| dc.description | The presence of Toxocara canis is a topic of interest in the fields of veterinary medicine and public health due to its implications for animal health and the possible zoonotic risk for humans. This is a common parasitic nematode in dogs, especially in puppies. The objective of this work was focused on determining the presence of this parasite in canids from the veterinary offices of the Vinces canton, province of Los Ríos. The study showed that the incidence of this parasitosis was 18% in puppies, with 100 canines being sampled, of which 18 were positive, all of this through examinations of fresh feces by the flotation method, where the eggs of the parasite were identified. Also, it is considered that transmission can occur in several ways, including transplacental transmission, where puppies become infected before birth, and galactogenic transmission, where puppies become infected through mother's milk. Finally, infected puppies may present various clinical symptoms, such as; weight loss, lethargy, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and in severe cases, pneumonia and neurological problems due to larval migration. Meanwhile, infection prevention and control are essential and may include measures such as early antiparasitic treatment of puppies and dams, hygienic management of the canine environment to reduce exposure to parasite eggs, and educating owners about the risks of zoonosis, for this reason an informative brochure was generated. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La presencia de Toxocara canis es un tema de interés en los ámbitos de la medicina veterinaria y la salud pública por sus implicaciones para la sanidad animal y el posible riesgo zoonótico para el ser humano. Este es un nematodo parásito frecuente en perros, sobre todo en cachorros. El objetivo de este trabajo se focalizó en determinar la presencia de este parásito en cánidos de los consultorios veterinarios del cantón Vinces, provincia de Los Ríos. El estudio demostró que la incidencia de 18 % de esta parasitosis en cachorros, siendo muestreados 100 caninos, de los cuales 18 resultaron positivos, todo esto mediante exámenes de heces frescas por el método de flotación, donde se logró identificar los huevos del parásito. También, se determinó que la transmisión puede ocurrir de varias maneras, incluida la transmisión transplacentaria, donde los cachorros se infectan antes del nacimiento, y la transmisión galactógena, donde los cachorros se infectan a través de la leche materna. Por ende, los cachorros infectados pueden presentar diversos síntomas clínicos, tales como; pérdida de peso, letargo, diarrea, vómitos, distensión abdominal, y en casos severos, neumonía y problemas neurológicos debido a la migración larvaria. Mientras, la prevención y control de la infección son fundamentales y pueden incluir medidas como el tratamiento antiparasitario temprano de los cachorros y las madres, la gestión higiénica del entorno de caninos para reducir la exposición a los huevos del parásito, y la educación a propietarios sobre los riesgos de la zoonosis, por tal motivo se generó un tríptico informativo. | es_ES |
