| dc.description | The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of Toxocara canis in dogs treated at the Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez Animal Health Center. Of the 40 cases studied, 100% were found to be negative, indicating a 0% prevalence. These results were obtained by analyzing fecal samples from dogs treated at the Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez Animal Health Center using the direct smear method. The absence of positive cases in the sample studied suggests that Toxocara canis is not highly prevalent in the canine population treated at the Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez Animal Health Center. The results of this study contrast with others conducted in different areas of the country, which reported significantly higher prevalences. The importance of this study lies in the need to understand the current status of toxocariasis in the canine population in order to implement appropriate control and prevention measures. It is recommended that similar studies be conducted in other regions of the country to gain a broader view of the toxocariasis situation in the Ecuadorian canine population. Furthermore, it is suggested that pet owners be informed and trained about the risks associated with this parasitic disease in order to reduce the prevalence of Toxocara canis in the canine population. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La presente investigación tuvo como tema determinar la presencia de Toxocara canis en perros atendidos en el centro de salud animal Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez, encontrando que, de los 40 casos estudiados, el 100% resultaron negativos, lo que indica una presencia del 0%. Estos resultados se obtuvieron mediante el análisis de muestras de heces de los perros atendidos en el centro de salud animal Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez, utilizando el método de frotis directo. La ausencia de casos positivos en la muestra estudiada sugiere que no existe una alta presencia de Toxocara canis en la población canina atendida en el centro de salud animal Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez. Los resultados de este estudio contrastan con otros realizados en diferentes áreas del país, que reportaron prevalencias significativamente más altas. La importancia de este estudio radica en la necesidad de conocer la situación actual de la toxocariasis en la población canina, con el fin de implementar medidas de control y prevención adecuadas. Se recomienda realizar estudios similares en otras regiones del país, con el fin de obtener una visión más amplia de la situación de la toxocariasis en la población canina ecuatoriana. Además, se sugiere informar y capacitar a los dueños de mascotas sobre los riesgos asociados con esta enfermedad parasitaria, con el fin de reducir la prevalencia de Toxocara canis en la población canina. | es_ES |
