Aim: Seroepidemiological study of leptospirosis in cattle of various South Gujarat district (Navsari, Tapi, Surat, Valsad).
Materials and Methods: Whole blood samples were collected randomly from different age groups, and breeds of cattle
of either sex reared in different districts (Navsari, Surat, Tapi, Valsad) of South Gujarat. To obtain serum, whole blood was
kept in slanting position in 9.0 ml plain vacutainers until serum extracted out of the whole blood. Then these 9.0 ml plain
vacutainers were centrifuged at 7000 rpm for 10 min. The straw colored serum was then collected in 1.5 ml sterile cryo vials
and aliquoted and stored at −20°C for microscopic agglutination test.
Results: In the present study, overall 12.81% (51/398) seroprevalence were recorded with highest seroprevalence (47.06%,
24/51) from Valsad followed by Navsari (9.14%, 18/197), Surat (6.90%, 2/29) and Tapi (5.79%, 7/121) among cattle. The
seroprevalence rate of breed and sex wise did not differ significantly (p≤0.05). Maximum incidence of seropositivity was
found above 4 years (16.32%, 39/239) of age group followed by animals between 1 and 4 years (9.68%, 12/124). Thus, the
age was significantly influencing the seropositivity (p≤0.05). In cattle out of 398 sera screened, 51 were positive with one
or more serovars. The highest seropositivity was recorded against serovar Pomona (28.89%).
Conclusions: Overall 12.81% seroprevalence of leptospirosis in apparently healthy and clinically ailing bovine of South
Gujarat indicating potential zoonotic risk to farmers, labor, and animal owners.
