| dc.description | Babesiosis has been known as a tick-borne parasitic disease that affects a variety of mammals, including dogs. This disease, caused by protozoa of the Babesia genus, could cause serious and potentially lethal symptoms in canines. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to determine the prevalence of babesiosis in dogs treated at the "Mundo Animal" veterinary clinic located in the canton of Vinces, province of Los Ríos. A retrospective analysis was carried out of the veterinary records of dogs treated at the "Mundo Animal" clinic during the period from January to December 2023. Name, age, sex, breed, and symptoms presented at the time of the consultation were considered variables. The sample was applied to a total of 30 dogs of which 14 cases of babesiosis were identified, representing a prevalence of 47%. The disease was more common in younger dogs, predominating 35% in mixed-breed canines and certain other breeds, with symptoms including fever, lethargy, anemia and loss of appetite. The identification of risk factors associated with the disease could help in the implementation of more effective prevention strategies, including tick control and educating owners about the signs and symptoms of babesiosis. It was important to continue epidemiological surveillance to monitor the prevalence of the disease where control measures were adjusted as necessary. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La babesiosis ha sido conocida como una enfermedad parasitaria transmitida por garrapatas que afecta a una variedad de mamíferos, incluidos los perros. Esta enfermedad, fue causada por protozoos del género Babesia, pudo provocar síntomas graves y potencialmente letales en los caninos. Por lo cual, el objetivo principal que se planteó en esta investigación fue determinar la prevalencia de babesiosis en perros atendidos en la clínica veterinaria "Mundo Animal" ubicada en el cantón Vinces, provincia de Los Ríos. Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de los registros veterinarios de perros atendidos en la clínica "Mundo Animal" durante el periodo de enero a diciembre de 2023. Se consideraron como variables nombre, edad, sexo, raza, y síntomas presentados al momento de la consulta. Se aplicó la muestra a un total de 30 perros de los cuales se identificaron 14 casos de babesiosis, representando una prevalencia del 47%. La enfermedad fue más común en perros más jóvenes, preponderando con un 35% en caninos mestizos y en ciertas otras razas, con síntomas que incluían fiebre, letargo, anemia y pérdida de apetito. La identificación de factores de riesgo asociados a la enfermedad pudo ayudar en la implementación de estrategias de prevención más efectivas, incluyendo el control de garrapatas y la educación de los propietarios sobre los signos y síntomas de la babesiosis. Resultó importante continuar con la vigilancia epidemiológica para monitorear la prevalencia de la enfermedad donde se ajustaron las medidas de control según llegó a ser necesario. | es_ES |
