Livestock play a paramount role in the traditional agricultural sector of zambia. A sero-epidemiological survey (cattle, Sanga type, Tonga breed) has been done in the Valley disctricts of the Southern Porvince, whci is the most important area of the country for agriculture and livestock prodoction. Overall prevalences were: 6,6% for brucellosis, 2,9% for chalmydiosis, 2,9% for leptospirosis and 11% for leukosis. No animal was positive to listeriosis. As some of these diseases are of zzonotic importance, the risk for the people involved in animal husbandry and cattle production in the study area are also considered.

Abstract
Livestock play a paramount role in the traditional agricultural sector of zambia. A sero-epidemiological survey (cattle, Sanga type, Tonga breed) has been done in the Valley disctricts of the Southern Porvince, whci is the most important area of the country for agriculture and livestock prodoction. Overall prevalences were: 6,6% for brucellosis, 2,9% for chalmydiosis, 2,9% for leptospirosis and 11% for leukosis. No animal was positive to listeriosis. As some of these diseases are of zzonotic importance, the risk for the people involved in animal husbandry and cattle production in the study area are also considered.
