Presencia de huevos de parásitos en excremento de caninos y su riesgo real en la salud pública en áreas zonales del barrio Molinos II.

Abstract

The close relationship that humans have established with animals is undeniable, especially with domesticated animals, mainly dogs, which can affect public health by having parasites in their feces, which can be easily transmitted to humans. For this reason, the present research project had the general objective of demonstrating the presence of parasite eggs in dog feces in the zonal areas of the Molinos II neighborhood, for which the research question focuses on determining if it is possible to determine the presence of parasite eggs in parasites in canine excrement that may be harmful to public health in the Molinos II neighborhood through samples and microscopic tests. In order to resolve what was previously questioned, the present work was developed in the zonal areas of the Molinos II neighborhood, located in the Rafael Uribe Uribe locality in the city of Bogotá D.C., Colombia; 82 samples were taken at different points in two zonal parks located in the Molinos II neighborhood and were taken to the ecology and zoonosis laboratory of the Bosa Porvenir University Citadel. In addition, a survey was applied to the inhabitants to find out the habits that pet owners have in terms of deworming, feces collection, among other aspects. Parasite eggs were found in 34 (41.46%) of the 82 samples processed, with more than one endoparasite found in three of the fecal samples. The most frequent parasitic agent was T. canis present in 24 (29.27%) of the total samples, followed by D. caninum found in 7 (8.54%), T. vulpis with 2 (2.54%). , S. stercoralis with 1 (1.22%) and A. lumbricoides with 1 (1.22%).
