Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to study the prevalence of sera agglutinins anti-leptospira in bulls in Goiânia Micro-Region. Sixty farms were chosen randomly in according to sorovars presented and the tax of prevalence of them. The correlation of the prevalence of the leptospirosis were establish with the type of herd (beef or dairy) and the occurrence of abortions in farms. One hundred forty samples bulls from “Goiânia Micro-Region” were analyzed (MG) regarding 60 properties. The sera reagents prevalence was 74.28% and . presented titles with variation of dilution from 1:100 to 1:800. The prevalence of the sera varieties, presents in this “Goiania Micro-Region”, was the following: wolffi (19.23%); hardjo (15.38%); djasiman and grippotyphosa (5.76%); shermani (4.80%); patoc (1.92%); andamana, castellonis, copenhageni, hebdomadis, sentot and tarassovi (0.96%). According to these results, it was possible to conclude that leptospirosis is an endemic agent in this part of Goiás State and there were not any relationship with production system or abortions and prevalence.
