The aim of this study was to verify ovine health condition from Uberlândia county (MG), searching the prevalence of the main infections diseases that can reach ovine: leptospirosis, brucelosis (Brucella abortus and Brucella ovis), maedi-visna, Chamydophila spp., neosporosis and toxoplasmosis, associating these infections with risk factors. A total of 334 blood samples were collected randomly from both sex, different ages and breeds from 12 farms in Uberlândia county. A epidemiologic questionary was applied for each farm. The blood samples were submitted to Microscopic Aglutination Test (leptospirosis) Buffered Brucella Antigen Test (brucelosis Brucella abortus), Complement Fixation (Brucella ovis and Chlamydophila spp.), Agar Gel Immunodifusion (maedi-visna) and Indirect Fluorescent Antibody (neosporosis and toxoplasmosis) tests to search serology of these infections. The prevalences were: 22.2% to leptospirosis and titers from 1/100 to 1/3200, 3.3% to Chlamydophila spp. and titers from 1/32 to 1/64, 8.1% to neosporosis and titers from 1/50 to 1/3200 and 30.8% to toxoplasmosis. There were not reactive ovine to brucelosis (Brucella abortus and Brucella ovis) and maedi-visna. There was statistical significant difference (p<0.05) to reactive ovine to leptospirosis: male, breed, beef sheep and with presence of rodents. There was not statistical significant difference to brucelosis, maedi-visna, Chlamydophila spp. and neosporosis with risk factors associated (p>0.05).
