Between February and December 2010, 795 sheep from 31 farms located in nine municipalities were tested. We found seroprevalence of 30.2% (240\/795), with titers of 64 (38.3%), 256 (34.2%), 1,024 (18.3%), and 4,096 (9.2%) by Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test (IFAT). Seropositive sheep were detected in all farms sampled. Univariate statistical analysis detected association between T. gondii seropositivity and the variables age, use of fresh food mainly, water source, stocking rate, production system, presence and number of cats on the farm, and transit of cats (p &lt; 0.05). In the logistic regression model, transit of cats (p = 0.001), production system (p = 0.007), and age (p = 0.027) were identified as risk factors associated with T. gondiiinfection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612013000200041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,27]],"date-time":"2014-02-27T16:05:53Z","timestamp":1393517153000},"page":"220-224","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Prevalence and risk factors associated with anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in sheep from Bahia state, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Luciana Afonso","family":"Guimar\u00e3es","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz - UESC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo Alves","family":"Bezerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz - UESC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniele de Santana","family":"Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz - UESC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George R\u00eago","family":"Albuquerque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz - UESC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","article-title":"Minist\u00e9rio da Agricultura, Pecu\u00e1ria e Abastecimento. <em>Censo Agropecu\u00e1rio<\/em>.
