ABSTRACT

Triatoma infestans is one of the main domestic vectors of Chagas disease. Reports of wild habitat occurrences have recently increased. In Chile, after a successful elimination campaign of T. infestans domestic infestation, a sylvatic focus was reported in bromeliads in the metropolitan region. Here, we report a new focus of sylvatic T. infestans inhabiting rock piles in the Valparaíso region in central Chile. All T. infestans captured were nymphal instars living among the stones, which were inhabited by several mammal species, along with the sylvatic triatomine vector Mepraia spinolai. We found a prevalence of infection with Trypanosoma cruzi of 36.54 percent in T. infestans, similar to the previous report for sylvatic specimens from bromeliads. Sylvatic populations of T. infestans should be studied at different geographic scales to elucidate their role in the maintenance of the sylvatic transmission cycle of T. cruzi and their possible role in threatening the domestic elimination of this vector. This information should be used to re-design the control programs in Chile to avoid the re-establishment of the domestic cycle.

ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo es un estudio comparativo de las seis principales causas de consulta en el servicio de emergencia en dos hospitales cantonales de la provincia de Cotopaxi, en los cuales esperamos encontrar a las enfermedades diarréicas como la primera causa de consulta y las respiratorias como la segunda, en los centros de ssalud. Se revisaron los diagnósticos de las hojas de emergencia (formulario 008 MSP) qque se encuentran en los departamentos de estadística de los hospitales,. cuantificando las emergencias por diagnóstico y sacando las seis primeras causas de consulta, se procede a realizar el procentaje utilizando un ordenador personal 486 DX. Se revisaron 1271 hojas de emergencia en el Hospital de Salcedo y 1071 en el Hospital de Salcedo y 1071 en el Hospital de Pujilí, encontrándose en el Hospital de Salcedo: Heridas 28.16 por ciento, faringoamigdalitis 7.31 por ciento, EDA 5.43 por ciento, IRA 5.03 por ciento, politraumatismos 3.77 por ciento, EAT, 3.14 por ciento Hospital de Pujilí: Heridas 20.25 por ciento, Fariongoamigalitis 9.34 por ciento, EAT 7,27 por ciento, Politraumatismo 5.21 por ciento, IRA 3.93 por ciento, GEBA 3.53 por ciento. Observamos en el presente estudio que los accdientes se encuentra en el primer lugar de prevalencia y no así las enfermedades diarréicas y respiratorias que s.....
