The Epidemiology And Bacteriology Of Leptospiral Infection In Two Selected Cattle Farms In Peninsular Malaysia

A serological survey of cattle on two selected farms in Malaysia revealed that 87.7 percent (150/171) of the animals examined had leptospiral antibodies. Sixty percent of the positive sera had titres to two or more serovars. serovar australis was found to be the most frequent Overall, serovar...
