Seroprevalence and risk factors for toxoplasmosis and neosporosis in the dog population of Ibiúna, São Paulo, Brazil

Abstract: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dogs seropositive for Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum (Apicomplexa) and the risk factors associated with seropositivity in the dog population of Ibiúna, São Paulo, Brazil. A total of 570 animals were examined in the 48 neighborhoods of the city from September 2007 to March 2008. Serological diagnosis of T. gondii and N. caninum infections was performed using indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), with endpoint titers of 1:64 for T. gondii and 1:50 for N.… Show more

“…Ribeiro et al (2019) showed that cattle from farms with dogs were 1.84 times more susceptible to infection by N. caninum than those from farms without dogs. In our study, the occurrence of 14% antibodies anti-N. caninum detected in the dogs was higher than that detected by Mascolli et al (2015) (7%) and Martins et al (2012) (6.1%).…”

“…The determination of anti-N. caninum IgG antibody titers was performed using the indirect immunofluorescence (IFI) technique according to Conrad et al (1993). The slides for antibody detection were prepared with N. caninum tachyzoites (strain NC-1), and samples with titers ≥ 100 were considered positive for bovines (CARDOSO et al, 2012;KATTO et al, 2017), while titers ≥ 50 were considered positive for dogs (MASCOLLI et al, 2015). Positive and negative controls were used at each slide.…”

“…Já Azevedo et al (2005) em Campina Grande/PB, Langoni et al (2006) e Mascolli et al (2015 no interior de São Paulo obtiveram prevalências maiores com 45,1% (129/286), 33,1% (258/780) e 55,1% (314/570) respectivamente. A literatura mostra que taxas de soroprevalência de T. gondii podem apresentar variações consideráveis, já que a transmissão está associada à características geo-climáticas regionais e fatores epidemiológicos, como o número de felinos infectados na área estudada, manejo dos animais, hábitos e comportamentos culturais, condições sócio-econômicas e práticas sanitárias na comunidade, além dos aspectos intrínsecos do parasita como a variabilidade genética , Mascolli et al 2015.…”

“…O hábito de alimentação de sobras para animais de estimação é bem estabelecido entre os donos de cães no Brasil e este tipo de comportamento favorece a propagação da infecção por T. gondii . Resultados semelhantes que também suportam esta associação foram relatados por Moura et al (2009 e Mascolli et al (2015). Dentre os cinco centros urbanos estudados, o município de Cajazeiras foi o que apresentou maior taxa de positividade para toxoplasmose com 60% (IC 95%: 51,4; 68,6) (Quadro 1), o que possivelmente se refere ao fato de que dos 125 animais amostrados 78,4% se alimentavam de comida caseira ou de forma mista.…”
