Afegir etiqueta | Sumari: | The livestock sector in the highlands of El Oro province is consistently concerned about the presence of reproductive diseases that negatively impact its economy, as well as the lack of sanitary information regarding these conditions. In response to this need, an epidemiological study was conducted to assess the seropositivity of Neospora caninum in cattle from the Piñas canton, El Oro province. The study was observational and cross-sectional in design, aiming to determine the association between the disease and various variables. A sample of 100 slaughtered animals from the municipal abattoir was analyzed. The bovine population was stratified into subgroups based on age and origin. All sampled animals were females with a reproductive history. Laboratory analysis was carried out in Quito, at the Livexlab laboratory. Blood samples were subjected to serological analysis using a competitive ELISA test to detect the presence of antibodies against Neospora caninum. The results showed a serological frequency of 14%. Among the positive animals, 50% belonged to the Gyr breed and 21% to the Criollo breed. The highest percentage of positive cases was observed in four-year-old animals (28.57%). Additionally, 42.86% of the positive animals originated from Piñas canton, specifically from the areas of La Bocana, San Pedro, Piñas Grande, Capiro, and Piedras. No positive correlation was found between the presence of the disease and the analyzed variables. |
