Resumo: The aim of this survey was to determine the occurrence of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum and to determine the risk factors associated with seropositivity in domiciled dogs in the county of Patos, Paraíba state, Northeastern Brazil. One hundred seventy-three blood samples were collected from dogs attended at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Campina Grande (HV/UFCG), Campus of Patos, Paraíba, during February to October 2011. For the serological diagnosis of T. gondii and N. caninum infection the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was used adopting as cut-off points the dilutions 1:64 (T. gondii) and 1:50 (N. caninum). Of the 173 dogs used 27 (15.6%) were seropositive for T. gondii, and 13 (7.5%) for N. caninum. Variables age from 13 to 48 months (OR = 3.90), age > 48 months (OR= 5.14) and mixed-breed dogs (OR = 3.12) were identified as risk factors associated with T. gondii seropositivity, and for N. caninum the variable access of the dogs to ponds (OR = 5.67) was identified as risk factor. T. gondii and N. caninum infections, detected by IFAT, are present in domiciled dogs in the county of Patos, PB, as well as based on the risk factor analysis it is recommended to avoid the access of dogs to ponds.

Foram colhidas amostras de sangue de 173 cães atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (HV/UFCG), Campus de Patos, Paraíba, no período de fevereiro a outubro de 2011. Para o diagnóstico sorológico das infecções por T. gondii e N. caninum foi utilizada a reação de imunofluorescência indireta (RIFI), adotando-se como pontos de corte as diluições 1:64 (T. gondii) e 1:50 (N. caninum). Dos 173 cães utilizados, 27 (15,6%) foram soropositivos para T. gondii, e 13 (7,5%) para N. caninum. As variáveis idade de 13 a 48 meses (OR = 3,90), idade > 48 meses (OR= 5,14) e cães sem raça definida (OR = 3,12) foram identificadas como fatores de risco associados à soropositividade para T. gondii, e para N. caninum, a variável acesso dos cães a açudes (OR = 5,67) foi identificada como fator de risco. As infecções por T. gondii e N. caninum, detectadas pela RIFI, estão presentes em cães domiciliados no município de Patos, PB, bem como se recomenda, com base na análise de fatores de risco, evitar o acesso dos animais a açudes.UEL2014-04-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/1443410.5433/1679-0359.2014v35n2p875Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 35 No. 2 (2014); 875-882Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 35 n. 2 (2014); 875-8821679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
