Dorneles, Elaine Maria Seles; Guimarães, Alessandro Sá; Gouveia, Aurora Maria Gumarães; Coura, Fernanda Morcatti; Carmo, Filipe BorgesThe present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of antibodies against Brucella ovis-epididymitis, smooth-Brucella, leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis and Maedi-visna in sheep slaughtered in Minas Gerais, Brazil and to study their simultaneous occurrence, including caseous lymphadenitis, at sheep and flock levels. The study was conducted at a sheep slaughterhouse with Federal Inspection Service. Sera from 594 anima...
Seroprevalence and risk factors for human toxoplasmosis in northeastern Brazil.
Aloise, Débora de Almeida; Vital, Wendel Coura; Carneiro, Mariângela; Rodrigues, Marlus Venâncio; Toscano, Gislani Acásia da SilvaToxoplasmosis is one of the most prevalent parasitic infections in humans, causing severe clinical complications in immunocompromised patients or in foetuses. Estimates on the toxoplasmosis seroprevalence in human populations vary widely, even within the same region. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in the municipality of Santa Cruz, State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil...
A avidez de anticorpos específicos anti-toxoplasma da classe IgG e sua utilizaç...
Bahia, Maria Terezinha; Vitor, Ricardo Wagner Almeida; Caldas, Rogério Pinheiro; Antunes, Carlos Maurício Figueiredo; Chiari, Cléa de AndradeFor serological characterization of recent Toxoplasma infection in goats low avidity IgG specific antibodies were studied. Avidity was evaluated as the decrease of absorbance in ELISA test after treating plates with 3, 6 and 9M urea, as a dissociating solution of low avidity antigen-antibody complexes. A concentration of 9M urea best discriminated between recent and old infections in goats experimentally infect...
