The prevalence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies was investigated in goats slaughtered in the public slaughterhouse of Patos, State of Paraíba, Northeast region of Brazil, and possible associations between sex of the animals and antibody prevalence were verified. Three-hundred six blood samples from goats collected before slaughter by jugular venopuncture were used. For the serologic diagnosis of T. gondii and N. caninum, the indirect fluorescent-antibody test (IFAT) with cut-off values 64 and 50, respectively, was carried out. The prevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies was 24.5% [95% CI=19.8-29.7%] with titers ranging from 64 to 4096, and anti-N. caninum antibodies was 3.3% (95% CI=1.6-5.9%) with titers ranging from 50 to 400. There were no associations between sex of animals and prevalence of anti-T. gondii and anti-N. caninum antibodies.
对在巴西东北部帕拉伊巴州帕托斯市公共屠宰场宰杀的山羊进行了抗刚地弓形虫和抗犬新孢子虫抗体的流行情况调查，并验证了动物性别与抗体流行率之间的可能关联。使用了306份在屠宰前通过颈静脉穿刺采集的山羊血样。对于弓形虫和犬新孢子虫的血清学诊断，分别采用间接荧光抗体试验（IFAT），截断值分别为64和50。抗弓形虫抗体的流行率为24.5%[95%置信区间=19.8-29.7%]，滴度范围为64至4096，抗犬新孢子虫抗体的流行率为3.3%（95%置信区间=1.6-5.9%），滴度范围为50至400。动物性别与抗弓形虫和抗犬新孢子虫抗体的流行率之间没有关联。
