This study aimed to investigate the presence of agglutinins anti-Leptospira dogs in the city of Bom Jesus, PI, using the agglutination test Microscopic Technique (SAM). Of the 106 samples, 20 (18.84%) were reactive. Of the 21 evaluated the following serovars were detected: Pyrogenes (43.47%), Canícola (39.13%), Icterohaemorrhagiae (8.69%) and Autumnalis (8.69%).
