Seropositivity of Anti- and Anti- Antibodies in Cattle Intended for Human Consumption in an Amazonian Area of North Brazil.

and are obligate intracellular intestinal coccidia distributed worldwide, and are causative agents of toxoplasmosis and neosporosis, respectively. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of anti- and anti- antibodies and the factors associated with infections in beef cattle intended for human consumption in an Amazonian area of North Brazil. We collected blood samples of 387 cattle from 50 herds located in different municipalities of the State of Rondônia.

Anti- and Anti- Antibodies in Urban Traction Equids in Northeast Brazil: Seroprevalence and Risk Factors.

The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of anti- and anti- antibodies in equids that carry out traction work in Northeastern Brazil, and to establish the potential risk factors associated with seropositivity for these agents. Blood samples were collected from 322 traction equids (horses, donkeys and mules) in urban areas of 16 municipalities in the State of Paraíba, Brazil. The samples were sent for serological diagnosis using the Immunofluorescence Antibody Test (IFAT).
