Taking into account that they include a great variety of arthropods that taxonomically belong to the subclass Acari (ticks and mites). The type Insecta (fleas) their importance lies in the fact that they transmit zoonotic diseases, sometimes causing skin lesions and inducing an immunopathological response in both pets and humans. In the case of pets, they can cause direct damage that can lead to death if their nutritional condition is deficient and the intensity of infestation is high. For collecting external parasites, the box technique was used, consisting of sprinkling methylcarbamate and then combing the area with a comb. The scraping process used additionally to obtain the mites, which consisted of applying vegetable oil to the affected area and scraping it with a scalpel #20; for the collection of ticks, it did manually with the help of anatomical forceps, the morphological classification was done with the use of the microscope. The results obtained were 69% positive for the presence of ectoparasites; three species of fleas were found: Ctenocephalides felis (42.69%), Ctenocephalides canines (29.45%), and Pulex irritans (2.81%), a species of ticks, Riphicephalus sanguineus (24.91%) and a species of mites, Demodex canines (0.14%), causing a social and environmental impact on the population that have pets and may cause a rupture of affective ties between master and pet. This study concluded that there is more proliferation of fleas concerning the other species, being more prevalent the infection in females and adult animals, which makes us think that there is a deficit of information on responsible pet ownership. |
