Northern Arizona University received a $300,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) (CFDA 10.310), effective March 1, 2026, through February 29, 2028. The project addresses leptospirosis, a bacterial disease causing substantial economic losses to U.S. livestock producers through reproductive failures and chronic animal health issues. The university will generate new genetic information characterizing Leptospira species and strains that infect U.S. agricultural animals and contaminate farm soil and water. This research will establish the genetic composition of disease-causing leptospires affecting livestock and is expected to identify multiple pathogenic strains and potentially new species. The deliverables from this research will provide foundational knowledge to stakeholders, researchers, and industry to inform improved livestock diagnostics and vaccines against leptospirosis. By advancing understanding of the genetic diversity of leptospires affecting U.S. agriculture, the project directly supports long-range and sustainable improvements to U.S. agricultural productivity and food system security. The research will be conducted at Northern Arizona University's facilities in Flagstaff, Arizona, leveraging the institution's established expertise in agricultural research, environmental monitoring, and scientific investigation capabilities.Federal Grant Award Summary
