Abstract | The Triângulo Mineiro region from Minas Gerais state, is an important meat-exporting
region of Brazil and data about Toxoplasma gondii infection in pigs raised and slaughtered
in this area are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of T.
gondii in swine and establish the risk factors associated with the infection. Samples were
collected from 600 pigs raised under intensive system in farms located at three different
counties (Carmo do Paranaíba, Patrocínio and Perdizes). The samples were submitted to indirect
hemagglutination antibody test with dilution of 1:32 and to indirect immunofluorescence
antibody test with a cutoff of 1:64. The occurrence of positive pig was 3.3% (n=20) and
51.8% (n=311) respectively. A significant difference was observed between toxoplasmatic
infection and factors such as lineage, animal origin, size of the farm, collective raising with
others species, presence of rodents and type of water offered (p≤0.05). There was no difference
between gender and the farm goals. The results demonstrated an occurrence of anti-T.
gondii antibodies higher than expected for intensive pig raising system on the studied area,
which could indicate a possible sanitary management problem on the studied proprieties.
Improvements on the raising techniques are necessary to reduce T. gondii infection sources. | pt_BR |
