It is a rare disease in dogs, with cats seven to ten times more likely to be infected. The disease in dogs can affect the lungs and skin, but more commonly the eye and central nervous system.

L. interrogans cells are gram-negative, tightly coiled, motile spirochetes, with two periplasmic flagella. [1] One flagellum is inserted at each end of the bacterium. The cells are thin, about 0.15 μm, and long, between 6-20 μm, with a corkscrew shaped body with spiral or hooked ends. [1]
Leptospira alstonii is a gram negative, mobile, spirochete. [1] It is flexible, helical, and motile by means of two periplasmic flagella (axial fibrils). It is obligately aerobic and oxidase positive.
