Con la finalidad de determinar la prevalencia de distomatosis hepática, coccidiosis y nematodiosis gastrointestinal del ganado vacuno en los distritos Huancabamba, Sondor, Sondorillo y el Carmen de la frontera, provincia de Huancabamba departamento Piura, se recolectaron 360 muestras de heces entre los meses de diciembre del 2015, enero y febrero del 2016. Utilizando el método de Dennis y colaboradores, método de flotación con solución saturada de azúcar, método de cultivo de coccidias, método de cultivo de larvas y método de Baerman; considerándose la edad y sexo; de cuyos resultados el grado de prevalencia de distomatosis hepática fue 42.50% donde las hembras 46.29% fueron más susceptibles con respecto a machos 35.88% y de acuerdo a la edad los animales entre 19 y 24 meses obtuvieron 57.41% del parasitismo. La prevalencia de coccidiosis fue 60.56%, donde hembras con 69.87% ...

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with bovine fasciolosis in peasant communities of the Huancabamba province (Piura, Peru). In total, 360 samples of bovine faeces were collected in the districts of Huancabamba, Sondor, Sondorillo and Carmen de la Frontera. The stool samples were analysed using the Dennis sedimentation technique. Association of the presence of Fasciola hepatica eggs in the stool with the, sex and district of origin of the animals was evaluated. The results showed that 42.5% (95% CI: 37.3-47.8%) of animals were infected with F. hepatica. The highest probability of contracting fasciolosis in cattle was in the age group of 13-18 months (PR: 2.56; 95% CI: 1.51-4.28) and from the Sondorillo district (PR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.04-1.94); Furthermore, being male was considered a protection factor (PR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.53-0.90). The study showed a h...
