dc.descriptionThe objective of this study was to determine the presence of demodectic mange in dogs from the city of Vinces, Los Ríos Province, Ecuador. A non-probabilistic sampling of 100 dogs with symptoms of alopecia and skin lesions was performed, and deep skin scrapings were carried out for the diagnosis of the disease. The results showed a prevalence of demodectic mange of 16% in the analyzed sample, with all positive cases caused by the mite Demódex canis. No cases attributable to Demódex injai were found. The most represented breed was the mixed-breed (91%), followed by French, Chihuahua, Pitbull, Labrador, and Shar-Pei. The majority of positive cases corresponded to mixed-breed dogs. Regarding sex, the sample was mainly composed of males (60%), and positive cases were distributed between males and females. Concerning age, most dogs were between 1 and 5 years old (82%), and positive cases were present in both age groups. Statistical analysis using the chi-square test found no significant association between the variables of breed, sex, age, and the diagnosis of demodectic mange. This suggests that, in the studied sample, these variables do not seem to be determining factors for the presence of the disease. As part of the study, socialization activities were carried out targeting the community of Vinces, including educational talks and distribution of informative material about canine demodicosis, its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatmentes_ES

dc.description.abstractEl presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la presencia de sarna demodécica en perros de la ciudad de Vinces, Provincia de Los Ríos, Ecuador. Se realizó un muestreo no probabilístico de 100 perros con sintomatología de alopecia y lesiones cutáneas, a los cuales se les efectuaron raspados cutáneos profundos para el diagnóstico de la enfermedad. Los resultados mostraron una prevalencia de sarna demodécica del 16% en la muestra analizada, siendo todos los casos positivos causados por el ácaro Demódex canis. No se encontraron casos atribuibles a Demódex injai. La raza más representada fue la mestiza (91%), seguida de la French, Chihuahua, Pitbull, Labrador y Shar-Pei. La mayoría de los casos positivos correspondieron a perros mestizos. En cuanto al sexo, la muestra estuvo compuesta principalmente por machos (60%), y los casos positivos se distribuyeron entre machos y hembras. Respecto a la edad, la mayoría de los perros tenían entre 1 y 5 años (82%), y los casos positivos se presentaron en ambos grupos etarios. El análisis estadístico mediante la prueba de chi-cuadrado no encontró una asociación significativa entre las variables raza, sexo, edad y el diagnóstico de sarna demodécica. Esto sugiere que, en la muestra estudiada, estas variables no parecen ser factores determinantes para la presencia de la enfermedad. Como parte del estudio, se realizaron actividades de socialización dirigidas a la comunidad de Vinces, incluyendo charlas educativas y distribución de material informativo sobre la demodicosis canina, sus síntomas, diagnóstico y tratamiento.es_ES
