La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar la percepción de los estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de Cajamarca sobre la presencia de perros vagabundos en la ciudad de Cajamarca, considerándola un problema de salud pública. La creciente población de estos animales ha suscitado preocupaciones significativas, dado que pueden ser portadores de enfermedades zoonóticas y generar riesgos de seguridad, así como contribuir a la contaminación ambiental. A través de encuestas aplicadas a los estudiantes, se evidenció que un 65 % de los encuestados califica la situación de los perros vagabundos como severa a grave. Los principales problemas que enfrentan estos animales, según el 74,7 % de los encuestados, son la desnutrición y el maltrato. En relación con los riesgos para la salud pública, un 88,6 % considera que los perros vagabundos rompen bolsas de basura, un 80,6 % ...

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of trematodes and nematodes through the presence of eggs in faeces of creole donkeys marketed in the Plaza Pecuaria Iscoconga in Cajamarca, Peru. The work was carried out between November and December 2019 with stool samples from 73 donkeys of both sexes. The samples were analysed using the Sedimentation method modified by Rojas and Torrel for the case of trematodes and the Sheather method for the case of nematodes. All samples were positive for at least one species of parasite. The prevalence found were Fasciola hepatica 28.8 ± 10.4% (21/73), paramphistomides 0%; Strongylus spp 53.4 ± 11.4% (39/73), Trichostrongylus spp 46.6 ± 11.4% (34/73), Nematodirus spp 2.7 ± 3.7% (2/73) and Parascaris spp 2.7 ± 3.7% (2/73). It is concluded that the prevalence of parasitosis was 100%; 98.6% corresponding to nematodes, 27.4% to the associatio...

The aim of this study was to identify the etiological agent of lymphadenitis in guinea pigs from five commercial family breeding farms in Cajamarca, Peru, as well as to determine the sensitivity of the agents found against antibacterial frequently used in the area (amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, nitrofurantoin, cephalexin, tetracycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and penicillin). Five guinea pigs with clinical signs of lymphadenitis were obtained and samples were taken from the affected cervical lymph nodes. Bacterial isolation was carried out on blood agar and MacConkey agar and the antibiogram was carried out according to the Kirby-Bauer method. The etiological agent was Trueperella pyogenes, highly sensitive to nitrofurantoin and resistant to penicillin.
