| dc.description | This titling project focused on the determination of Microfilariasis in canines at the DR. JEVER Veterinary Center, located in the canton of Ventanas, Ecuador. This pathology, caused by the parasite Dirofilaria immitis, is a zoonotic disease that can be asymptomatic in dogs, but has serious implications for public health. The main objective was to diagnose the presence of Microfilariae immitis in canines, evaluating factors such as the age, sex and breed of the affected animals. The methodology of the study was descriptive, using an inductive-deductive and experimental-descriptive approach. Diagnostic tests, such as the Woo Test, were performed and statistical analyses were applied to determine the prevalence of the disease in the dog population. In addition, data collection was carried out through fieldwork, which includes tabulation of results. Two positive cases of Microfilariasis were obtained, representing 4% of the total sample evaluated. Of these cases, one was male (1/24) and the other female (1/26). Therefore, one belonged to the young group between 1 and 2 years of age and the other to the adult group of 2 to 3 years of age. In terms of breed, mixed-breed dogs presented one positive case, representing 50% of the total parasitosis detected. In contrast, the Pitbull breed also showed a low prevalence, with only one positive case (50%). Therefore, the study contributes to the knowledge about Microfilariasis in canines and its impact on public health, through a rigorous and ethical methodological approach. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | El presente proyecto de titulación se centró en la determinación de Microfilariasis en caninos en el Centro Veterinario DR. JEFF, ubicado en el cantón Ventanas, Ecuador. Esta patología, causada por el parásito Dirofilaria immitis, es una enfermedad zoonótica que puede ser asintomática en perros, pero tiene serias implicaciones para la salud pública. El objetivo principal fue diagnosticar la presencia de Microfilarias immitis en caninos, evaluando factores como la edad, el sexo y la raza de los animales afectados. La metodología del estudio fue de carácter descriptivo, utilizando un enfoque inductivo-deductivo y experimental-descriptivo. Se realizaron pruebas diagnósticas, como el Test de Woo, y se aplicó análisis estadísticos para determinar la prevalencia de la enfermedad en la población canina. Además, se realizó la recolección de datos mediante un trabajo de campo, que incluye la tabulación de resultados. Obteniendo dos casos positivos de Microfilariasis, representando 4% del total de la muestra evaluada. De estos casos, uno fue macho (1/24) y el otro hembra (1/26). Por consiguiente, uno perteneció al grupo joven entre 1 a 2 años y el otro al grupo adulto de 2 a 3 años de edad. En cuanto a raza, los perros mestizos presentaron un caso positivo, representando 50% del total de parasitosis detectadas. En contraste, la raza Pitbull que también mostró una prevalencia baja, con un solo caso positivo (50 %). Por consiguiente, el estudio contribuye al conocimiento sobre la Microfilariasis en caninos y su impacto en la salud pública, a través de un enfoque metodológico riguroso y ético. | es_ES |
