The aimed of this study was to determine and compare seroprevalence of Bovine Leukosis between beef and dare cattle in the city of Catalão, Goiás and identify epidemiological factors that influence the disease. Twenty properties were chosen ten with dare ability and ten cut ability, comprising 120 animals of each one. The epidemiological variables considered were: ability (beef or dare), gender, age, replacement of animals on the property, needle exchange among animals, intense presence of vectors practice of milking, fomites sharing, veterinary care and supply of silage. Serum samples were examined by AGID - LEB and produced by TECPAR. In beef properties, 20 calves were positive (16.67%), whereas in dairy herd cattle 49 (40.83%) were positive for leukemia. In simple regression, there was an increase of probability of 3,45 times of the animal is seropositive for leukemia in dare ability. The age group with the highest percentage of positive was that of over 36 months. A higher positivity rate (34.57%) on the properties who do needle exchange than no standard exchange. When analyzed individually, needle exchange did not influence the frequency of the disease. In the multivariate analysis, needle exchange influenced the leukemia frequency, being higher in properties that practiced exchange. Vectors presence on the property and providing silage influence the greatest number of positive animals. Females had a higher percentage of positive animals for leukemia than males. Properties that practiced replecement of animals from other areas had lowest percentage of positivity. In properties where cows were milked, denotes to increase 1,28 times of chance of the animal been positive for leukemia. Fomites sharing practice influenced the higher positivity of the herd in the properties that used this practice. Failure of veterinary treatment was responsible for over 50% of cases of animals with leukemia. Of the ten risk factors, five were significant (ability, age, needle exchange, presence of vectors and supply of silage) when evaluated together for the presence of the disease and five as unrepresentative (sex, replacement of animals, milking, sharing fomites and veterinary care). In dairy cattle observed increase in the probability of being positive for leucosis more than 5,21 times. For each age group that evolves, is increased by 0,16times of the chance of finding disease. Already needle exchange represented an increase of 2,83 times of probability of having leukemia. Intense presence of vectors increased 7,14 times of chance to present leukemia. Providing silage represents an increase of 5,2 times of probability of bovine be positive. In multivariate regression, gender, replacement of animals, milking, sharing fomites and veterinary care together not correlate with seropositivity for enzootic bovine leukemia. 8.34% (20/240) of positive population belongs to beef cattle and 20.42% (49/240) belongs to dairy cattle. In conclusion, Enzootic Bovine Leukosis occurs most frequently in dairy cattle in the court, in the Catalan / GO region. The risk factors that together account for significant prevalence of the disease are: animals over 36 months, needle exchange, intense presence of vectors and supply of silage.
