| dc.description | The objective of this study was to determine the presence of cysticercosis in pigs slaughtered in the municipal slaughterhouse of the Ventanas canton, Province of Los Ríos. Porcine cysticercosis, caused by the larva of Taenia solium, is a zoonotic disease of public health importance and with a significant socioeconomic impact. During the study period, 288 samples from slaughtered pigs were analyzed, macroscopically examining the organs and tissues affected by cysticercosis, such as the tongue, masseter muscles, intercostal muscles, femoral muscles, heart and liver. The results revealed a total absence of positive cases of cysticercosis, which translates into an incidence of 0% for all the variables studied, including sex, age, origin, affected organs and tissues. In addition, surveys were conducted with pig farmers to detail the factors associated with the presence of cysticercosis and thus identify the prevention practices implemented in pig facilities. The results pointed to areas for improvement in implementing quarantine protocols for newly arrived pigs, controlling human access to the facilities, and continuously training staff on biosecurity and disease prevention practices. In conclusion, the presence of cysticercosis was not detected in the pigs slaughtered in the municipal slaughterhouse of the Ventanas canton during the study period. However, it is essential to maintain and reinforce sanitary and hygiene control measures in swine facilities, as well as carry out continuous monitoring of cysticercosis and its associated factors to guarantee food security and public health in the region. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la presencia de cisticercosis en cerdos faenados en el camal municipal del cantón Ventanas, Provincia de Los Ríos. La cisticercosis porcina, causada por la larva de la Taenia solium, es una enfermedad zoonótica de importancia en salud pública y con un impacto socioeconómico significativo. Durante el período de estudio, se analizaron 288 muestras de cerdos sacrificados, examinando macroscópicamente los órganos y tejidos afectados por cisticercosis, como la lengua, músculos maseteros, músculos intercostales, músculos femorales, corazón e hígado. Los resultados revelaron una ausencia total de casos positivos de cisticercosis, lo que se traduce en una incidencia del 0% para todas las variables estudiadas, incluyendo sexo, edad, procedencia, órganos y tejidos afectados. Además, se realizaron encuestas a porcicultores para detallar los factores asociados a la presencia de cisticercosis y así identificar las prácticas de prevención implementadas en las instalaciones porcinas. Los resultados señalaron áreas por mejorar en cuanto a la implementación de protocolos de cuarentena para cerdos recién llegados, el control del acceso de personas a las instalaciones y la capacitación continua del personal sobre prácticas de bioseguridad y prevención de enfermedades. En conclusión, no se detectó la presencia de cisticercosis en los cerdos faenados en el camal municipal del cantón Ventanas durante el período de estudio. Sin embargo, es fundamental mantener y reforzar las medidas de control sanitario y de higiene en las instalaciones porcinas, así como realizar un monitoreo continuo de la cisticercosis y sus factores asociados para garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y la salud pública en la región. | es_ES |
