Blood samples were collected from 240 clinically healthy cows from intensive management and small-scale dairies distributed in 5 municipalities from Aguascalientes State, Mexico. Serum samples were processed by indirect immunofluorescence taking the 1:64 dilution as the cutoff point. The association between seroprevalence and possible risk factors was estimated. The general seroprevalence was 43% (103\/240). In the group of intensive management dairies, seroprevalence was 40% (48\/120), and in the group of small-scale dairies seroprevalence was 46% (55\/120); these values were not significantly different. In all municipalities and dairies, seropositive animals were identified. Among the municipalities, the seroprevalence was 29\u201365%, and among dairies seroprevalence was 20\u201380%. Coexistence with other animals (odds ratio = 1.8) and not having a rodent control program (odds ratio = 2.1) were identified as risk factors. The identified seroprevalence is considered important regardless of the management system and suggests a high exposure to the parasite.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1645\/24-99","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T02:43:21Z","timestamp":1745376201000},"page":"202-205","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Seroepidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Dairy Farms from Aguascalientes, Mexico"],"prefix":"10.1645","volume":"111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0970-6811","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Cruz-V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnol\u00f3gico Nacional de M\u00e9xico, Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico El Llano Aguascalientes, Km. 18 carretera Aguascalientes-San Luis Potos\u00ed, El Llano, Aguascalientes 20330, M\u00e9xico."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enrique","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Herrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnol\u00f3gico Nacional de M\u00e9xico, Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico El Llano Aguascalientes, Km. 18 carretera Aguascalientes-San Luis Potos\u00ed, El Llano, Aguascalientes 20330, M\u00e9xico."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irene","family":"Vitela-Mendoza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnol\u00f3gico Nacional de M\u00e9xico, Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico El Llano Aguascalientes, Km. 18 carretera Aguascalientes-San Luis Potos\u00ed, El Llano, Aguascalientes 20330, M\u00e9xico."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leticia","family":"Medina-Esparza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnol\u00f3gico Nacional de M\u00e9xico, Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico El Llano Aguascalientes, Km. 18 carretera Aguascalientes-San Luis Potos\u00ed, El Llano, Aguascalientes 20330, M\u00e9xico."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erika","family":"Rangel-Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Ciencias Agropecuarias, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes 20131, M\u00e9xico."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Ramos-Parra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnol\u00f3gico Nacional de M\u00e9xico, Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico El Llano Aguascalientes, Km. 18 carretera Aguascalientes-San Luis Potos\u00ed, El Llano, Aguascalientes 20330, M\u00e9xico."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1220","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"J.
