Abstract
This study was carried out to determine Leptospira infection rates in dogs in An Giang province by micro agglutination test (MAT) with 18 serogroups of Leptospira. The results showed that the seroprevalance rate of Leptospira infected dogs in An Giang province was 20.15% (53/263), in which two dominant pathogenic serogroups in dogs were Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae (50.53%) and Leptospira panama (16.13%). Leptospira infection rate of hybrid dog breed and domestic dog breeds was almost similar and accounted for 20.69 % and 19.89%,respectively. It is suggested that canine leptospirosis should be diagnosed and treated soon to prevent the risk of transmission of pathogenic Leptospira from dogs to owners in this province
