| dc.description | Sarcoptic mange, caused by the Sarcoptes mite, is a highly prevalent disease in dogs with significant zoonotic potential, as it can be transmitted either directly or indirectly. Its incidence has been increasing internationally, leading to misdiagnoses that complicate the provision of effective therapy. The primary objective of this study is to establish percentages or levels of sarcoptic mange in dogs treated at the Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez Animal Health Center at the Technical University of Babahoyo. This study examines factors such as age, breed, and sex, and also assesses the risks associated with this disease. It is established that mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei can be mitigated with rigorous health monitoring, depending on the conditions. However, these measures cannot be effective without controlling many other factors. Scabies is classified as a parasitic infestation that attacks alopecia, causing severe and constant itching, hair loss, and purulent scabs. In more chronic cases, opportunistic or secondary infections of bacterial origin are possible. Diagnosis is very complicated and involves the evaluation of skin tissue samples. The life cycle of Sarcoptes scabiei ranges from 17 to 21 days, and it lives at the expense of its host. Infection begins when the animal enters and interacts primarily with dogs that have been infested, either directly or indirectly through accessories used by the infected dog. Regarding the system, a representative study will be conducted on 40 dogs without discrimination. All dogs will be treated at the Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez Animal Health Center at the Technical University of Babahoyo. All variables will be evaluated, including the presence of Sarcoptes scabiei mites, the degree of infestation, hygiene and sanitary conditions, habitat, and the dogs' demographics. Skin scraping will be the technique used to determine the presence of sarcoptic mange. Keywords: Mites, incidence, transmission, diseases zoonoses | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La sarna sarcóptica, es ocasionada por el acaro Sarcoptes, es una patología de alta incidencia en perros con un gran potencial zoonótico ya que se puede transmitir ya sea de manera directa o de manera indirecta. Internacionalmente su incidencia ha ido en aumento, provocando diagnósticos errados que complican a la hora de poder brindar una terapia asertiva. Este estudio tiene como objetivo primordial establecer porcentajes o niveles de incidencia de origen sarcóptico en perros que son atendidos en el centro de salud animal Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez de la Universidad Técnica de Babahoyo, examinando elementos tales como edad, raza, sexo, y también evaluando los riesgos que implica esta enfermedad. Se establece que la sarna ocasionada por el Sarcoptes scabiei puede ser mitigada con un control sanitario riguroso y de acorde a las condiciones, sin embargo, las medidas no pueden ser eficaces sin no se controlan muchos más factores. La sarna está catalogada como una infestación de origen parasitario, que ataca a las zonas alopécicas, causando un picor fuerte y constante, caída del pelo, costras purulentas, en situaciones más crónicas, infecciones oportunistas o secundarias de origen bacteriano. El poder obtener un diagnóstico es muy complicado y conlleva la evaluación de muestras de tejido cutáneo. El ciclo de vida del Sarcoptes scabiei va desde los 17 días a los 21 días, viviendo a expensas de su hospedador. El contagio empieza cuando se entra interactúa físicamente con los perros que han sido infestados ya sea de forma directa o también de forma indirecta por accesorios que han sido utilizados por el perro contagiado. Referente a la sistemática, se ejecutará un estudio representativo en 40 perros sin discriminar a ninguno, los cuales serán atendidos en el centro de salud animal Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez de la Universidad Técnica de Babahoyo. Se evaluarán todas las variables y también se evaluará la existencia de ácaros Sarcoptes scabiei, grado de infestación, condiciones higiénicas y sanitarias, hábitat y la demografía de los perros. La técnica que se utilizara es el raspado cutáneo para así poder estipular la existencia de sarna sarcóptica. Palabras claves: Ácaros, incidencia, transmisión, enfermedades, zoonosis. | es_ES |
