Abstract
Were examined by the Indirect Immunofluorescence technique for T. gondii, 561 sera of equine killed in the King Meat slaughterhouse of Apucarana - PR. Equines were from States of: São Paulo (233 - 41,53%), Paraná (131 - 23,35%), Mato Grosso do Sul (120 - 21,39%) e Mato Grosso (77 - 13:73%). Considering titer 1:16 and higher as representative of previous contact with T. gondii. The result showed that 31,55% equine were positive for T. gondi, with serological titles raging from 1:16 to 1:4096. indicating high risk of human infection when the meat of these animals are eaten uncooked or rare because this meat is exported to The European Comunity for human consume.
