SUMMARY:

The toxoplasmosis is a worldwide distributed disease, caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondiithat affects several species, including pets such as dogs and cats, and also humans As it is a disease with zoonotic potential, and high risk for immunosuppressed patients, toxoplasmosis is a topic of relevance for public health, which deserves attention and study. Although there are other ways of transmitting the disease, the possible transmission of the parasite through hematogenic route in blood donor dogs is the subject of this work, which aims to establish the prevalence of the disease in blood banks and establish the level of relevance of detecting this etiological agent in donor screening tests To do this, the study analyzed blood samples from 100 donor dogs from a blood bank in the city of Rio de Janeiro.Through the Modified Agglutination Test (MAT), such samples were evaluated for the presence of anti-T.gondiiantibodies As a result, 8% of the samples were positive, with five females and three males; of which six belonged to distinct kennels and only two were from the same kennel In the second sample, the number of positive animals increased to 14% and in the third and final collection, 15% of the dogs were diagnosed as seropositive.The detection of anti-T antibodies. Gondii in a considerable percentage of the animals analyzed reinforces the importance of investigating the presence of this agent in donor screening tests. It is critical to implement screening protocols that include the detection of anti-T antibodies. Gondii to ensure the safety of blood recipients. It is hoped that the information presented here can be used to improve toxoplasmosis screening and prevention practices, thus contributing to the health and well-being of animals and blood recipients.
