Resumo: Toxoplasmosis is one of the most prevalent parasitic infections of man and livestock, and its transmission has usually been attributed to ingestion of undercooked or raw meat from infected livestock, with the infection rate in those animals being an important risk predictor of human disease, high in Brazil and São Paulo State. Looking for this public health problem, we tested serum samples from cattle, goat, sheep and chicken from the State of São Paulo, Brazil, for IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii were found in 31.00% (62/200) of sheep, 17.00% (34/200) of goat and 11.00% (22/200) of cattle, without positive sample in chicken. Despite differences in feeding habits of each species, the rate of infection of tested animals could be better attributed to livestock management methods, which improvement could reduce infection.

Estudando este aspecto de Saúde Pública, nós testamos amostras séricas de bovinos, caprinos, ovinos e frangos de corte de matadouros do Estado de São Paulo, para a presença de anticorpos IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii por um ensaio imunoenzimático de fase sólida (ELISA). Nós encontramos anticorpos específicos em 31,00% (62/200) dos ovinos, 17,00% (34/200) dos caprinos e 11,00% (22/200) dos bovinos testados, sem positividade em 185 amostras de frangos de corte. Apesar de diferenças em hábitos alimentares de cada espécie, estas taxas de infecção foram menores em criações intensivas, relacionadas ao tipo de manejo da criação, o que pode reduzir a taxa de infecção por este parasita no rebanho.Universidade de São Paulo.
