The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and diversity of endoparasitic fauna and the risk factors associated with parasite infections in free-range chickens in the state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. Ten municipalities were visited and, in each of them, ten farms, to collect animal feces and apply epidemiological questionnaires. Feces from 417 poultry were used to perform EPG (eggs per gram) and OoPG (oocysts per gram) tests.

Article Synopsis
- * Factors such as the municipalities of Patos and Sousa were identified as having a higher risk for T. gondii infection in goats, which suggests environmental or management influences on infection rates.
- * Bioassays from tissue samples showed a 50% isolation rate of protozoan strains from seropositive goats, but the isolated strains demonstrated low virulence, raising concerns about public health risks associated with consuming infected goats.
