A total of 368 individuals (246 rodents, 104 marsupials and 18 bats) were captured using live catch traps. Serum samples were tested using the modified agglutination test, with a cut-off point at 1:25 dilution. The total occurrence of antibodies to T. gondii was 10.6% (39\/368), being 16.3% (17\/104) in marsupials, 8.5% (21\/246) in rodents, and 5.5% (1\/18) in bats. Antibody titers varied between 25 and 50 for rodents, between 25 and 400 for marsupials, and were 25 for bats. This is the first report on antibodies to T. gondii in certain rodent species (Thaptomys nigrita, Hylaeamys laticeps, and Cerradomys subflavus), marsupial species (Monodelphis americana, Gracilinanus microtarsus, Gracilinanus agilis and Marmosops incanus), and bats of the genus Rhynchonycteris. The presence of antibodies to T. gondii in wild mammals demonstrates the possibility of these animals as sentinels of toxoplasmosis, especially on regions under high anthropogenic effect.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612020083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,21]],"date-time":"2020-10-21T19:09:17Z","timestamp":1603307357000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Survey of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in wild mammals captured from Atlantic Forest fragments in Bahia, northeastern Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Pedro de Alc\u00e2ntara","family":"Brito Junior","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Josiane Moreira","family":"Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline Ara\u00fajo da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priscylla Marcelly Vilanova","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joelande Esquivel","family":"Correia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luciara Alves da","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5203-012X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anai\u00e1 da Paix\u00e3o","family":"Sev\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Brasil; Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0592-7935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T\u00e9o Veiga de","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3842-2279","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aristeu Vieira da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6908-8547","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mart\u00edn Roberto del Valle","family":"Alvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0556-8856","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"George R\u00eago","family":"Albuquerque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"116","DOI":"10.1590\/S1984-29612016002","article-title":"Anti-Toxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies in capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) from Itu Municipality, S\u00e3o Paulo","volume":"25","author":"Abreu JAP","year":"2016","journal-title":"Rev Bras Parasitol Vet"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Evid\u00eancia de sinurbiza\u00e7\u00e3o do sarigu\u00ea (Didelphis) no ecossistema urbano de Feira de Santana (BA): Ocorr\u00eancia e intera\u00e7\u00e3o com os seres humanos","author":"Abreu MC","year":"2013"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref3","first-page":"862","article-title":"Comida, rem\u00e9dio, renda: conhecimentos e usos da mucura (Didelphis marsupialis) por comunidades ribeirinhas da v\u00e1rzea amaz\u00f4nica.
