Resumo
This research was performed to study the prevalence
of antibodies against Babesia bigemina and Babesia bovis
in dairy cattle of the microregion of Goiânia by the indirect
fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) and ELISA. For the experimental
design of the study, the map of the microregion
was divided into 47 squares, from which 25 were ramdomly
selected to be visited for blood sample collections. Blood
was collected from 10% of the animals in each property.
The total sera sample was 180 as determined by
mathematical model. The results showed a very high
prevalence of B. bovis by ELISA (98,9%) and IFAT (100%).
The prevalence for B. bigemina was even high with 94,4%
and 93,3% by IFAT and ELISA, respectively. The results did
not show any significant statistical difference (P<0,05) and
demonstrated an agreement between the two methods. The
results of this study allowed the caracterization of the region
as a stable area for B. bovis and B. bigemina, which indicated
a potential risk of economic losses for trade cattle introduced
from non enzootic areas.
