The objective was to estimate the frequency of dogs with antibodies against Leptospira serovars and explore their epidemiological association with demographic and lifestyle characteristics in a locality in southeastern Mexico. One hundred and nine dogs from Maxcanú, Yucatan, were studied and tested by microagglutination (MAT) against seven serovars. A serum reactive with 1:100 was considered; the highest reactive dilution and serovars were recorded. MAT showed that 27 (11.93%) sera reacted to one serovar, and 96 sera (88.07%) reacted to more than one, with titers ranging from 1:100 to 1:1 600. Associations between these results and dog data were explored using chi-square tests, revealing that female dogs are more likely to come into contact with specific serovars. This finding is important for both public and animal health because dogs may pose a risk of infection to susceptible hosts, particularly females, who show an association with specific serovars.
