Occurrence of Toxoplasma gondii and risk factors for infection in pigs raised and slaughtered in the Triângulo Mineiro region, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Abstract: The Triângulo Mineiro region from Minas Gerais state, is an important meat-exporting region of Brazil and data about Toxoplasma gondii infection in pigs raised and slaughtered in this area are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of T. gondii in swine and establish the risk factors associated with the infection. Samples were collected from 600 pigs raised under intensive system in farms located at three different counties (Carmo do Paranaíba, Patrocínio and Perdizes). The sam… Show more

“…These animals are more likely to acquire toxoplasmosis through ingesting contaminated food and water, and through access to small animals such as rodents [ 19 ]. Thus, prophylactic strategies such as avoiding rodents in piggeries [ 16 , 20 ], proper disposal of dead animals [ 16 , 22 ], indoor husbandry [ 22 , 31 ], avoidance of feeding with leftovers [ 19 ] or contaminated water [ 16 , 20 , 22 ], all commonly indicated risk factors ( Table 1 ), must be more implemented in Brazilian swine farms.…”

“…(mamíferos e aves), incluindo o homem TENTER et al, 2000;DUBEY et al, 2012). Ainda no Brasil, as taxas de infecção para rebanhos caprinos ovinos e suínos são elevada (DUBEY et al, 2012;MARQUES-SANTOS et al, 2017), e os impactos, aparentemente os danos são maiores, causam prejuízos reprodutivos, assim, como, graves manifestações clinicas em animais adultos ((SILVA et al, 2003, CALDEIRA et al, 2011, MESQUITA et al, 2019.…”
