Abstract (English): Objective: Determining to six serovares Leptospira spp. seroprevalence in assistants and veterinarians working in small animal consulting rooms in Villavicencio, Meta Colombia that previously had been seroreactor for Elisa-Pambio. Materials and Methods: 72 sera samples were taken from a subgroup of individuals consisting of assistants and veterinarians, in turn forming part of a larger population which included another 7 human groups at risk of becoming infected by Leptospira spp.; a cross-sectional epidemiological model was used and subjects were chosen by convenience. The sera had remained frozen (-70°C) in the Universidad de los Llanos Animal Reproduction and Genetics laboratory since being obtained. A commercial indirect ELISA kit (Pambio) was used for determining IgM antibodies. hardjoprajitno, copenhageni, canícola, icterohaemorrhagiae, autumnalis, bratislava, australis and pomona serovars were used in the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). The protocol of laboratory of the national program of investigation in animal health of CORPOICA-CEISA was used. Results: MAT seropositivity was 26.4% (21% in assistants and 29% in veterinarians) Seropositivity by serovar was: 24% bratislava, 8% australis, 6% copenhageni, 3% canícola, 1% autumnalis and hardjoprajitno. No reactors to icterohaemorrhagiae and pomona were found. Serological titres ranged from 1:25 to 1:400. Conclusions: It was thus concluded that seropositivity in the group being studied was high and worrying, meaning that biosafety measures must be maximized for all people working in veterinary practice.

Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo: Determinar seroprevalencia por la prueba de MAT a seis serovares de Leptospira spp. en el grupo de riesgo: auxiliares y veterinarios de consultorios de pequeños animales de Villavicencio, Meta, Colombia, que previamente había sido serorreactor por Elisa-Pambio. Materiales y métodos: Se tomaron 72 muestras de sueros de individuos pertenecientes al subgrupo de auxiliares y veterinarios, de una población mayor que incluía otros 7 grupos humanos a riesgo a Leptospira spp. y que había presentado reactividad serológica considerada como "positiva" (17 %) a la prueba de Elisa para Leptospira spp. con un kit de Pambio. Los sueros, que se habían conservado a -70°C en el Laboratorio de Reproducción y Genética Animal de la Universidad de los Llanos, fueron evaluados para reactividad serológica a la prueba de microaglutinación-lisis (MAT) con los serovares L. hardjoprajitno, L. copenhageni, L. canícola, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, L. autumnalis, L. bratislava, L. australis y L. pomona. Se utilizó el protocolo de laboratorio del Programa Nacional de Investigación en Salud Animal de corpoica-ceisa. Resultados: La seropositidad a MAT fue 26.4%. En los auxiliares 21% y los veterinarios 29%. La seropositidad por serovar fue L. bratislava 24%, L. australis 8%, L. copenhageni 6%, L. canícola 3%, L. autumnalis y L. hardjoprajitno 1%. No se encontraron reactores a icterohaemorrhagiae y pomona. Los títulos serológicos estuvieron en un rango entre 1:25 y 1:400. La copositividad entre MAT y ELISA IgM fue 42% y la conegatividad 77%. Conclusiones: La seropositidad en el grupo estudiado es alta y preocupante, por lo tanto, exige extremar las medidas de bioseguridad durante la práctica médico veterinaria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
