Abstract

A cross-sectional survey was performed in 54 family farm units (FU) and 5 dairy commercial farm (CF) from different regions of Jujuy and Salta provinces, with the aim of studying the association between the seroprevalence against Toxoplama gondii antibodies in goats flocks and risk factors related to the farm units and the goats management. Sera were processed by the indirect fluorescent antibody test IFAT (n = 629) and indirect ELISA (n = 619) techniques. The Chi-square, Odds Ratio (OR) and logistic regression were used for the statistical analysis of the variables. Of the 59 visited flocks, 67.8% of them had at least one seropositive goat, showing differences between FU (66.7%) and CF (80%). The general prevalence was 18.2% (95 % CI: 15.9-20.6%). The risk factors significantly associated to T. gondii prevalence greater than 20% of the sampled goats would be a percentage of cats greater than 1.1% in relation to the total number of mating goats (OR 5.26; 95% CI: 1.62-17.1) and the milking practice (OR 13.03; 95% CI: 2.1980.3). The present results show that infestations by T. gondii in the goat flocks of Salta and Jujuy are important and deserves further studies.

弓形虫病:阿根廷西北部地区山羊的血清流行率和危险因素

对Jujuy省和Salta省不同地区的54个家庭农场单位（FU）和5个奶牛商业农场（CF）进行了横断面调查，目的是研究山羊群中弓形虫抗体的血清流行率与农场单位和山羊管理相关的风险因素之间的关系。采用间接荧光抗体试验IFAT（n=629）和间接ELISA（n=619）技术对血清进行处理。采用卡方、比值比（OR）和逻辑回归对变量进行统计分析。在59只到访的羊群中，67.8%的羊群至少有一只血清阳性，FU（66.7%）和CF（80%）之间存在差异。总体患病率为18.2%（95%可信区间：15.9-20.6%）。与弓形虫患病率高于20%的样本山羊显著相关的风险因素是猫的比例高于1.1%，与交配山羊的总数（OR 5.26；95%可信区间1.62-17.1）和挤奶实践（OR 13.03；95%置信区间2.1980.3）有关Salta和Jujuy的山羊群是重要的，值得进一步研究。
