Abstract

BACKGROUND: Most leptospiral infections in SHEEP and GOAT are asymptomatic but may result in high fever, abortion, stillbirth, agalactiae. There is a different foraging behavior between SHEEP and GOAT that may cause the different prevalence of Leptospira interrogans infection in SHEEP and GOATs.OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the present study was to compare the prevalence ofL. interrogans antibodies in SHEEP and GOATs.METHODS: Blood samples were taken from 246 SHEEP and 210 GOATs in 12 herds from 8 areas of Ahvaz where the animals were kept together. Sera were initially screened at dilution of 1: 100 against 8 live serovars of L. intrrogans: pomana, canicola, hardjo, ballom, ictrohaemorrhagiae, grippotyphosa, tarasovi and australis using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT).RESULTS: The prevalence of leptospiral infection was 8.53% in SHEEP and 10.95% in GOATs. The highest reacting leptospira in both species wasL.i. Pomona with a reactor rate of 68.18% in SHEEP and 56% in GOATs, followed in descending order by ictrohaemorrhagiae (18.8%), canicula, hardjo and grippotyphosa (each of them 4.54%), in SHEEP and ictrohaemorrhagiae (28%), canicula (16%) in GOATs. Statistical analysis showed that were no significant differences between SHEEP and GOAT (P=0.428).There were no significant differences among age groups in SHEEP (p=0.301) and GOATs (p=0.363), but there was a tendency in adults SHEEP and GOATs (³3years) to be more seropositive than young SHEEP and GOATs. SEROPREVALENCE of leptospiral infection among various areas in SHEEP (p=0.464) and GOATs (p= 0.710) was also not significantly different.CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that there is no difference between SHEEP and GOATs in terms of leptospiral infection when they are kept together in the same herd and husbandry condition.
