Leptospirosis epidemic in cows of Golestan province during 2006-2007

Leptospirosis is one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases of humans and animals around the world, which is caused by direct or indirect contact with the urine of infected animals. Since there is no basic information about the condition of Golestan province in this survey, Leptospirosis was studied and monitored in this survey. In this regard, from 910 cows of different age, blood samples were collected and the samples were examined by microagglutination method. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and Chi-square test. Finally, the results showed that 170(%19) samples had a positive serological response of total samples, of which 86 responded with only one serovar. In all samples with serum positive serum response, 41.15% showed gripotyphosis, 35.89% with Sirjrohardjoo, 22.49% with canicola and 0.48% with Pomona. Also, the highest frequency (33.49%) was observed in the 1,400 headline. It is worth noting that none of the samples were detectable against the serum hemorrhagia of the head. Also, the results of statistical analysis did not show a significant difference between season and age and infection rate.
