| Abstract: | Describir el comportamiento serológico en los estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias de la Universidad Central de Venezuela, con relación a la leptospirosis durante el periodo académico 2007-2008. Metodos: La muestra estuvo constituida por 151 individuos, seleccionados mediante muestreo estratificado de una población de 649 estudiantes. El diagnóstico se realizó mediante la prueba de Micro Aglutinación (MAT) empleando los serovares icterohemorragiae, canicola, hardjo, gryppotyphosa, ballum, pomona, wolffi y hebdomadis. Se tomó como positivo todo suero que mostrara aglutinación a un titulo mayor o igual a 1:100. Resultados: Todos los estudiantes evaluados resultaron negativos a la MAT lo cual significa que para el momento del estudio no habían estado en contacto con la bacteria o que si hubo contacto las condiciones no fueron favorables para que ocurriera infección. |
