--- The study objective was to determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in pigs from well managed and poor managed farms of the Lima, Peru and identify factors associated with transmission. The work was done in 407 animals from 7 farms whit pig well managed and 10 poor managed located in the coastline of the department of Lima. Epidemiological surveys were applied on farms to identify potential factors associated with the transmission of T. gondii in pigs. Subsequently blood samples were collected from pigs in the finishing phase from well managed (264) and poor managed (143), Serum samples were preserved frozen (-70 ° C) until processing in the Laboratory of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of UNMSM. To diagnose of swine toxoplasmosis was used the indirect technique ELISA. The association between seroprevalence of T. gondii and each of the evaluated variables (sex, provenance, animal density, water source, type of accommodation, presence of cats and rodent control) were analyzed mediantes multiple models of logistic regression. The seroprevalence of T. gondii in pig of the well managed farms and poor managed farms from Lima-Peru is 4.5 and 33.6% respectively. Factors associated with the transmission of T. gondii in pigs are the provenance (OR: 12.31), water source (OR: 6.44), type of accommodation: mixed (OR: 6.14) and not stabled (OR: 13.59); the presence of felines: 1 to 3 (OR: 5.29) and ≥4 (OR: 16.02); and the rodent control (OR: 7.81). KEYWORDS: swine, Toxoplasma gondii, indirect ELISA, logistic regression
