Abstract: 569Pesq. Vet. Bras. 31(7): 569-574, julho 2011 RESUMO.-A toxoplasmose é uma zoonose de ampla distribuição mundial, causada pelo Toxoplasma gondii. O estudo da prevalência desta infecção em animais produtores de carne e leite é de interesse à saúde pública, devido ao fato desses produtos oriundos de animais infectados serem importantes vias de transmissão para o homem, quando consumidos in natura. Além disso, há o aspecto econômico, uma vez que pode causar aborto, retardo no crescimento e animais debilitados… Show more

“…The availability of feed in an uncovered place was a risk factor detected in this study, and it favored transmission of T. gondii to the herds, since feed in this situation can easily be contaminated with cat feces. The presence of cats was also a risk factor for infection in the present study, as previously observed in several other Brazilian studies (ROMANELLI et al, 2007;LOPES et al, 2010;LUCIANO et al, 2011;ANDRADE et al, 2013), including in the state of Sergipe (MENDONÇA et al, 2013).…”

“…IFAT showed antibodies titers of 64 in 83.2% of the sheep. The high number of sheep presenting the minimum titer suggests that chronic infection by coccidia was present, as observed in similar studies on sheep in the states of Alagoas and Rio de Janeiro (PINHEIRO et al, 2009;LUCIANO et al, 2011). Mendonça et al (2013), in the state of Sergipe (11.8%), and Brandão et al (2009), in the state of Maranhão (40.5%), detected high percentages of seropositivity with a titer of 256, therefore slightly higher than in the present study (5.2%).…”

“…Os animais deste estudo eram criados extensivamente, ficando expostos a pastagens que poderiam ter sido contaminadas por gatos e felídeos silvestres, tendo estes grande importância para a disseminação do parasito entre os herbívoros (18,19) .…”

“…The literature suggests the age of animal can influence on the incidence of toxoplasmosis and it can be explained due to the wide time of exposition of the animal with the parasite (MODOLO et al, 2008;LUCIANO et al, 2011;GUIMARÃES et al, 2013). In this work, despite the prevalence of anti-T. gondii were mathematically higher for animals from 4-5 and > 6 years old, there were no statistic difference (P <0.001) by Fisher's exact test (CORREIA et al, 2015).…”
