| detection of antibodies to toxoplasma gondii in wild animals in brazil. | toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite, toxoplasma gondii, that affects all warm-blooded animals, including wild animals. the increased number of cases of parasitic infections is mainly due to the destruction of environmental conservation areas, which is driving wild animals out of their habitats and towards urban areas. in this study, the occurrence of t. gondii infection was investigated by the modified agglutination test (mat) in 26 differ ... | 2014 | 25278979 |
| sero-epidemiological survey for brucellosis, leptospirosis, and toxoplasmosis in free-ranging alouatta caraya and callithrix penicillata from são paulo state, brazil. | sera were tested for brucella spp., leptospira spp. and toxoplasma gondii antibodies in 68 free-ranging new world monkeys from a forest fragment of the brazilian cerrado. | 2014 | 24646216 |
| sero-epidemiological survey for toxoplasmosis in wild new world monkeys (cebus spp.; alouatta caraya) at the paraná river basin, paraná state, brazil. | in this study, we captured 60 wild new world monkeys (cebus spp.; alouatta caraya) at the paraná river basin, paraná state, brazil, and modified agglutination test (mat) was performed to evaluate anti-toxoplasma gondii antibodies. prevalence was 30.2% (13/43) in cebus spp. (capuchin monkeys) and 17.6% (3/17) for a. caraya (black and golden howler monkeys). mat showed antibody titers of 16 (15/16) and 64 (1/16). herein, we have observed an odds ratio (or)=4.67 (1.06<or<21.42, p<0.01) among monkey ... | 2005 | 16006040 |
