Presumptive serogroup; heterozygous mutation; homozygous mutation; WT: wild type; X: no leptospiral carriage found; ND: not done. Level of resistance induced by specific Vkorc1 genotype was previously reported by [25] and is indicated in this table as -, no AVKs resistance; +, limited AVKs resistance; and +++, severe AVKs resistance.
