Leptospirosis is a neglected most widespread re-emerging global zoonotic disease affecting both animals and humans diversely in developing countries. In this study, investigation was carried out to know the distribution of leptospira serovars and its seroprevalence in bovine population in Konkan region of Maharashtra, where human cases of leptospirosis have been reported periodically. A total of 575 serum samples (Cattle-171; Buffaloes-245; Bullocks-81; Bulls-78) randomly collected from coastal areas (Sindhudurg-174, Raigad-90, Thane-230, Mumbai-81) were tested at 1:100 dilution in microscopic agglutination test (MAT) using live antigens of 18 reference leptospira serovars. The overall seroprevalence of 41.04% (236/575) (CI: 95% 37.01 to 45.20) with 34.5% in cattle, 52.2% in buffaloes, 32.1% in bullocks and 29.4% in bulls was observed. The results of chi-square test revealed that seroprevalence is not independent across the age groups for buffaloes (χ2 =9.98, p Not Available |
