| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in dogs of riverside communities of mato grosso pantanal, brazil. | toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan with worldwide distribution and dogs act as sentinels of human infection. this search aimed to determine the occurrence of antibodies against t. gondii in dogs of the communities on the cuiabá river, mato grosso and variables associated with infection. the dogs of the riverside communities in cuiabá river, which includes barranco alto, praia do poço, engenho velho, varginha, bom sucesso, passagem da conceição and são gonçalo beira rio, were evaluat ... | 2016 | 27925062 |
| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in swine matrices in nova mutum and diamantino, mato grosso, brazil. | this report aimed to assess the seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in 708 swine matrices in nova mutum and diamantino in the state of mato grosso, central-west brazil. serum samples were examined by indirect fluorescent antibody test (ifat). it was found a seroprevalence of 12.8%, considering titers ≥ 64. therefore, the data reinforce the need for appropriate management of swine raising to minimize the risk of infection of pigs with t. gondii. | 2010 | 21184704 |
| [serological survey of toxoplasma gondii infection in isolated amerindians, mato grosso]. | this study determined the occurrence of the antibodies anti-toxoplasma gondii among the enawenê-nawê, an indigenous population of mato grosso. these inhabit a vast wild area, with rare contacts with non-indians. they do not keep domestic animals, including cats. their diet is based on insects, cassava, corn, honey and mushrooms, they do not consume meat, except fish. based on the above, serologic tests elisa-igg and indirect fluorescent antibody test for igg/igm were performed. from 148 samples, ... | 2003 | 15049105 |
