In total, 1657 serum samples were collected and assayed by the modified agglutination test. The overall seroprevalence was 4.83% at a 1:100 cut-off, with titers of 1:100 in 72, 1:200 in 4, 1:400 in 4. Among the risk factors examined, no statistically significant difference was observed between T. gondii seroprevalence and regions or age of dairy cattle in the logistic regression analysis (P&gt;0.05) and left out of the final model. However, numbers of pregnancies of dairy cattle was considered as main risk factor associated with T. gondii infection. Dairy cattle in nulliparity group (8.89%) had 6 times (OR=6.31, 95% CI, 2.69-14.83, P&lt;0.001) higher risk of being seropositive compared to dairy cattle in 3 or above 3 pregnancies group (1.52%), followed by 1 pregnancy group (4.27%) had nearly 3 times (OR=2.89, 95% CI, 1.11-7.52, P = 0.03) higher risk of being seropositive compared to dairy cattle in 3 or above 3 pregnancies group, although no statistical difference was found between 2 pregnancies group and 3 or above 3 pregnancies group (P = 0.70). The results of this survey indicated the presence of T. gondii infection in dairy cattle in Gansu Province and NXHAR, which enriches the epidemiological data of T. gondii infection in dairy cattle in China, and is helpful to strengthen prevention and control of T. gondii infection in dairy cattle in these two regions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ap-2015-0087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,25]],"date-time":"2015-09-25T08:59:12Z","timestamp":1443171552000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Seroprevalence and correlates of Toxoplasma gondii infection in dairy cattle in northwest China"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Qi-Dong","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Yu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ming-Yang","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ling-Ying","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Si-Yuan","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin-Lei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dong-Hui","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xing-Quan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","reference":[{"key":"ref01","first-page":"7","article-title":"Seroprevalence and genetic characterization of Toxoplasma gondii in three species of pet birds in China and Vectors","author":"Cong","year":"2014","journal-title":"Parasites"},{"key":"ref81","first-page":"9","article-title":"Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in beef cattle and dairy cattle in northeast China Pathogens and Disease","author":"Qiu","year":"2012","journal-title":"Foodborne"},{"key":"ref61","first-page":"55","article-title":"Foodborne toxoplasmosis","author":"Jones","year":"2012","journal-title":"Clinical Infectious Diseases"},{"key":"ref71","first-page":"193","article-title":"Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in cattle sheep goats and pigs from the North of Portugal for human consumption","author":"Lopes","year":"2013","journal-title":"Veterinary parasitology"},{"key":"ref31","first-page":"139","article-title":"Toxoplasmosis in humans and animals in Brazil high prevalence high burden of disease and epidemilology","author":"Dubey","year":"2012","journal-title":"Parasitology"},{"key":"ref101","first-page":"5","article-title":"Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in dairy cattle in southern China and Vectors","author":"Zhou","year":"2012","journal-title":"Parasites"},{"key":"ref21","first-page":"38","article-title":"Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans and animals in the United States for Parasitology","author":"Dubey","year":"2008","journal-title":"International Journal"},{"key":"ref11","first-page":"141","article-title":"Toxoplasmosis of animals and humans nd CRC Press Epidemiological review of toxoplasmosis in humans and animals in Romania","author":"Dubey","year":"2010","journal-title":"Edn USA Parasitology"},{"key":"ref41","first-page":"56","article-title":"Sensitivity and specificity of various serologic tests for detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection in naturally infected sows of","author":"Dubey","year":"1995","journal-title":"American Journal Veterinary Research"},{"key":"ref51","first-page":"140","article-title":"review of toxoplasmosis in humans and animals in Ethiopia and Infection","author":"Dubey","year":"2012","journal-title":"Epidemiology"},{"key":"ref91","first-page":"112","article-title":"Genetic characterization of Toxoplasma gondii in wildlife from Alabama USA","author":"Yu","year":"2013","journal-title":"Parasitology Research"}],"container-title":["Acta Parasitologica"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/view\/j\/ap.2015.60.issue-4\/ap-2015-0087\/ap-2015-0087.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,14]],"date-time":"2020-12-14T16:40:14Z","timestamp":1607964014000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/doi\/10.1515\/ap-2015-0087"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,1]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1515\/ap-2015-0087","relation":{},"ISSN":["1896-1851","1230-2821"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1896-1851","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1230-2821","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,1]]}}}
