Determinación de la prevalencia de neosporosis bovina e identificación de la presencia de caninos como factor de riesgo en las ganaderías del cantón Loja

This research was developed in the herds in urban and rural parishes of the Canton Loja, It lasted five months, during which the collection and identification of 650 blood samples from female old cattle in 141 farms. Subsequently obtaining sera, serological diagnosisof bovine Neosporosiswasconducted, whose data was proceeded to estimate prevalence of disease which was executed by ELISAc,(Competivo linked immunosorbent assay Enzyme) 46 canine fecal samples were collected. At the ranches where positive results were obtained by cELISA , which were analyzed by the method coproparasitario (method of stools )from Faust in order to identify the oocysts of the parasite Neosporacaninum. Statistically the association between exposure to the presence of canines (risk factor) and the presence of the disease was determined. The prevalence of bovine Neosporosis in the city was calculated resulting in 22.31%, and the 45.39% of the ranches have been affected the 28.26% of such stool samples were identified parasitic forms similar tooocysts of Neosporacaninum. Statistical analysis allowed to obtain values of p = 0.0005 (Chi square) and p = 0.0007 (Fisher's exact test) under p = 0.05, OR = 3.3764 and demonstrating that there is more increased risk of disease in farms when they are exposed to the risk factor than in farms where this factor is absent.
