Abstract

A total of 108 blood serum samples of bovine were collected from different regions of South Andaman to Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (RDDL, ER, Kolkata) for sero-prevalence study of bovine leptospirosis. All the sera samples were tested by Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) against eight serovars of Leptospira spp. Out of 108 serum samples tested, 75(69.44%) were serologically positive. The most prevalent serovars were Automnalis (53.70%) followed by Sejroe (28.70%) and Hardjo (22.22%). This study suggests that bovine may have a role in maintaining Autumnalis serovar of Leptospira as reservoir in Anandaman and Nicobar Islands.
