The prevalence leptospirosis in feline species Algeria unknown. main objectives this study determine seroprevalence identify most common Leptospira serovars Algiers region.Methodology: Serum samples from 144 randomly selected healthy 57 municipalities region were analyzed by microscopic agglutination test (MAT). MAT was performed antibody titers against nine (Canicola, Copenhageni, Icterohaemorrhagiae, Autumnalis, Grippotyphosa, Bratislava, Pomona, Pyrogenes, Patoc). age each cat estimated based on dentition physical appearance, information sex, breed clinical status collected. Data analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0Results: antibodies detected 8 cats, giving a rate 5.6% [95% confidence interval (CI)=1.814-9.297]. ranged 1:100 1:3200. Serovars Pyrogenes (1:100) Patoc prevalent 2.8% (4/144) followed Icterohaemorrhagiae Bratislava 2.1% (3/144) cats. 7.8% (7/90) male higher than 1.9% (1/54) female but did not reach significant difference (OR=4.47, 95% CI=0.5344-37.387, p=0.2586).
