Genvs III. Leptospira Xoguchi. 

 (Jour. Exp. Med., 25, 1917, 753.) 



Finely coiled organisms 6 to 20 microns in length. Spirals 0.3 micron in depth and

 liquid and vermiform in semisolid agar, forward or backward. Seen in living prepara- 

 tions only with dark field. Stain with difficulty except with Giemsa's stain and silver 

 impregnation. Require oxygen for growth. 



The type species is Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae (Inada and Ido) Noguchi.
