Abstract: Brucellosis and Leptospirosis, they are infectious illnesses of importance in Mexico, whose main symptomathology is abortion, causing severe economic losses for the dairy industry the country. The objective of the present research was to value the presence of antibodies against Brucellosis and Leptospirosis and its relationship with abortions in a farm in the State of Hidalgo, northeast of Mexico City. Total 44 animals were analyzed; 24 with antecedents of abortions and 20 taken at random without this antecedent. In both types of animals, they were carried out serological tests. The aim was to value, the presence of antibodies against Brucellosis, the agglutination technique was used in card, confirming the results with the technique of Rivanol; for the valuation of antibodies against Leptospirosis, microscopic agglutination was used. The results obtained were: 55% of presence of antibodies against Brucellosis and 46.5% for Leptospirosis in serums coming from animals with antecedents of abortions; in the obtained serums of animals without antecedents of abortions, was 20% of presence of antibodies against Brucellosis and 0% for Leptospirosis. The conclusion was that a relationship exists among Brucellosis, Leptospirosis and abortions in the dairy farm studied.
