Descripción
Los caninos pueden albergar una o varias especies de parásitos intestinales y algunas de estas son responsables de importantes enfermedades zoonóticas. En Colombia, los estudios reportados en caninos donde informen el estatus parasitario de la población canina y los factores de riesgo son limitados. Se analizaron 152 muestras de materia fecal de perros mediante un estudio observacional de corte transversal y utilizando un modelo de detección de enfermedad con una prevalencia mínima del 10% en tres subpoblaciones de Bogotá: tiendas de mascotas, criaderos y hogares del barrio El Codito. Se emplearon técnicas de flotación-centrifugación en solución salina saturada y en sulfato de zinc, técnica de formoléter y técnica de mini-baerman y se aplicó una serie de encuestas con el fin de conocer las percepciones de los propietarios y/o responsables de los caninos sobre las parasitosis, transmisión y control. La ocurrencia parasitaria fue del 38,2% y los parásitos encontrados fueron: Toxocara canis (10%-41,3%), Cystoisospora ohioensis (2,5-27,9%), Ancylostomidae (0%-16,9%), Cystoisospora canis (0%-13,2%), Toxascaris leonina (0%-8%) y Dipylidium caninum (0%-7,9%). No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la ocurrencia entre género, raza y edad.
Canines can host one or more species of intestinal parasites and some of these are responsible for important zoonotic diseases. In Colombia, the studies that have reported where they inform the parasitic status of dog populations and the risk factors are limited. 152 fecal samples were analyzed from dogs by a cross-sectional observational study and using a disease screening method with a minimum prevalence of 10% in three subpopulations of Bogotá: pet stores, breeding kennels and homes from El Codito’s neighborhood. Techniques of flotation-centrifugation in saturated saline solution and zinc sulfate solution, formalin-ether technique and mini-Baerman technique were employed and a series of surveys were applied in order to understand the perceptions of owners and / or those responsible for canines on parasites, transmission and control. The overall occurrence was 38.2% and the parasites that were found were: Toxocara canis (10% -41.3%), Cystoisospora ohioensis (2.5 to 27.9%), Ancylostomidae (0% -16.9%), Cystoisospora canis (0% -13.2%), Toxascaris leonina (0% - 8%) and Dipylidium caninum (0% -7.9%). No significant differences in the occurrence of gender, race and age were found.
