Control of leptospirosis in swine herds

A method of control for swine Leptospirosis utilizing dihydrostreptomycin at 25 mg/kg of body weight, by the intramuscular route, associated to some prophylactic measures adopted, was applyed in eleven symptomatic or assymptomatic herds, and positive serological for Leptospira interrogans serum type pomona. The efficiency of this control system was approved, not only by the elimination of clinical symptoms, but also by the reached rate of 100% of negativity for leptospirosis, in the studied herds, eleven to forty-six months after the beginning of the experiment.

Um método de controle para leptospirose suína, utilizando diidroestreptomicina, na dose de 25 mg/kg de peso vivo, por via intramuscular, associada a algumas medidas profiláticas, foi empregado em onze rebanhos suínos sintomáticos ou assintomáticos e positivos sorologicamente para Leptospira interrogans, sorotipo pomona. A eficiência deste sistema de controle ficou comprovada não só pela eliminação dos sintomas clínicos mas também pela constatação da taxa de 100% de negatividade, para leptospirose, alcançada pelos rebanhos estudados, em tempo que variou de onze a quarenta e seis meses, após o início do experimento.
