Avian infectious anemia is a disease that is generally observed in young birds and is characterized by the presence of anemia and generalized atrophy of lymphoid tissues such as the thymus and the bursa of Fabricius. The objective of the work carried out was: To determine the prevalence of Avian Infectious Anemia disease in the province of Cotopaxi, through the use of ELISA-i test and the evaluation of possible risk factors associated with the infection. The present research project was carried out in the province of Cotopaxi, in the following cantons: Latacunga, La Maná, Pagua, Pujilí, Salcedo, Saquisilli and their parishes. In the first phase, a visit was made to the study area, and surveys were applied with necessary questions such as the number of animals, age, and sex. From the information obtained, a total of 456 backyard birds were sampled, extracting their blood from the brachial vein, the samples of the birds were evaluated with the Elisa-i CAV Avian Infectious Anemia test, the test had 5 plates of 96 wells each, which 4 wells were used for positive and negative controls respectively in each plate. Of the 456 samples that were submitted to the Elisa analyzer, 405 positive birds were identified, representing 88.8%, of which 117 are males and 288 are females, 51 negative birds represent 11.2%, the chi-square analysis identified that the dependent variable (age) is not significant for the disease to occur. However, it was shown that there is a relationship between the sex variable and the disease.
