Resumen
En el cantón Urdaneta, provincia de Los Ríos, Ecuador, se desconoce la prevalencia de fascioliasis, enfermedad zoonótica hepática bovina producida por la Fasciola hepatica, que conlleva riesgo para la salud de los animales y humanos, ocasionando infecciones en vasos sanguíneos, tubo digestivo, pulmones, hígado, obstrucción de ductos biliares en casos graves, otros. El objetivo de este estudio se enfocó en determinar la prevalencia de Fasciola hepatica en bovinos faenados en el Matadero Municipal del cantón Urdaneta.
El método de muestreo fue probabilístico aleatorio simple, la metodología empleada se realizó por inspección post-mortem, que consiste en una inspección macroscópica de la Fasciola hepatica en 100 hígados de bovinos, realizando incisión en los canalículos hepáticos, cortes perpendiculares a la superficie gástrica transversal, lóbulo caudado y vías biliares principales. No se caracterizó lesiones hepáticas por ausencia del parásito. No se determinó asociación de casos positivos de fascioliasis en 100 hígados de bovinos, de acuerdo con las variables edad, sexo y lugar de procedencia. Se recomienda dirigir los estudios en los predios ganaderos de la localidad comparando la estación seca y lluviosa para determinar los factores asociados a la prevalencia de Fasciola hepatica.
In the Urdaneta canton, province of Los Ríos, Ecuador, the prevalence of fascioliasis, a zoonotic bovine hepatic liver disease caused by Fasciola hepatica, is unknown. This disease poses a health risk to animals and humans, causing infections in blood vessels, digestive tract, lungs, liver, obstruction of bile ducts in severe cases, and others. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica in cattle slaughtered in the Municipal Slaughterhouse of Urdaneta county. The sampling method was simple randomized probabilistic, the methodology used was by post-mortem inspection, which consists of a macroscopic inspection of Fasciola hepatica in 100 bovine livers by incising the hepatic canaliculi, perpendicular cuts to the transverse gastric surface, caudate lobe and main biliary tract. Liver lesions were not characterized due to the absence of the parasite. No association of positive cases of fasciolasis was determined in 100 bovine livers, according to the variables age, sex and place of origin. It is recommended to conduct studies in local cattle farms comparing the dry and rainy seasons to determine the factors associated with the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica.
