canine serum samples (n = 400) from the pretoria area were tested for leptospira antibodies, using the microscopic agglutination test. the prevalence of antibodies (inconclusive and positive titres) was 1.5%. reactions were only against leptospira interrogans serovars tarassovi and pyrogens. leptospirosis does not appear to be an important canine disease in the pretoria area.
