Abstract
A macroscopic plate test was found to be reliable and convenient for detection of Leptospira serotype pomona antibodies in bovine sera. However, the procedure was unreliable for detecting L. serotype canicola antibodies because of false positive reactions. An indirect immunofluorescence test and the microscopic agglutination test provided comparable results and they effectively detected serotype pomona antibodies in bovine sera.
