We performed a systematic literature review on the prevalence and risk factors for toxoplasmosis in slaughtered animals and performed a meta-analysis of its prevalence for different species and regions. Furthermore, we also discussed the infectivity of seropositive animals, risk factors, and preventive strategies. In the meta-analysis, the overall prevalence estimates for poultry, ostrich, goats, swine, equids, sheep, and bovines were 42.4, 40.4, 23.0, 19.9, 19.1, 17.3, and 16.2%, respectively. Regarding the Brazilian regions, the highest prevalence values were detected for bovines and equids in the South (32.3 and 34.4%, respectively) and swine, goats, sheep, and poultry in the Northeast (29.3, 23.0, 22.9, and 69.8%%, respectively). High proportions of Toxoplasma gondii viability in bioassay conducted on seropositive animals were seen for sheep (34\/40 = 85%) and swine (12\/15 = 80%). Toxoplasma gondii infections are widespread on Brazilian farms, and the summarized data allow the establishment of high-priority areas and\/or species for the adoption of preventive strategies to control this parasite at different levels of the food chain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani12223102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,10]],"date-time":"2022-11-10T19:18:29Z","timestamp":1668107909000},"page":"3102","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Occurrence of Toxoplasmosis in Animals Slaughtered in Brazilian Abattoirs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7967-7628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel Augusto Marques","family":"Rossi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Vila Velha (UVV), Department of Veterinary Medicine, Avenue Comiss\u00e1rio Jos\u00e9 Dantas de Melo, Number 21, Vila Velha 29102-920, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9483-0800","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo","family":"de Freitas Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Bio-Informatics and Animal Models, Wageningen Bioveterinary Research, 8221 RA Lelystad, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2523-233X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Gabri\u00ebl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Translational Physiology, Infectiology and Public Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University, 9820 Merelbeke, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F\u00e1bio Ribeiro","family":"Braga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Vila Velha (UVV), Department of Veterinary Medicine, Avenue Comiss\u00e1rio Jos\u00e9 Dantas de Melo, Number 21, Vila Velha 29102-920, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2022, August 24).
