Leptospirosis and neosporosis are abortive diseases in cattle, with the former being a zoonosis caused by leptospira, while the latter is caused by the protozoan Neospora caninum, an emerging disease in dogs. The purpose of the study was to determine the seroprevalence of cattle to Neospora caninum and Leptospira spp. Bovine serum samples were used, the determination of antibodies to Neospora caninum by cELISA and of leptospira spp., by MAT, for the confirmation of oocysts of Neospora caninum the Teleman stool test was performed, in the case of seropositives to leptospira spp., a second sample was obtained, 956 samples from 158 UPAs were analyzed, 19.35% were seroprevalent to Neospora caninun, to leptospira spp., a seroprevalence of 74.83%, with titers of 1/400 to the first sample of 28% and with titers of 1/800 0.2%, the paired sample yielded titles of 1/400 in 28% of the samples, a seroprevalence of 19.17% for both diseases, in the surroundings of the San Sebastián parish, there is a greater probability of identifying leptospires and in Jimbilla neosporas.

Palabras clave : Neospora caninum; Leptospira spp.; Zoonosis; abortion.
