RESUMO
ctBovine brucellosis, which is caused by Brucella abortus, is characterized for causing reproductivelosses. This study aimed to search for antibodies to Brucella abortus in cattle at the Alvorada do Gurguéia FarmSchool, in the state of Piaui, Brazil. Blood samples were collected from sixty five animals either male or femaleand from various ages. After serum was obtained by centrifugation of samples, it was sent to the Laboratory ofPhisiopathology of Animal Reproduction, located at the Campus Ministro Petrônio Portela, in Teresina PI.There, it was conducted the serological diagnosis through the agglutination test by using the buffered acidifiedplate antigen (BAPA). All samples were found nonreactive to the test, which was possibly caused by the absenceof some factors that would favor the occurrence of brucellosis in the farm area. Thus, the results show thatbovine brucellosis is not present in the cattle of the studied area.(AU)

This study aimed to search for anti-leptospira agglutinins in cattle from the Alvorada do GurguéiaFarm School, in the state of Piaui. Blood samples were collected from sixty-five bovines from various ages andboth sexes. The sorum was obtained by centrifugation of samples and sent to the Laboratory of Phisiopathologyof Animal Reproduction, located at the Campus Ministro Petrônio Portela, in Teresina PI, where theserological diagnosis was conducted through the microscopic agglutination test by using a colletion of serovars.None of the samples were found reactive to any of the serovars used, what shows that bovine leptospirosis is not present at the area studied.(AU)
