[Epidemiological analysis of Toxoplasma gondii infection in goats in Pernambuco, Brasil.] Análise epidemiológica da infecção por Toxoplasma gondii em caprinos no estado de Pernambuco, Brasil.

E-mail: wiltonjrufrpe@gmail.com The aim of the present study was to assess epidemiological aspects of Toxoplasma gondii infection among goats in the Agreste and Sertão regions of the state of Pernambuco in Brazil. In total, 348 serum samples were analyzed by the Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) technique to detect IgG anti-T. gondii, considering a dilution of 1:64 as the cut-off point. Investigative questionnaires were used to analyze risk factors through objective questions, answered by the breeder, about the productive, reproductive and sanitary management characteristics of the property. Multivariate and univariate analysis were carried out, based on a logistical regression model, considering the serological status of the animal as the dependent variable (positive or negative) and the spatial distribution of foci. Of the 348 goat serum samples analyzed, 90 (25.86% C.I. 21.41% – 30.86%) were positive, with nine foci (60.00%). Of the ninety-positive samples, 21 (23.34%) exhibited titers of 64; 15 (16.67%) titers of 128; 17 (18.89%) titers of 256; 23 (25.55%) titers of 512 and 14 samples (15.55%) titers of 1024. In the analysis of the logistical regression, semi-intensive management was confirmed as a risk factor (OR 9.96; C.I. 2.30 - 43.14). In conclusion, there is an elevated number of foci of the infection in the region studied, which indicates the need to design animal health planning projects, to implement control and prophylactic measures, and to make the producers aware of animal health requirements and the risk that this infection can generate for the health of the general public.

Foram analisadas 348 amostras de soro, pela técnica de Reação de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI) para detecção de IgG anti-T. gondii, considerando-se a diluição de 1:64 como ponto de corte. Para análise dos fatores de risco foram aplicados questionários investigativos, com perguntas objetivas ao criador, referentes às características do manejo produtivo, reprodutivo e sanitário. Posteriormente foi realizada análise univariada e multivarida, pelo modelo de regressão logística considerando como variável dependente o status sorológico do animal (positivo ou negativo) e distribuição espacial dos focos. Das 348 amostras de soro caprino analisadas, 90 (25,86% I.C. 21,41% – 30,86%) foram positivas, com nove focos (60,00%). Das noventa amostras positivas, 21 (23,34%) apresentaram títulos de 64; 15 (16,67%) títulos de 128; 17 (18,89%) títulos de 256; 23 (25,55%) títulos de 512 e 14 (15,55%) títulos de 1024. Na análise de regressão logística confirmou-se como fator de risco o manejo semi-intensivo (OR 9,96; I.C. 2,30 - 43,14). Concluise neste estudo que há um elevado número de focos da infecção, o que indica a real necessidade da elaboração de planejamento em saúde animal, com implementação de medidas de controle e profilaxia, bem como a conscientização dos produtores quanto à saúde animal e riscos que esta infecção pode ocasionar para saúde pública.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2016-03-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpeer reviewedAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/24210.2430/00000000000000Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 38 No. 1 (2016); 13-18Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 38 n. 1 (2016); 13-182527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVporhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/242/163Lúcio, Érica ChavesClemente, Saruanna Millena dos SantosPimentel, Juliana de Limade Oliveira, Júnior Mário BaltazarJúnior, José Lopes da Silvade Albuquerque, Pedro Paulo FeitosaMota, Rinaldo AparecidoJunior, José Wilton Pinheiroinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-12-23T17:26:24Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/242Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2020-12-23T17:26:24Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false
