Resumo: The aims of the present study were (i) to determine the occurrence and (ii) to evaluate possible factors associated with infection by Brucella abortus in free-ranging equids from Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Sera from 227 free-ranging equids (178 donkeys, 43 horses and 6 mules), captured by the highway police and the prefecture agents, were screened by the rose bengal test (RBT) and confirmed for B. abortus-antibodies by the standard tube agglutination (STAT) and the 2-mercaptoethanol (2ME) tests. Of the 227 equids tested, four (1.76%) were positive for B. abortus antibodies. All were horses, which resulted in an observed frequency of infection for this species of 9.30% (4/43). No association was found among seropositivity for B. abortus and the age and sex. Thus, data from the present study showed that infection by B. abortus is present among horses in Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

Soros de 227 equídeos (178 asininos, 43 equinos e 6 muares), capturados pela polícia rodoviária e funcionários da prefeitura, foram coletados por punção venosa. A pesquisa de anticorpos anti-Brucella abortus foi realizada empregando-se, como triagem, o teste do antígeno acidificado tamponado (AAT) e como confirmatório o teste de redução pelo 2-Mercaptoetanol (2ME). Dos animais testados, quatro (1,76%) foram positivos para anticorpos anti- B. abortus. Todos os positivos eram equinos (9,30%, 4/43). A análise das variáveis levantadas (sexo e idade) como possíveis fatores associados à infecção por B. abortus não revelou a existência de associação entre estas e a soropositividade. Assim, o presente estudo permite concluir que a infecção por B. abortus está presente em equinos do município de Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2018-02-23T13:17:28Z2018-02-23T13:17:28Z2013-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfDORNELES, E.
