During the five years mostly free living small mammals were examined serologically for the presence of antibodies to leptospira. 2,493 individuals of 22 species were examined. Antibodies to leptospira were demonstrated in 123 mammals of eleven species. In six most dominant species higher values of antibodies to leptospira were detected in Microtus arvalis (9.2 %), followed by Apodemus flavicollis (5.6 %), A. agrarius (5.4 %) and A. microps (4.9 %). The lowest values were found in Clethrionomys glareolus. (2.5 %) and Sorex araneus (2.3 %). In examined hosts we found antibodies to six serovars of leptospira.
