Conteúdo:	The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence and factors associated with the presence of antiToxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies in sheep from Paraná state. The detection of antibodies for T. gondii and N. caninum was performed by homemade and commercial indirect ELISA, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to verify the factors associated with the seroprevalence. Antibodies anti-T. gondii and anti-N. caninum were observed in 42.7% and in 17.6% of the animals, respectively. The protective factors associated to seropositive were ?some level of confinement? (full or semi-extensive confinement) (OR=0.53) for T. gondii and ?use of skilled labor? (OR=0.64) for N. caninum. The risk factors were ?presence of cats? (OR=1.75) for T. gondii and ?feeding of dogs with sheep placental remains? (OR=1.79) for N. caninum. In addition, to presenting a significant and simultaneous seroprevalence for both agents (9.9% of the animals), the results also indicate that deficiencies in management and environmental sanitation, the presence of reservoirs, and types of exploitation enhance the seropositivity. Thus, studies like this might support sanitary programs and public policies for the prevention of T. gondii and N. caninum in the sheep herds of Paraná state.
