La toxoplasmosis es una zoonosis con una amplia distribución mundial, y los perros, a pesar de sus huéspedes intermediarios, participan en la cadena epidemiológica de transmisión de la enfermedad, tanto a otros animales como a los humanos. Como actividad de vigilancia epidemiológica, se realizó una búsqueda serológica de anticuerpos de la classe IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii en muestras de suero, obtenidas de 150 perros, en el período de enero a marzo de 2022, pertenecientes al banco de suero, del Laboratorio Clínico Veterinario, de la Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria de la UVV, Vila Velha-ES. Se utilizó el ensayo de inmunofluorescencia indirecta (IFAT) para evaluar los resultados en relación con los títulos, la edad y el sexo. 16 (10,66%) de las muestras fueron positivas, con títulos que oscilaron entre 16 y 256, 15 (93,75%) con títulos de 16, 11 (68,75%) con 64 y tres (18,75%) con 256. En cuanto al sexo, de los 16 animales positivos, nueve (56,25%) eran hembras y siete (43,75%) machos. En cuanto a la edad, los animales positivos oscilaron entre los tres y los 15 años, y los animales con los títulos más altos tuvieron entre 10 y 12 años de edad. Se concluye que, apesar de la baja seroprevalencia, la dispersión de T. gondii ocurre en la región estudiada, y que se deben establecer medidas de vigilancia para controlar la infección y la enfermedad en la población canina y humana.
