In 1985-1988, 993 serum samples of dogs from Southern Bavaria and 408 samples from Northern Bavaria and from several Lands of the Federal Republic of Germany were tested for antibodies against the serovars canicola, icterohaemorrhagiae, grippotyphosa, bratislava, pomona, saxkoebing, sejroe and hardjo by using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). 683 seras (48.75%) out of altogether 1401 samples showed a reaction against one up to seven serovars. The mostly low canicola- and icterohaemorrhagiae titers, having been proved in over 30% of the samples, can be put down to the fact, that usually the dogs had been vaccinated. Most frequently titers were found with the serovars grippotyphosa and bratislava--in Southern Bavaria 28.3%, in Northern Bavaria and other Lands of the Federal Republic of Germany 18.6%. The prevalence of titers against serovar saxkoebing, with or without a reaction against other serovars out of homologous and heterologous serogroups, reach up to 3.2% in sendings coming from Southern Bavaria and in other sendings up to 6.1%.
