Summary

INTRODUCTION

The oral cavity and conjunctiva (Brito et al, 2018). Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis that has a significant impact on animal and public health. Microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is the gold standard for diagnosing leptospirosis recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) (Fraga et al, 2015). The principle of this test is based on the reaction between the serovar antigen Leptospira sp. Circulating in slaughtered cattle from Yogyakarta abattoir through serological microscopic agglutination tests (MAT), molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and histopathology. This data provide benefits in efforts to prevent the incidence and transmission of leptospirosis in humans and animals
