To accomplish this, we designed a descriptive observational cross-sectional study, selecting 125 cats from shelters located in the districts of Lurin, Miraflores, and Santiago de Surco. Animals chosen were adult cats of both sexes, regardless of their health condition. They were selected proportionally and randomly within each shelter. Blood samples (1 mL) were processed using the indirect hemagglutination test to detect serological IgG and IgM antibodies against T. gondii. The frequency of IgG antibodies against T. gondii was found to be 15.2%, while the frequency of IgM antibodies againstT. gondii was 3.2%. A significant association was observed between the age of the cat and the serological frequency of T. gondii. Using the chi-square test, no association was found between the remaining characteristics of the animals under study or their epidemiological variables and the serological positivity of T. gondii.El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la frecuencia de anticuerpos serológicos de Toxoplasma gondii en gatos domésticos (Felis silvestris catus) provenientes de albergues de Lima Metropolitana. Para ello se diseñó un estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal, seleccionando 125 gatos de albergues localizados en los distritos de Lurín, Miraflores y Santiago de Surco. Los animales escogidos eran adultos, de ambos sexos, sin distinción de su condición sanitaria, y elegidos de manera proporcional y aleatoria en cada albergue. Las muestras de sangre (1 mL) fueron procesadas mediante la prueba de hemoaglutinación indirecta para la detección serológica de anticuerpos IgG e IgM contra T. gondii. La frecuencia de anticuerpos IgG contra T. gondii fue de 15.2 %, mientras que la de anticuerpos IgM contra T. gondii fue de 3.2 %. Se observó una asociación significativa entre la edad del gato y lafrecuencia serológica de T. gondii. Al utilizar la prueba de chi cuadrado, no se observó asociación entre el restode las características de los animales en estudio y las variables epidemiológicas recopiladas con la positividadserológica de T. gondii.Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia2023-07-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.upch.edu.pe/index.php/STV/article/view/455410.20453/stv.v11i2.4554Salud y Tecnología Veterinaria; Vol. 11 No. 1 (2023): Enero - Junio; 1-8Salud y Tecnología Veterinaria; Vol. 11 Núm. 1 (2023): Enero - Junio; 1-82312-3907reponame:Revistas - Universidad Peruana Cayetano Herediainstname:Universidad Peruana Cayetano Herediainstacron:UPCHspahttps://revistas.upch.edu.pe/index.php/STV/article/view/4554/5112Derechos de autor 2023 Raquel Murdoch Quijandría, Enrique Serrano-Martínezinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.upch.edu.pe:article/45542023-08-02T19:23:24Z
