Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on 16 slaughtered bulls and found that 81.2% tested positive for leptospirosis, with 75% showing genital infections.
- * The infection was linked to Leptospira interrogans of the Sejroe serogroup, revealing that bulls play a significant role in harboring and potentially spreading this reproductive disease in cattle.

Background: Bovine genital leptospirosis (BGL) causes chronic reproductive disease in cattle. This study aimed to apply a combined serological-molecular testing protocol under field conditions for diagnosing BGL in cows with gestational losses.
Methods: Three beef herds with reproductive failures were studied, and 60 cows with gestational losses (20 from each herd) were randomly selected for laboratory diagnosis of BGL.
