Two hundred twenty-nine samples from goats and two hundred five from sheep were analyzed by Indirect Immunofluorescence Reaction (IFAT) using a cutoff point of 1:50. The presence of anti-N. caninum antibodies was identified in 28.4% (65\/ 229; 95% Confidence Interval: 22.6-34.2) of the goat samples and in 12.7% (26\/ 205; 95% CI: 8.2 \u2013 17.2) of the sheep samples. Contact between goats and dogs (Odds ratio 4.81; CI 1.13 \u2013 2.67; p = 0.041) and cattle (OR. 1.87; CI 1.13 \u2013 2.67; p = 0.002) was identified as a risk factor for goats and contact between sheep and dogs (OR 2.32; CI 1.58 \u2013 3.14; p = 0.026) and history of abortion (OR 1.94; CI 1.28 \u2013 2.90; p = 0.001) was considered a risk factor for sheep. The study revealed a high seroprevalence of anti-N. caninum antibodies in slaughtered goats and sheep in Para\u00edba. Risk factors such as contact with dogs\/cattle and abortion history underscore the need for preventive measures to control infection and enhance animal health management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612023068","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,27]],"date-time":"2023-11-27T11:40:46Z","timestamp":1701085246000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Seroprevalence
