Indirect immunofluorescent antibody test was used to detect antibodies anti-T.gondii and anti-N. caninum. Immunoenzymatic assay and microscopic serum agglutination were used for screening antibodies anti-T.gondii and anti-Leptospira spp., respectively. The results were: 67.02% of the samples reactive for T.gondii and 1.38% for N. caninum, both without statistically significant variables. For Leptospira spp. the results indicated seroprevalence of 23.11%. The analysis of the variables without distinction of serovar showed association for intrinsic characteristics as breed, age, nutritional status and dog category. The extrinsic variables as city region and access to the street presented association (p&lt;0.05). The most prevalent serovars were: Canicola 59.47%; Bratislava 13.07% and Butembo 15.68%. Variables that make up the adjusted multiple analysis model using Leptospira spp. were: age, breed and nutritional status; serovar Canicola, sex, nutritional status and area (p&lt;0.05); serovar Bratislava, lymphadenomegaly and presence of fleas (p&lt;0.05). Given the results obtained, dogs can be used as sentinels for toxoplasmosis and leptospirosis in Foz do Igua\u00e7u and other cities with similar outcomes. In addition, preventive measures should be taken by health authorities because they are zoonoses and humans are also at risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612019043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,31]],"date-time":"2019-07-31T15:44:04Z","timestamp":1564587844000},"page":"383-394","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Epidemiological relevance of dogs for the prevention of Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum and Leptospira spp."],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0554-0252","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernanda","family":"Pinto-Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Londrina,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aline Kuhn Sbruzzi","family":"Pasquali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Paran\u00e1,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vanete","family":"Thomaz-Soccol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Paran\u00e1,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Regina","family":"Mitsuka-Bregan\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Londrina,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eloiza Teles","family":"Caldart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Londrina,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9 de Souza","family":"Leandro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prefeitura de Foz do Igua\u00e7u,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luciana","family":"Chiyo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prefeitura de Foz do Igua\u00e7u,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eliane Maria","family":"Pozzolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"9\u00b0 Regional de Sa\u00fade,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patr\u00edcia","family":"Cubas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prefeitura de Foz do Igua\u00e7u,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucienne Garcia Pretto","family":"Giordano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Londrina,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ricardo Rasmussen","family":"Petterle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Paran\u00e1,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Italmar Teodorico","family":"Navarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Londrina,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"ref1","first-page":"70","article-title":"Risk factors associated with anti-Leptospira spp. antibodies occurence in dogs from Monte Negro County, Rond\u00f4nia, Brazilian Western Amazon","volume":"59","author":"Aguiar DM","year":"2007","journal-title":"Arq Bras Med Vet Zootec"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"3201","article-title":"Seroepidemiology of leptospirosis in pet dogs in the urban area of the municipality of Jataizinho, Paran\u00e1","volume":"33","author":"Benitez NA","year":"2012","journal-title":"Semina: Ci\u00eanc Agr\u00e1r"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref3","first-page":"253","article-title":"Zoonosis in dogs and cats attended by the Birth Control Project: Toxoplasma gondii, Leishmania spp. and Leptospira spp., serodiagnosis and epidemiology","volume":"36","author":"Caldart ET","year":"2015","journal-title":"Semina: Ci\u00eanc Agr\u00e1r"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"117","article-title":"Improved technique of indirect immunofluorescence for serological diagnosis of toxoplasmosis","volume":"6","author":"Camargo ME","year":"1964","journal-title":"Rev Inst Med Trop S\u00e3o Paulo"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Integrated pest management and pest control -
