AB  - A serological study for several serovars of <I>Leptospira </I>sp. was undertaken on a randomly selected population of beef cattle in 22 municipalities of Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Blood samples were collected from 1400 animals and sera were tested for antibodies against 12 serovars of <I>Leptospira </I>sp. (<I>bratislava</I>,<I> canicola</I>,<I> gryppotyphosa</I>,<I> hardjo</I>,<I> hebdomadis</I>,<I> icterohaemohrragiae</I>,<I> panama</I>,<I> pomona</I>,<I> pyrogenes</I>,<I> shermani</I>,<I> tarassovi</I>,<I> wolffi</I>) using the microscopic agglutination test. Antibodies against one or more serovars were detected in 646 sera (46%) of the 1383 samples tested. The most prevalent serovars detected were <I>hardjo</I> (19.8%), <I>wolffi </I>(18.6%) and tarassovi (6.5%).
