    Revisión bibliográfica de la resistencia parasitaria en la aplicación de antihelmínticos en bovinos del Ecuador
    (2024-11) Patiño Ponce Juan Pablo; Rodríguez Haro Cecilia Elizabeth
    This study reviews the resistance of gastrointestinal parasites in cattle in Ecuador to the use of anthelmintics, through a bibliographic review of scientific publications and national reports. The objective is to provide an updated overview of parasite species prevalence and the effectiveness of anthelmintic treatments, considering the geographical, climatic, and biological variations across different regions of the country. The specific objectives include: 1) Determining the number of helminth species present in cattle fecal samples before and after treatments with various drugs. 2) Identifying the most prevalent gastrointestinal parasite species. 3) Analyzing deworming protocols, considering the diversity of helminths, the time of year, and the duration of treatment effectiveness in each region. The study covered several regions of Ecuador, including the coast, highlands, and the Amazon, each with distinct climatic and geographical conditions that influence parasite prevalence and treatment effectiveness. In the coastal region, provinces such as Manabí, Guayas, and El Oro, with warm and humid climates, promote parasite presence. In the highlands, areas like Pichincha, Chimborazo, and Azuay, with cooler climates and higher altitudes, present different patterns of parasitic incidence. In the Amazon, provinces such as Napo, Sucumbíos, and Morona Santiago are characterized by their biodiversity, which facilitates the prevalence of various parasitic species. This analysis provides key information to optimize parasite control strategies in cattle farming in Ecuador, contributing to the development of more sustainable and effective practices that improve animal health and increase livestock productivity in the country.
