Presence of Histoplasma capsulatum in faeces of homing pigeons and rock pigeons in Lima, Peru

Descripción del Articulo

The fungus Histoplasma capsulatum is the causative agent of histoplasmosis, disease of public health importance. The aim of this study was to determine its presence in faeces of domestic pigeons (Columba livia) in the city of Lima, Peru. Faecal samples (n=245) were collected, processed and cultivate...

The aim of this study was to determine its presence in faeces of domestic pigeons (Columba livia) in the city of Lima, Peru. Faecal samples (n=245) were collected, processed and cultivated in Sabouraud agar at 37 and 28 °C for 2 to 4 weeks approximately. The colonies were identified by macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. Only 0.41% (1/245) of samples were positive to H. capsulatum, while the beta-pert (@Risk) stochastic simulation showed a minimum prevalence of 0.369% and a maximum prevalence of 0.451%.El hongo Histoplasma capsulatum es el agente causal de la histoplasmosis, enfermedad de importancia en salud pública. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar su presencia en las heces de palomas domésticas (Columba livia) en la ciudad de Lima, Perú. Se recolectaron muestras de excretas de 245 palomas de Castilla y palomas mensajeras. Las muestras fueron sembradas en agar Sabouraud e incubadas a 37 y a 28 °C durante 2 a 4 semanas aproximadamente, y las colonias fueron identificadas por sus características macroscópicas y microscópicas. El 0.41% (1/245) de las muestras fueron positivas a H. capsulatum, en tanto que el programa de simulación estocástica beta-pert (@Risk) determinó una prevalencia mínima de 0.369% y máxima de 0.451%.Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria2017-10-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/veterinaria/article/view/1334810.15381/rivep.v28i3.13348Revista de Investigaciones Veterinarias del Perú; Vol. 28 Núm. 3 (2017); 636-641Revista de Investigaciones Veterinarias del Perú; Vol. 28 No. 3 (2017); 636-6411682-34191609-9117reponame:Revistas - Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstname:Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstacron:UNMSMspahttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/veterinaria/article/view/13348/12259Derechos de autor 2017 Yurie Arias Guerrero, Siever Morales Cauti, Eglinton Villacaqui Ayllonhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.csi.unmsm:article/133482017-12-19T16:57:14Z
