| dc.description | Canine Ehrlichiosis is a disease that affects dogs throughout the world. It is caused by bacteria called Ehrlichia spp., transmitted by ticks, and is characterized by a series of clinical signs that can be nonspecific or specific and each one would be linked to a specific stage of ehrlichia, these are: Acute, Subclinical and Clinical. To diagnose the disease, rapid detection tests are performed using specific kits for Ehrlichia Canis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment focuses on the use of antibiotics such as doxycycline for a prolonged period, usually 4 to 8 weeks. The main objective of this experimental project is to determine the presence of Ehrlichia in dogs treated at the "Mundo Animal" clinic in the city of Quevedo. To achieve this determination, an immunochromatography test was used to qualitatively detect anti-Ehrlichia Canis antibodies in serum, plasma or blood samples from the dogs. A sample of 30 canine patients was selected for this study. In terms of statistical analysis, appropriate methods were used to calculate the total percentage of the presence of Ehrlichia antibodies in the selected sample and to evaluate the association between the presence of the disease and variables such as age, breed and sex of the dogs. The experimental work will provide important information about ehrlichia, its background, development, diagnosis, prevention and treatments. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La Ehrlichiosis Canina es una enfermedad que afecta de manera general a los perros en todo el mundo. Es causada por bacterias llamadas Ehrlichia spp., transmitidas por garrapatas, y se caracteriza por una serie de signos clínicos que pueden ser inespecíficos o específicos y cada uno estaría vinculado a una etapa especifica de la ehrlichia, estas son: Aguda, Subclínica y Clínica. Para diagnosticar la enfermedad, se realizan pruebas rápidas de detección utilizando kits específicos para Ehrlichia Canis. Una vez confirmado el diagnóstico, el tratamiento se centra en la utilización de antibióticos como la doxiciclina durante un lapso determinado, generalmente de 4 a 8 semanas. Este proyecto experimental tiene como objetivo principal determinar la presencia de Ehrlichia en perros atendidos en la clínica "Mundo Animal" en la ciudad de Quevedo. Para lograr la determinación de lo planteado, se usó un test de inmunocromatografía para detectar cualitativamente los anticuerpos anti-Ehrlichia Canis en muestras de suero, plasma o sangre de los perros. Se seleccionó una muestra de 30 pacientes caninos para este estudio. En términos de análisis estadístico, se utilizó métodos adecuados para calcular el porcentaje total de la presencia de anticuerpos de Ehrlichia en la muestra seleccionada y para evaluar la asociación entre la presencia de la enfermedad y variables como la edad, raza y sexo de los perros. El trabajo experimental brindará información importante sobre la ehrlichia, sus antecedentes, desarrollo, diagnóstico, prevención y tratamientos. | es_ES |
