Resumen
Un estudio se realizó en el Parque Samanes de Guayaquil para determinar la prevalencia de parásitos zoonóticos en la zona. Se recolectaron muestras de heces y tierra en diferentes áreas del parque y se examinaron mediante el análisis coproparasitario a través del método de Sulfato de Zinc y Baerman. De las 40 muestras analizadas, 24 resultaron positivos para la presencia de parásitos intestinales zoonóticos, siendo los Ancylostoma spp y Dipylidium spp los más prevalentes. Estos parásitos pueden ser transmitidos de animales a humanos, lo que representa un riesgo potencial para la salud pública. Además, se realizaron encuestas a diferentes propietarios de mascotas para determinar su nivel de conocimiento sobre el plan de desparasitación, lo que excluyó una falta de conocimiento generalizado. Por lo tanto, se destaca la necesidad de mejorar la educación sobre la importancia de la desparasitación en las mascotas y la necesidad de tomar medidas de prevención y control para proteger la salud pública. En resumen, este estudio enfatizó la necesidad de una mayor educación para los propietarios de mascotas para prevenir la transmisión de enfermedades a los seres humanos y proteger la salud pública en la zona del Parque Samanes de Guayaquil.
A study was conducted in Parque Samanes in Guayaquil to determine the prevalence of zoonotic parasites in the area. Samples of feces and soil were collected from different areas of the park and examined using coproparasitological analysis through the Zinc Sulfate and Baermann methods. Out of the 40 samples analyzed, 24 were positive for the presence of zoonotic intestinal parasites, with Ancylostoma spp and Dipylidium spp being the most prevalent. These parasites can be transmitted from animals to humans, which poses a potential risk to public health. Additionally, surveys were conducted with different pet owners to determine their level of knowledge about the deworming plan, which showed a widespread lack of knowledge. Therefore, there is a need to improve education on the importance of deworming pets and to take prevention and control measures to protect public health. In conclusion, this study emphasized the need for greater education for pet owners to prevent the transmission of diseases to humans and to protect public health in the Parque Samanes area of Guayaquil.
