Abstract


Prevalence of agglutinating antibodies against certain leptospiral serotypes were investigated in man, domestic animals and rodents of Pakistan. In man L. grippotyphosa (14.2%), in cow L. pomona (50.9), in buffalo L. pomona (20.0%), in sheep L. australis (51.4%), in goat L. pyrogenes (30.7%) in R. norvegicus L. grippotyphosa (65.2%) and in Suncus murinus L. grippotyphosa (20.0%) were found as most prevalent serotype. The overall leptospira prevalence rate in commensal rats (A. rattus and ft. norvegicus) were determined 100%. The result suggested that the rodents and Suncus murinus play main role in transmission of leptospirbsis in man and livestock
