摘要
Serum samples of 600 slaughtered cattle from Ilheus and Itabuna Municipal slaughterhouse and Jequie Federal slaughterhouse, A of them located in the State of Bahia were screened using an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test against Toxoplasma gondii. Prevalence was 11.83% (71), and positive samples were distributed as 19.3% (37) from Ilheus, 9.8% (21) from Itabuna and 6.8% (13) from Jequie slaughterhouses respectively. From positive cattle, 91.5% (65) had titles 1:64, and 8.5% (6) had title 1:256. The majority of serum positive samples against T gondii were related to animals from dairy farms which were slaughtered at municipality stockyards under municipal inspection in comparison with those slaughtered at Federal inspection which were related to beef cattle that were raised in farms extensively.
