Isolates were obtained from all except one herd with prevalence of infection in herds ranging from 0\u201344\u00b78%. A small number of buffalo urine samples were examined and all of them were found to be negative. A leptospiral isolate obtained from a bovine kidney proved to be n new scrovar of<jats:italic>Leplospira interrogans<\/jats:italic>and the name<jats:italic>unipertama<\/jats:italic>was assigned to it. Six other leptospiral serovars were isolated, namely<jats:italic>canicola, australis, javanica<\/jats:italic>,<jats:italic>ballum, pomona<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>hardjo<\/jats:italic>. All six serovars were isolated for the first time in cattle in Malaysia.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Cattle in Malaysia appear to be the maintenance host for serovar<jats:italic>hardjo<\/jats:italic>. The presence of the other serovars in cattle was probably duo to contact with the maintenance hosts, pigs for serovar<jats:italic>pomona<\/jats:italic>and rodents for the other three serovars.
