The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of toxoplasmosis on local cat in Yogyakarta by using CATT Pastorex Toxo and to determine the possible risk factors for the occurrence of toxoplasmosis. Serum samples were collected from 132 local cats in Yogyakarta. The prevalence data were analyzed descriptively and epidemiological data such as the origin of the cats, breed/race, sex, age, maintenance system location, feed type, and frequency of diarrhea were coded for ease of analysis, using Statistic Program Version 7 (Analytical Software inc.). Data analysis was performed using bivariate (Chi-square (?2), the strength of the association (OR), and multivariate (logistic regression). The results showed that the risk factors that influence the presence of Toxoplasmosis in cats based on bivariate analysis were cleaning of sandbox once a week and grooming two-three times a week while the factors that have a chance of improving seropositive Toxoplasma based on multivariate analysis are non caged cats maintenance, bathing more than once a week, and bathing more than 1 month. |
