The caprine arthritis encephalitis (CAE) is a multisystemic viral disease that primarily affects the nervous, articulate and breast, causing great economic losses. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of caprine arthritis encephalitis in goat herd in the municipality of Alegre / ES, and risk factors for such disease. Randomly selected seven properties in the city, interviews and applied socioeconomic and management of the property. Blood samples were collected from all goats over six months old, stored and sent to the Laboratory of Inspection of Animal Products CCA-UFES for routine HIV testing of Agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID-Biovetech ®) , following the instructions of the manufacturer. We evaluated sera from 156 animals from seven properties, in which 12 animals were reactive serum, accounting for a prevalence of 7.69% of CAE in the municipality of Alegre. The main variables evaluated (reproductive management, participation in events, the presence of technical assistance, the presence of stock colostrum, colostrum thermal treatment, type of milking) were not statistically significant (p> 0.05) for the occurrence of CAE, which required further studies to elucidate the possible risk factors that favor the occurrence of disease in the region. Despite the low seroprevalence in the municipality of Alegre/ ES, efforts should be directed in an attempt to implement control measures and prevention of disease
