Gastrointestinal helminths in sheepdogs in farmers communities of Puno, Peru

Gastrointestinal helminths in sheepdogs in farmers communities of Puno, Peru

The frequency of gastrointestinal helminths in sheepdogs of Ajoyani and Macusani districts in the province of Carabaya, and in the districts of Ocuvíri, Palca, Lampa, and Santa Lucía in the province of Lampa, Puno, Peru was determined. Stool samples were collected from 352 crossbreed dogs, mostly adults and apparently healthy, during January to March 2008. The coproparasitological evaluation was done by the methods of flotation with sugar solution or Sheather’s, and by the spontaneous sedimentation technique. Samples were preserved in both 10% formaldehyde and 2.5% bichromate. The resulted showed 20.5 ± 4.2% of dogs were infected with gastrointestinal helminthes. The frequency of dogs with eggs of Taenia was 14.5 ± 3.7%, Trichuris vulpis was 2.6 ± 1.7%, Capillaria sp was 0.9 ± 1%, while for Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, and Ancylostoma sp was 1.4 ± 1.2% each. Besides, the frecuency of Sarcocystis sp was 9.1 ± 3%, Entamoeba coli was 16.5 ± 3.9%, and Isospora sp was 11.9 ± 3.4%. Age, sex, and agro-climatic zone were not considered risk factors for gastrointestinal parasitism. Monoparasitism occurred in 90.9% of dogs with parasite infections. Analysis of samples preserved with 10% formaldehyde or 2.5% bichromate showed similar results and therefore both substances were considered moderately consistent and mutually replaceable according to the Kappa and Mc Nemar tests.

Se determinó la frecuencia de helmintiasis gastrointestinal en perros pastores de los distritos de Ajoyani y Macusani, provincia de Carabaya, y de los distritos de Ocuvíri, Palca, Lampa y Santa Lucía, provincia de Lampa, Puno, Perú. Se colectaron muestras de heces de 352 perros cruzados, mayormente adultos, y aparentemente sanos, entre enero a marzo de 2008. La evaluación coproparasitológica hizo por el método de Flotación con solución azucarada o de Sheather y por Sedimentación Espontánea. Las muestras colectadas fueron preservadas tanto en formol al 10% como en bicromato al 2.5%. El 20.5 ± 4.2% de los perros se encontró con algún tipo de helminto gastrointestinal. La frecuencia de animales con huevos de Taenia fue de 14.5 ± 3.7%, Trichuris vulpis de 2.6 ± 1.7%, y Capillaria sp de 0.9 ± 1%, en tanto que fue de 1.4 ± 1.2% para Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina y Ancylostoma sp. Asimismo, la frecuencia de Sarcocystis sp. fue de 9.1 ± 3%, Entamoeba coli de 16.5 ± 3.9% e Isospora sp. de 11.9 ± 3.4%. La edad, sexo y zona agroclimática no constituyeron factores de riesgo para el parasitismo de los canes. El monoparasitismo se presentó en el 90.9% de los perros que presentaron infecciones parasitarias. El análisis de las muestras preservadas con formol al 10% y Bicromato al 2.5% dieron resultados bastante similares y, por lo tanto, moderadamente concordantes y mutuamente reemplazables al ser evaluadas mediante la prueba de Kappa y Mc Nemar.
