Abstract
El aumento de la población de Canis familiaris, en los hogares genera un elevado riesgo de transmisión de parásitos zoonóticos al hombre. La prevalencia de infección por parásitos de este grupo está asociada con la edad y el lugar de procedencia; sin embargo, los datos al respecto son incompletos en el norte del Perú. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la prevalencia de infección por parásitos intestinales en C. familiaris atendidos en dos consultorios veterinarios de la localidad de Cartavio, distrito de Santiago de Cao, provincia de Ascope (Perú) de febrero a mayo del 2023. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo-prospectivo de corte transversal obteniendo 62 muestras, las cuales fueron analizadas utilizando la técnica de concentración formol-éter. Se reportaron 29 muestras positivas que representan una prevalencia de 46.8% identificando a los siguientes parásitos; dentro de los protozoarios Cystoisospora sp. (17.7%) y Giardia sp. (6.5%) y entre los helmintos, huevos de Toxocara sp. (8.1%), Taenidae (6.5%), Ancylostoma sp, Diphyllobothrium sp. (ambos con 3.2%) y Dipylidium sp. (1.6%). Se determinó que la prevalencia se asocia (p<0.05) a la edad y la presencia del síndrome diarreico
The increase in the population of Canis familiaris in households generates a high risk of transmission of zoonotic parasites to humans. The prevalence of parasite infection in this group is associated with age and place of origin; however, data are incomplete in northern Peru. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasite infection in C. familiaris treated in two veterinary clinics in the town of Cartavio, district of Santiago de Cao, province of Ascope (Peru) from February to May 2023. A descriptive-prospective cross-sectional study was carried out, obtaining 62 samples, which were analyzed using the formalin-ether concentration technique. Twenty-nine positive samples were reported, representing a prevalence of 46.8%, identifying the following parasites: among the protozoa, Cystoisospora sp. (17.7%) and Giardia sp. (6.5%) and among the helminths, eggs of Toxocara sp. (8.1%), Taenidae (6.5%), Ancylostoma sp., Diphyllobothrium sp. (both with 3.2%) and Dipylidium sp. (1.6%). Prevalence was found to be associated (p<0.05) with age and the presence of diarrheal syndrome.
