Resumen
La amebiasis es una enfermedad producida por el parásito Entamoeba sp., el cual es un protozoario de carácter zoonótico con interés en salud pública y de prevalencia mundial. Se realizó el presente trabajo de investigación, el cual tuvo como objetivo determinar la prevalencia de Entamoeba sp. en perros domésticos del recinto “Las Cañas” del cantón Lomas de Sargentillo, considerándose un sector rural y vulnerable. De un total de 133 muestras de heces de perros domésticos, las cuales fueron determinadas con el software
Working in Epidemiology, recolectadas desde el 28 de noviembre de 2022 al 31 de enero de 2023 y analizadas mediante las técnicas coproparasitarias: directo, flotación en solución salina y sedimentación por centrifugación. El estudio se realizó con un enfoque de tipo descriptivo, con diseño de investigación no experimental, de campo, transversal y correlacional; dentro de las variables que se consideraron fueron la edad, sexo, raza, signos y síntomas, condición corporal, desparasitación, tipo de alimentación, hábitat y consumo de agua, los datos fueron registrados en la base de datos de Excel y se evaluaron mediante el
software estadístico SPSS versión 26, donde se determinó un 12.8% de prevalencia de Entamoeba sp. en los perros muestreados, por lo que se recomienda realizar campañas y charlas para instruir a la población y controlar este tipo de parasitosis.
