Risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii infection in sheep in the northeastern region of Brazil

Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii e um parasita cuja infecção leva a desordens reprodutivas como aborto, mumificação fetal, nascimento de cordeiros fracos e natimortos, provocando perdas econômicas na produção ovina. A região nordeste do Brasil possui aproximadamente 171 milhões de pequenos ruminantes, dos quais 5,4% são ovinos. Este estudo tem como objetivo determinar a ocorrência de T. gondii nos rebanhos ovinos de 60 propriedades de 19 municípios de três mesorregiões (leste, semiárido e sertão) do estado de Sergipe, Brasil… Show more

“…These animals can act as reservoirs of zoonotic infectious agents. The existence of dogs and cats in farms in Sergipe has already been determined as a significant factor associated with infection by Toxoplasma gondii (RIZZO et al, 2017a) and Neospora caninum (RIZZO et al, 2017c) in the sheep flocks in the State. Inadequate sanitary measures can lead to the access of dogs and cats to the viscera, placenta remains, and miscarriage products from infected animals, favoring, through contamination of water and food sources, the spread of two agents in the herd, the oocysts Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum.…”
