      abstract = {A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine seroprevalence and risk factors of leptospirosis in Maiduguri and its environs. The study was to determine the seroprevalence of leptospira species in cattle and its risk factors. A total of 270 blood samples comprising of 111 male and 159 female cattle were collected from the animal aseptically. The sera were then screened for the presence of leptospira spp using ELISA. Data obtained, then analysed to know the relationship between the variable tested. The sera tested was 8.9% seropositive to ELISA. There was no statistically significant association between the Sex and Breeds of the animal tested (P value 0.05). but there was statistically significant association between the age of the animal and the leptospira species. (P value 0.05). the study indicated that seroprevalence of leptospirosis higher in Maiduguri and its environs specifically in female cattle and cattle older than 3 years. This can be risk for both human and susceptible animals in the study area},
