Item Prevalencia de Ancylostoma caninum en caninos domésticos en la comunidad de Sacha Runa, provincia de Pastaza(2022-09) Jaramillo Arias, Ambar Solange; Quinteros Freire, Christian AndrésAncylostoma caninum is a hematophagous and histophagous nematode known for its pathogenicity, its characteristic sign is the presence of anemia in infected patients, this worm spreads rapidly in suitable conditions of temperature, soil and humidity, moreover it has a zoonotic character and unfortunately in the communities information on this subject is limited. Due to this, the study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of A. caninum in the community of Sacha Runa in the province of Pastaza. Fecal samples were taken from 83 canines belonging to the community and divided into age and sex categories. Although no significant differences were found mathematically obtained by Chi square between the different categories of the variables studied, by means of the Mcmaster technique it was possible to obtain important degrees of parasitosis, where according to age the puppies have an average of 1166 eggs per gram in feces which in the scale means a high or severe parasitosis, followed by the adults with 510 eggs per gram and finally the young adults with 468 eggs per gram. In the sex category, although males were infected in greater numbers, females exceeded males in the number of eggs per gram in feces, obtaining a value of 531 h.p.g. as opposed to males with 440 eggs per gram. This highlights the importance of this kind of studies, since in this way it will be possible to take preventive measures so that this parasitosis does not cause serious damage to canines and humans.
