A field-study on Leptospira seroprevalence in dairy cows in four geographical areas in Sweden

Lindahl, Elisabeth; Boqvist, Sofia; Artursson, Karin; Magnusson, Ulf

Abstract

Conclusions: The present data indicate that there is a low seroprevalence of Leptospira in Swedish dairy cows. These findings can be used as baseline data to investigate the effects of, for instance, climatic change or alterations in wildlife reservoir populations on the seroprevalence of Leptospira in the future.
