Prevalência de endoparasitas com potencial zoonótico em fezes de cães domiciliados em Bom Jesus-PI por meio de duas técnicas de avaliação parasitológica / Endoparasites prevalence with zoonotic potential in dogs stool domiciled in Bom Jesus-PI through two technical assessment parasitological

This work was carried out between the months of May to June 2015, were collected stool sample of 25 dogs domiciled in different districts of Bom Jesus city with the objective of establish the frequency of gastrointestinal helminths with zoonotic potential. It is known that importance of estimating infections with gastrointestinal nematodes in the canine population because being a given a lot of relevance to veterinary clinicians who can use this information to guide owners on educational measures to reduce the risks of exposure to intestinal parasites, potentially causing zoonoses. From 25 stool samples processed by the Willis's method, 68% were positive for gastrointestinal helminths and centrifugal flotation technique in zinc sulfate there was obtained positivity percentage of 60%. This work draws attention to the high index of domestic dogs infected with gastrointestinal helminths.(AU)

Influência de fatores de manejo sobre as taxas de infecção por coccídios em suínos abatidos na região metropolitana do Recife e zona da mata do estado de Pernambuco, Brasil / Influence of management factors on the levels of coccidian infection from swine slaughtered in the metropolitan region of Recife (MRR) and zona da mata (ZM) of Pernambuco state, Brazil

Objetivou-se, neste estudo, avaliar a influência de fatores do manejo instituído nas propriedades de origem sobre as taxas de infecção por coccídios em suínos de abatedouros da Região Metropolitana do Recife e da Zona da Mata do estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Analisaram-se as fezes de suínos de abatedouros, no período de julho de 2008 a maio de 2009, totalizando 447 suínos, oriundos de 11 proprieda- des de municípios do estado de Pernambuco, sendo oito propriedades de granjas tecnificadas e três de subsistência. Amostras fecais foram coletadas da ampola retal na linha de inspeção das vísceras e submetidas à contagem de oocistos por grama de fezes. Realizou-se a aplicação de um questionário investigativo para conhecer a situação das granjas. A presença de cocistos de coccidios foi detectada em 6,5% (29/447) das amostras analisadas. Eimeria spp + Isospora suis foram diagnosticadas em 1,3% (6/447) e Eimeria spp em 1,6% (7/447). Obteve-se associação significativa (P < 0,05) entre os sistemas de manejo e a ocorrência de coccídios. Os aspectos relativos à higiene nas propriedades apresentaram-se como fatores importantes nos níveis de infecção, principalmente nas granjas de subsistência.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the management factors administered in the properties on rates of infection by coccidia in swine in slaughterhouses located at the Metropolitan Region of Recife (MRR) and Zona da Mata (ZM) of Pernambuco State, Brazil. In the period from June 2008 to May 2009 a total of 447 fecal samples from slaughterhouses were collected directly from the animals and the parasitological examinations were carried out by counting of oocysts per gram of feces, from 11 properties from cities of the state of Pernambuco, being eight of technologically qualified farms and three of subsistence. A questionnaire survey was also carried out to identify the management condition of each farm. Oocysts of coccidia were detected in 6.5% (29/447) of the samples analyzed in the study but in 3.6% of these samples, only the coccidian infection was recorded without identification of genus. The Eimeria spp was present in 1.6% (7/447) and mixed infections (Eimeria spp and Isospora suis) were recorded in 1.3% (6/447) of the samples. According to the results, significant association (P <0.05) was observed between management systems and the coccidian infection. In conclusion, farm management systems related to hygiene control seems to be an important factor in the levels of coccidian infection, particularly in subsistence farms.
