--- Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis, endemic in tropical and subtropical countries. It affects both wild and domestic animals, including the canids, which can transport leptospires in the urine, therefore, infecting other animals and humans that interact with them. The infection is caused by pathogenic species of Leptospira spp., consisting of 14 species currently described, distributed in more than 250 serovars. The aim of this study was to detect the presence of antibodies against Leptospira spp. in the Sechura fox (Lycalopex sechurae) and domestic canines that inhabit the José Ignacio Tavara Pasapera community, in Piura. To this end, 11 serum samples from Sechura foxes and 80 samples from domestic canines were analyzed, both from different sex and ages, using the micro agglutination test (MAT). From the 91 canids studied, 53.85% (49/91) were positive to at least one serovar tested. 36.36% (4/11) from the Zechura foxes presented antibodies against Leptospira spp., the most reagent serovars were Tarassovi, Javanica and Varillal. 56.25% (45/80) of the domestic canines were reagent against Leptospira spp., the most frequent serovars were Varillal, Canicola, Ballum and Hurtsbridge. The results indicate that there is the presence of some level of exposure to Leptospira spp. in the Sechuran foxes and the domestic canines that inhabit that community; wich makes them a possible a risk for animals and for people that inhabit that community and the surrounding areas as well. Key words: Lepstopira spp., Sechura fox, Domestic canines, Micro Aglutination Test, Presence.
