Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are two apicomplex protozoans that can cause neuromuscular diseases in dogs. In Peru, are only a few studies on the implication of these agents in the canine species. The target of this investigation was to find the association between IgG antibodies and neuromuscular diseases. In this study, 96 sera of dogs with clinical signs of neuromuscular disease and 120 sera of dogs without neuromuscular signs were examinated. All the samples were obtained at the Small Animal Clinic of the FMV – UNMSM. The diagnosis was performed by means of indirect immunofluorescence test (IFI) for the detection of IgG antibodies, considering positive the sera that showed complete fluorescence of the tachyzoite in the dilution 1:50. In the dogs with neuromuscular disease, the frequency for Toxoplasma gondii was 23.96 ± 8.5% (23/96) and for Neospora caninum was 5.21 ± 4.4 (5/96), meanwhile, in the dogs without neuromuscular disease the frequency for Toxoplasma gondii was 3.34 ± 3.1 (4/120) and for Neospora caninum was 1.67 ± 2.5 (2/120). Finally, it was observed association between the neuromuscular disease and the presence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies, while did not find association between such disease and the presence of anti-Neospora caninum antibodies.
