The prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites (PGI) in domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus Schreber, 1775) for Havana, Cuba, was determined to reduce pets' public health risks. The prevalence value was calculated from the reports in “José Luis Callejas” Veterinary Clinic from Centro Habana municipality from 2014 to 2016 of assisted cats in that clinic from 2016 to 2018. 49.1 % of the investigated cats were positive for PGI. The prevalence of PGI in a domestic cat from 2014 to 2018 was 3.0 and 0.23 %, according to the feline population that attend the clinic (examine rate). The prevalence of PGI was also according to the official amount of domestic cats from 2014 to 2018 in Havana city by the Cuban Veterinary Authority. Entamoeba sp., Isospora sp., Ancylostoma sp., Toxocara sp., Dipylidium caninum (Linnaeus, 1758) Leuckart, 1863 and Trichuris felis (Diesing, 1851) Diaz-Ungria, ...

El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la evolución histórica y los canales enzoóticos de la seroprevalencia del virus de la enfermedad de Newcastle (VENC) en dos granjas de patos Pekín de la provincia Artemisa, Cuba. Se realizó un estudio epidemiológico observacional retrospectivo de la seroprevalencia del virus, basado en el diagnóstico serológico de una serie de tiempo de cinco años. Se determinó si la época del año constituía un factor de riesgo asociado a la seroprevalencia. Fueron definidos los canales enzoóticos de la seropositividad y medias geométricas del virus. Se evidenció mayor riesgo de seroprevalencia al VENC, con incremento a medida que transcurrieron los años. Los valores de las medias geométricas de los títulos de anticuerpos contra el virus estuvieron por encima del comportamiento habitual o canal enzoótico, en zonas de alerta y epizoótica...

Canine rabies is a current health problem, very important for public health, livestock production, and the economy. The objective of this research was to evaluate the Spatio-temporal distribution of canine rabies in the period 2009-2018 in Havana, Cuba. A descriptive, retrospective, passive, cross-sectional, observational study was conducted. For the statistical analysis, the Epidat software, version 3.1, based on a Microsoft Excel matrix, was used. The epidemiological indicators were determined: prevalence of cases, monthly time series, and cumulative trend of outbreaks. While, for the spatial analysis, the geographic coordinates were calculated from the centroid of each municipality. For visualization, the QGIS version 3.0.1 program and the GEOCUBA cartographic bases were used. The comparison of proportions was made for the positive cases between the peripheral and central areas, which...
