| dc.description | Chagas disease, a dangerous and common parasitic infection in Latin America, is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted through blood-sucking bugs of the Triatominae subfamily, known as vinchucas, bed bugs, or chinchorros. This disease poses a serious public health problem in the 21 endemic countries, claiming the lives of millions of people. The present study focuses on canine Chagas disease and its impact on public health, examining clinical symptoms, main risk factors, and its influence in endemic rural areas of Ecuador. This research is conducted through a bibliographic documentary approach using the inductive-deductive method. Information is obtained from scientific articles, indexed journals, and other bibliographic sources. Search platforms such as Google Scholar and academic databases are employed to access relevant information. The study reveals that 3.1% of the evaluated dogs were infected with T. cruzi, with infection being more common in dogs older than one year and in areas with a high density of infected human population. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between infection and the presence of disease vectors in households. These findings indicate that T. cruzi infection in dogs represents a significant public health issue in the province of Manabí. It is crucial to highlight that with timely treatment, dogs can recover from the disease and lead a full and healthy life. Therefore, it is essential to implement detection and control strategies for canine Chagas disease, especially in endemic areas, in order to reduce its impact on public health and improve the quality of life for affected animals and communities. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La enfermedad de Chagas, una infección parasitaria peligrosa y común en América Latina, es causada por el protozoario Trypanosoma cruzi, el cual se transmite a través de chinches hematófagos de la subfamilia Triatominae, conocidos como vinchucas, chinches o chinchorros. Esta enfermedad representa un grave problema de salud pública en los 21 países endémicos, cobrando la vida de millones de personas. El presente estudio se enfoca en la enfermedad de Chagas canina y su impacto en la salud pública, centrándose en los síntomas clínicos, factores de riesgo principales y su influencia en las zonas rurales endémicas del Ecuador. Esta investigación se lleva a cabo mediante un enfoque documental bibliográfico utilizando el método inductivo-deductivo. La información se obtiene de artículos científicos, revistas indexadas y otras fuentes bibliográficas. Se emplean plataformas de búsqueda como Google Académico y consultas en bases de datos académicas para acceder a la información relevante. El estudio revela que un 3,1% de los perros evaluados estaban infectados con T. cruzi, siendo más común la infección en perros mayores de un año y en áreas con alta densidad de población humana infectada. Además, se encontró una relación significativa entre la infección y la presencia de vectores de la enfermedad en los hogares. Estos resultados indican que la infección por T. cruzi en perros representa un problema importante para la salud pública en la provincia de Manabí. Es fundamental destacar que, con un tratamiento oportuno, los perros pueden recuperarse de la enfermedad y llevar una vida plena y saludable. Por lo tanto, es crucial implementar estrategias de detección y control de la enfermedad de Chagas canina, especialmente en áreas endémicas, con el fin de reducir su impacto en la salud pública y mejorar la calidad de vida de los animales y las comunidades afectadas. En conclusión, este estudio documental analiza la enfermedad de Chagas canina y su impacto en la salud pública en el contexto de las zonas rurales endémicas del Ecuador. | es_ES |
