Enteroparasitosis en habitantes del municipio insular Almirante Padilla,estado Zulia, Venezuela
Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado, 2018Co-Authors: Bracho Ángela, Rivero Zulbey, Banquet Kely, Sánchez Fabiana, Corzo Ivanna, Atencio Ricardo, Villalobos RafaelAbstract:Intestinal parasitosis are widely distributed in the world, constituting a public health problem. To evaluate whether the geographical and ecological conditions of the island municipality Almirante Padilla of Zulia State influence the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis of its inhabitants, 87 fecal samples corresponding to individuals of any age and sex were analyzed. Each sample was subjected to direct coproparasitological methods (SSF 0.85% and lugol), formalin-ether concentration method (Ritchie), Kinyoun Stain and agar plate technique (Arakaki) for recovery and diagnosis Strongyloides stercoralis larvae. The prevalence of intestinal parasites in the study population was 50.57% (44/87), which prevailed monoparasitism with 52.27% (23/44). Among the parasitized individuals, 29.89% (26/87) of cases corresponded to Chromista Blastocystis sp., followed by Entamoeba complex (13.79%), Endolimax nana (13.79%) and Ascaris lumbricoides (13,79%). Strongyloides stercoralis or intestinal coccidia was not detected. The age group most affected were children aged 2 to 6 years of age (p <0.05). The prevalence and variety of intestinal parasites detected is similar to that reported for other areas of Zulia state where sanitary conditions are similar.Las parasitosis intestinales están ampliamente difundidas en el mundo, constituyendo un problema de salud pública. Para evaluar si las condiciones geográficas y ecológicas del municipio insular Almirante Padilla del estado Zulia influyen en la prevalencia de parasitosis intestinales de sus habitantes, se analizaron 87 muestras fecales, correspondientes a individuos de cualquier edad y sexo. Cada muestra fue sometida a métodos coproparasitológico directos (con SSF 0,85% y lugol), método de concentración formol-éter (Ritchie), coloración de Kinyoun y técnica de agar en placa (Arakaki) para la recuperación y diagnóstico de larvas de Strongyloides stercoralis. La prevalencia de enteroparásitos en la población estudiada fue de 50,57% (44/87), donde predominó el monoparasitismo con 52,27% (23/44). Entre los individuos parasitados, el 29,89% (26/87) de los casos correspondieron al chromista Blastocystis sp., seguido de los protozoos pertenecientes al complejo Entamoeba,Endolimax nana (13,79% c/u) y Ascaris lumbricoides (13,79%). No se detectó Strongyloides stercoralis ni coccidios intestinales. El grupo etario más afectado fueron los niños de 2 a 6 años de edad (p<0,05). La prevalencia y variedad de enteroparásitos detectada es parecida a la referida para otras zonas del estado Zulia con condiciones higiénico-sanitarias similares

Prevalencia de enteroparásitos en niños de la etnia Yukpa de Toromo, Estado Zulia, Venezuela
Revista médica de Chile, 2006Co-Authors: Díaz A,iris, Bracho Ángela, Rivero Zulbey, Castellanos S,maría, Calchi L,marinella, Atencio RicardoAbstract:Background: Yupkpa community in Perijá Sierra does not have drinking water or sewage elimination systems. Thus it becomes a propitious place for infection with intestinal parasites. Aim: To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in children, ages 0 to 14 years, in the Yukpa ethnic population of Toromo in the Perijá Mountains, Zulia State, Venezuela. Material and Methods: Ninety one fecal samples were analyzed by the following coproparasitologic methods: saline solution and lugol fresh mount, formalin-ether concentration (Ritchie), and Kinyoun Stain for intestinal coccidians. Results: Overall parasite infection prevalence was 83.5%. The most frequently observed parasites were: Ascaris lumbricoides (57.1%), Trichuris trichiura (20.8%), Hymenolepis nana (14.2%), Blastocystis hominis (51.6%), Giardia lamblia (30.7%), and Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar complex (21.9%). Coccidians were nont observed in any of the stool samples. Conclusions: The large number of infected people is directly related to the hygienic and sanitary conditions of the population studie

