The objective of the study was to assess the susceptibility to infection by rabies virus of dogs in the district of Surquillo, prior to the execution of the national vaccination campaign. An observational cross-sectional and analytical study was designed, using the FAVN test as a laboratory method and a questionnaire to collect variables. Blood samples were collected from 141 dogs, that were at least3 months old, either male or female and were apparently healthy. They were classified into two groups: dogs that had not previously received rabies vaccination (30) and those that had a vaccination record (111). Of the total vaccinated dogs, 73.9% (82) exceeded the seroconversion limit, being protected according to the WHO (0.5UI / ml). Dogs that were one-year-old (p = 0.028) and those that had not received vaccination within the last three years (p = 0.05) were more receptive to the virus. I...

El presente estudio se realizó para determinar la seroprevalencia a Toxoplasma gondii en médicos veterinarios (n=50) del distrito de Trujillo-2013, donde se evaluaron además, factores de riesgo de infección y enfermedad. Los niveles de anticuerpos fueron medidos con el Kit de prueba de Inmunofluorescencia Indirecta (IFI) para la detección IgG anticuerpos de Toxoplasma gondii. La seroprevalencia fue 38% (19/50) para IgG. No se encontró asociación estadística entre los factores de riesgo como edad, sexo y práctica profesional. La prueba de Chi cuadrado reveló además que no existe significancia ente la seropositividad y la tenencia de gatos como mascota, sin embargo la Toxoplasmosis es frecuente entre los médicos veterinarios que consumen carne cruda y vegetales crudos, ruta de infección importante desde el punto de vista de salud pública. La infección por Toxoplasma en médi...
