We determined the seroprevalence of anti-Leptospira sp aglunininas in 1360 serum samples from sheep, the Southeast and Southwest messorregiãoes Rio Grande, between the months January to March of 199. The highest seroprevalence of Leptospira sp, more frequently to serovar hardjo, we elaborated a monovalent L hardjo, as oil adjuvant, administered to two groups of sheep consisting of 15 sheep and a third consisting of 10 control animals. The first group received two doses of vaccine with an interval of 30 days and the second group only one dose of vaccine by the microscopic agglutination test and ELISA, for period of 120 days. The determination of the prevalence of Leptospira spp in sheep in the Southeast and Southwest Mesorregiãoes Rio Grande, including development of an experimental killed vaccine proved to be important tools that can be used in epidemiological surveys and control programs implanting of Leptospirosis in sheep
