Live cattle export is one of the newest commercial sectors available to Brazilian farmers, but to be exported animals must be free of infectious diseases, especially those prohibited by the countries importing them. In this study, 1,800 bovine sera were collected from animals destined for export in the Brazilian states of Goiás (GO), Minas Gerais (MG), and São Paulo (SP). The sera were tested for bovine brucellosis (BB), paratuberculosis (PTB), enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), and bovine viral diarrhea (BVD). This was the first study in Brazil to conduct a serological survey for bovine PTB in the states of SP, GO, and MG, and the first survey for BVD in GO. The total percentage of animals positive for each disease was 0.33% (2/1,800) for BB, 16.17% (97/1,800) for PTB, 31.50% (189/1,800) for EBL, and 9.67% (58/1,800) for BVD.

A serological survey of leptospirosis in cattle originating from rural communities of the province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in South Africa was carried out between March 2001 and December 2003. The survey was designed as a 2-stage survey, using the local dip tank as the primary sampling point. In total, 2021 animals from 379 dip tanks in 33 magisterial districts were sampled and tested with the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). The apparent prevalence at district level was adjusted for clustering and diagnostic test sensitivity and specificity and displayed in maps. The prevalence of leptospirosis in cattle originating from communal grazing areas of KZN was found to be 19.4% with a 95% confidence interval of 14.8-24.1 %. At district level the prevalence of leptospirosis varied from 0 to 63 % of cattle. Bovine leptospirosis was found to occur in communal grazing areas throughout the province with the exception of 2 districts. The southeastern regions showed a higher prevalence than other areas of the province; while in some of the northern and western districts a lower prevalence was noted. Several serovars were detected by the MAT and although Leptospira interrogans serovar pomona occurred most frequently, serovars tarrasovi, bratislava, hardjo, canicola and icterohaemorrhagica were also frequently identified. The findings of the survey are discussed.
