The Epidemiology And Bacteriology Of Leptospiral Infection In Two Selected Cattle Farms In Peninsular Malaysia
A serological survey of cattle on two selected farms in Malaysia revealed that 87.7 percent (150/171) of the animals examined had leptospiral antibodies. Sixty percent of the positive sera had titres to two or more serovars. serovar australis was found to be the most frequent Overall, serovar...

| description | A serological survey of cattle on two selected farms in
Malaysia revealed that 87.7 percent (150/171) of the animals
examined had leptospiral antibodies. Sixty percent of the
positive sera had titres to two or more serovars.
serovar australis was found to be the most frequent
Overall,
serovar
affecting the animals in these two farms. Amongst the three
age groups of cattle, the year ling group h ad the highest
prevalence (62/64) of infection.
A bacteriological survey of cattle on the two farms
revealed 11. 5 percent (13/113) of the animals were leptospiruric. Almost all of the isolates (12/13) were isolated from the
yearling group. The isolates belonged to either the Sejroe or
Pomona serogroup. Representative isolates have been sent to the Leptospirosis Reference Laboratory in Brisbane, Australia
for definitive identification. |
