Resumo: The present study aimed to assess anti-T. gondii antibodies in sheltered and free-roaming cats within a university campus that has an overlapping population of humans and livestock. A total of 51 cats were tested for anti-T. gondii antibodies using the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test. Overall, 8/51 cats (15.7%) were seropositive. Cats were more likely to be seropositive when free-roaming (p= 0.008) and with presence of skin lesions (p= 0.042), and less likely with < 1 year of age (p= 0.021), probably due to higher environmental exposure and infected prey consumption. The presence of seropositive free-roaming cats whose areas overlapped those occupied by humans and livestock may suggest an increased on-campus chance of T. gondii occurrence.

Um total de 51 gatos foram testados para anticorpos anti- T. gondii usando o teste de imunofluorescência indireta. No geral, 8/51 (15.7%) gatos foram soropositivos. Os gatos foram mais propensos a ser soropositivos quando em vida livre (p = 0,008) e com lesões de pele (p = 0.042), e menos prováveis com menos de 1 ano de idade (p = 0,021), provavelmente devido à maior exposição ambiental e consumo de presas infectadas. A presença de gatos errantes soropositivos cujas áreas se sobrepõem àquelas ocupadas por seres humanos e animais pode sugerir um risco aumentado de ocorrência de T. gondii no campus.UEL2021-04-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/4105010.5433/1679-0359.2021v42n3Supl1p1685Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 42 No. 3Supl1 (2021); 1685-1694Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 42 n. 3Supl1 (2021); 1685-16941679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
