Leptospirosis is a disease caused by a spirochet of the genus Leptospira. Zoonosis is a world-wide distributed. It is zoonosis that has a huge economic impact because of the important loss that causes to stockbreeding, especially in terms of reproduction and milk production of the animals, given that it has an abortive potential, causes neonatal mortality, and decreases or annuls the production of milk. The goal of the present work was to estimate the prevalence of leptospirosis in bovines in two haciendas in the Department of Puno, the ILLPA-INIA Experimental Station and Livestock farming Cardenas, in the locality of Mañazo, and its association with the season of the year, age, and gender. One hundred and sixteen samples of serum were evaluated in the dry season; blood was collected from all the males and females from both haciendas and evaluated by the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) for the detection of antibodies, using a set of four serovars (canicola, icterohaemorrhagiae, pomona, and hardjo). A total prevalence of 2.6% was obtained; 3.7% corresponded to animals of ILLPA-INIA and 15.4% to the animals of Mañazo. From the analyzed animals it was found that the serovar icterohaemorrhagiae was the most prevalent with a level of antibodies of 1:200. These results suggest a low prevalence of Leptospira sp. in the dry season in the area of study.
