A serological study of leptospiral infection in buffaloes in Malaysia.

A serological survey of 13 herds of buffaloes from 2 large established farms and 3 groups of smallholdings in Malaysia showed 132 (31.9%) of the animals examined had leptospiral titres (>1:40) to one or more leptospiral serovars by the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Seventy eight (18.8%) o...

Seventy eight (18.8%) of the buffaloes had titres to serovar hardjo, 41 (9.9%) to serovar tarassovi,and 44 to serovars icterohemorrhagiae,pomona and pyrogenes. Results showed all but one of the herds had experienced hardjo infection,with individual herd prevalence ranging from 5.6% to 32.1%. It is seen that sporadic hardjo infection is not uncommon in buffaloes. More detailed studies are necessary to elucidate the epidemiology of leptospiral infection in buffaloes. 1986 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://psasir.upm.edu.my/id/eprint/19793/1/ID%2019793.pdf Bahaman, A.
