In order to determine the prevalence of B.coli in the human and porcine population and its association with socioeconomic factors and environmental sanitation, 221 human faecal samples (children and adults) and 80 fecal swine samples (young and adult) were taken. from the populated centers of Socca ("lake zone") and Caritamaya ("intermediate zone") of the district of Ácora, province and department of Puno in Peru; These samples were subjected to parasitological analysis in the Veterinary Parasitology Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics, National University of Altiplano, in Puno. In order to identify the epidemiological factors associated with balantidiasis, a survey was applied to 100 adults from the two areas mentioned. In order to compare the prevalence of B. coli between children and adults; between young and adult pigs and between the...

Se ha determinado el efecto de las épocas del año sobre la presentación de la pubertad en vaquillas criollas del Centro de Investigación y Producción Chuquibambilla mediante tres métodos de diagnóstico en los períodos de Marzo-Junio del 2001, y Enero - Abril del 2002. Las vaquillas criollas en promedio general alcanzaron la pubertad a los 506.75 ± 46.05 días con 218.36 ± 46.05 kg. de peso vivo; las nacidas en la época de secas a los 513.50 ± 43.13 días y las nacidas en la época de lluvias a los 500.0 ± 48.96días (P >= 0.05), con pesos de 200.10 ± 20.88 kg. y 236.63 ± 17.99 kg. respectivamente (P<= 0.01). Existe una r= 0.723 con coeficiente de determinación de 50.27% para época de lluvias y r = -0.453 con coeficiente de determinación de 20.52% para época de secas entre la edad y el peso. La edad y peso a la pubertad determinado por el método del comportamiento del ...