Frecuencia de enteroparásitos en primates Cebidae y Callitrichidae del Zoológico de Cali, Colombia: implicaciones zoonóticas
'Instituto Nacional de Salud (Colombia)', 2021Co-Authors: Zapata-valencia, Jorge Iván, Ortega-valencia Sebastián, Silva-cuero, Yisther Katherine, Castillo-castillo Lina Sofía, Ortega-ruíz Laura Sofía, Cardona-ortiz Adriana, Peña-stadlin JulianaAbstract:Introduction: Enteroparasites can cause problems in animals kept under human care in zoos and shelters. Wild animals have low parasitic loads but, being sheltered in enclosures, they can be higher and lead to clinical manifestations, which increases the cost of medical treatments and care. On the other hand, some enteroparasites can represent a potential risk of zoonotic infection for their animal keepers, visitors and other zoo animals. In addition, they could affect recovery programs for endangered species. Objectives: To establish the presence and prevalence of potentially zoonotic enteroparasites in primates of the families Cebidae and Callitrichidae of the Zoologico de Cali from september to november 2017. Materials and methods: Prospective cross-sectional study. Serial samples from 50 individuals, from seven species of two primate families were analyzed by ova and parasite test, flotation and Kinyoun Stain, between September and November 2017. Results: The parasites genera found in the seven primate species evaluated were, in order of frequency, Blastocystis sp., Trichomonas sp., Giardia sp., Entamoeba sp., Strongyloides sp., Cyclospora sp. and Trichuris sp. Conclusions: Of the parasites genera found, at least six have potential zoonotic implications. It is necessary to establish what are the infection sources for the primates of the Zoológico de Cali and implement management protocols to reduce the risk of transmission to both humans and other animals in the collection. Additionally, in the present work relevant information is presented on the zoonotic potential of each of the enteroparasites found.Introducción. Los enteroparásitos pueden generar problemas en animales mantenidos bajo cuidado humano en zoológicos y centros de acogida. Los animales silvestres presentan bajas cargas parasitarias, pero al estar resguardados en recintos, estas pueden ser mayores y llevar a manifestaciones clínicas, lo cual aumenta los gastos en tratamientos y cuidados médicos. De otro lado, algunos enteroparásitos pueden significar un riesgo potencial de infección zoonótica para sus cuidadores, los visitantes y otros animales del zoológico. Además, podrían llegar a afectar los programas de recuperación de especies amenazadas de extinción. Objetivos. Determinar la presencia y prevalencia de enteroparásitos con potencial de transmisión zoonótica en primates de las familias Cebidae y Callitrichidae del Zoológico de Cali entre septiembre y noviembre de 2017. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal prospectivo. Se recolectaron muestras seriadas de 50 individuos, de siete especies, de dos familias de primates y se analizaron por coprológico, flotación y coloración Kinyoun, entre septiembre y noviembre de 2017. Resultados. Los géneros de parásitos hallados en las siete especies de primates evaluadas fueron, según prevalencia, Blastocystis sp., Trichomonas sp., Giardia sp., Entamoeba sp., Strongyloides sp., Cyclospora sp. y Trichuris sp. Conclusiones. Al menos seis de los géneros de parásitos identificados presentan potenciales implicaciones zoonóticas lo cual hace necesario establecer las posibles vías de infección de los primates del Zoológico de Cali e implementar protocolos de manejo que reduzcan el riesgo de transmisión tanto a los humanos como a otros animales de la colección. Adicionalmente, en el presente trabajo se presenta información relevante sobre el potencial zoonótico de los enteroparásitos hallados

Among the parasitized individuals, 29.89% (26/87) of cases corresponded to Chromista Blastocystis sp., followed by Entamoeba complex (13.79%), Endolimax nana (13.79%) and Ascaris lumbricoides (13,79%). Strongyloides stercoralis or intestinal coccidia was not detected. The age group most affected were children aged 2 to 6 years of age (

Revista médica de Chile, 2006Co-Authors: Díaz A,iris, Bracho Ángela, Rivero Zulbey, Castellanos S,maría, Calchi L,marinella, Atencio RicardoAbstract:Background: Yupkpa community in Perijá Sierra does not have drinking water or sewage elimination systems. Thus it becomes a propitious place for infection with intestinal parasites. Aim: To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in children, ages 0 to 14 years, in the Yukpa ethnic population of Toromo in the Perijá Mountains, Zulia State, Venezuela. Material and Methods: Ninety one fecal samples were analyzed by the following coproparasitologic methods: saline solution and lugol fresh mount, formalin-ether concentration (Ritchie), and Kinyoun Stain for intestinal coccidians. Results: Overall parasite infection prevalence was 83.5%. The most frequently observed parasites were: Ascaris lumbricoides (57.1%), Trichuris trichiura (20.8%), Hymenolepis nana (14.2%), Blastocystis hominis (51.6%), Giardia lamblia (30.7%), and Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar complex (21.9%). Coccidians were nont observed in any of the stool samples. Conclusions: The large number of infected people is directly related to the hygienic and sanitary conditions of the population studie
