To provide information about seroprevalence and risk factors of Neospora caninum infection in bovines of central Chile. Materials and methods. The study population are small dairy farms that are part of a Government Technical Support Service (SAT) in the O´Higgins region in central Chile. Sera samples were collected from milking cows and analyzed by a commercial ELISA kit. Additionally, a questionnaire was applied to farmers to identify risk factors through logistic regression. Results. The farm level prevalence was found to be 67%, and within farms seroprevalence 55%. Abortion history (p= 0.037, OR=5.09), dogs feed source (p= 0.0429, OR=6), cattle drinking water source (p=0.034, OR=4.5) and abortions management (p=0.017, OR=7.43) were found as significant risk factors for infection. Conclusions. There is a high N. caninum seroprevalence in small SAT´s dairy farms in O´Higgins region. These results highlight the need of improving N. caninum surveillance, and the development of preventive measures to avoid losses related with this disease. 2017 artículo científico 0122-0268 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=69353271007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/693/69353271007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/693/69353271007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/693/69353271007/69353271007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/693/69353271007/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=693 Revista MVZ Córdoba application/pdf Universidad de Córdoba Revista MVZ Córdoba (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.22 |
