| Abstract: | Serum samples from 840 animals were examined for Leptospira spp. antibodies by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) to assess the risk factors and the prevalence of leptospirosis among animal herds of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram the north eastern (NER) provinces. They were compared with Tamilnadu (TN) the southern province of India for the serovar and risk factor inconsistency. Serovar Ballum was reported to be prevalent (28.1 %) in Assam and Grippotyphosa (16.1 %) in Tamilnadu. The overall seropositivity observed was 36.8 %(206/560) from NER and 30.7 %(86/280) from TN. In this study, the higher seroprevalence was observed in pigs (42.6 %), cattle (39.8 %) and goats (26 %) in NER. Cattle (36.4 %) and goat (17.6 %) showed higher prevalence in TN. The presence of rodents in pig herds was found to be significant (P = 0.0088) in NER and it was for cattle in TN (P = 0.0063). We suggest that a program of rodent control should be included in the flock management practices aiming to reduce transmission of the leptospires. |
