Abstract

Serological study revealed a high prevalence rate (36) of leptospiral infection in the cattle examined. Antibodies against five leptospiral serovars namely australis canicola hardjo javanica and pomona were detected by MAT. The study showed similar sensitivity and specificity for both ELISA and MAT (70.8 Kappa test). Bacteriological study showed that 1.2 (3/244) of the animals had leptospiral infection. The 3 leptospiral isolates were identified as serovar hardio (2) and L. biflexa(1). The results of this study support early reports that cattle are the maintenance host of serovar hardjo in this country.
