Preliminary serological study of Leptospira spp. in a sheep flock on the savannah of Bogotá ; Estudio preliminar serológico de Leptospira spp. en un rebaño ovino de la sabana de Bogotá ; Estudo preliminar sorológico de Leptospira spp. em um rebanho ovino da savana de Bogotá

The research aimed to conduct a serological study on leptospirosis in a sheep flock on the savannah of Bogotá, in order to detect the presence of this agent and to broaden knowledge on its tendency in our field. There were two visits to the farm, one during the dry season ( January) and another one in the rainy season (May), to check 250 animals in each season, which were 100 males and 150 females of different races living on the farm. Microscopic agglutination test was used to determine the presence of antibodies to the six serovars that have been identified as the most frequent in Colombia i... Mehr ...

The research aimed to conduct a serological study on leptospirosis in a sheep flock on the savannah of Bogotá, in order to detect the presence of this agent and to broaden knowledge on its tendency in our field. There were two visits to the farm, one during the dry season ( January) and another one in the rainy season (May), to check 250 animals in each season, which were 100 males and 150 females of different races living on the farm. Microscopic agglutination test was used to determine the presence of antibodies to the six serovars that have been identified as the most frequent in Colombia in different domestic species. The results of the study indicated that the most common serovar in sheep was L. interrogans serovar Icterohaemorrhagiae, followed by L. interrogans serovar Bratislava, L. borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo, L. interrogans serovars Canicola, Pomona and Grippotyphosa. The research concluded that, even though there were no clinical cases reported during the study, leptospirosis associated with different serovars in sheep suggests the presence of the agent in the herd; new studies would be necessary to deepen our knowledge on the effect this would have on reproduction. ; El objeto de la investigación fue realizar un estudio serológico de la leptospirosis en un rebaño ovino de la sabana de Bogotá, con el propósito de detectar la presencia de este agente y ampliar el conocimiento sobre su tendencia en nuestro medio. Se realizaron dos visitas a la granja, una durante el periodo seco (enero) y otra en la época lluviosa (mayo), donde se chequearon 250 animales en cada uno de los dos periodos, pertenecientes a 100 machos y 150 hembras de diferentes razas existentes en la granja. Se evaluó la presencia de anticuerpos contra los seis serovares que se han reconocido como los más frecuentes en Colombia en las diferentes especies domésticas. La prueba utilizada fue la de microaglutinación. Los resultados obtenidos en el estudio indicaron que el serovar más frecuente en los ovinos fue L. interrogans serovar ...
