“…Una limitación sería el no haber muestreado más localidades, porque algunas son muy alejadas sin acceso o por el cambio de actividad económica. Hay otros métodos de diagnóstico cualitativo como el de sedimentación con sus variantes (Ticona et al 2010, Livia-Córdova et al 2021), Ritchie, Kato Katz (Jara et al 2018), este último es cuantitativo de uso humano, pero son de menor sensibilidad. Otro método de uso humano el "flukefinder", ha sido empleado en el diagnóstico cuali-cuantitativo, en encuesta parasitológica en Australia, con buenos resultados, se basa igualmente en el tamizaje de los huevos de F. hepatica por el tamaño (Kelley et al 2020).…”

La fasciolosis en ganado bovino del Perú es un importante problema en la industria pecuaria, porque ocasiona pérdidas económicas, es de amplia distribución y con zonas ganaderas endémicas; por tal razón se realizó el estudio, para determinar la prevalencia y los factores de riesgo en la región Arequipa. Se examinaron 1.838 muestras de heces, mediante la técnica del tamizado en mallas metálicas y el sedimento fue examinado bajo microscopio. Se entrevistó al propietario, para conocer las características de manejo de su ganado. Los datos fueron analizados por un modelo de regresión logística múltiple, para las variables se utilizó ANOVA para mostrar la significancia y el Odds Ratio fue calculado para los factores dentro de las variables, siendo de riesgo valores mayores a 1. La prevalencia de fasciolosis bovina en la región Arequipa fue moderada (34,65%) y la prevalencia por provincias fue de 70,30%, 61,98%, 32,05%, 12,91%, 12,71%, 3,57%, para Caylloma, Condesuyos, Islay, Castilla, Arequipa y Camaná, respectivamente. Los factores de riesgo de infección de Fasciola hepatica que mostraron significancia (p<0,05) fueron la edad de juveniles y adultos, el agua de consumo de acequia/río, la dosificación cada 6 y 12 meses y las localidades de Machaguay, Chuquibamba, Iray, Andaray, Canocota, Chivay, Coporaque, Ichupampa, Achoma, Maca, Cabanaconde, Polobaya, San José de Uzuña, Vítor, Mollendo, Huambo, La Joya, Viraco, Piaca y Pocsi. Los resultados del presente estudio permiten sugerir la implementación de un programa de control a través de capacitaciones, tratamiento periódico y mejora en el manejo del ganado.

“…On the other hand, based on research carried out in other regions of Peru and other countries, fasciolosis in both sheep and cattle occurs with high frequencies, probably due to the type of feed consumed, especially when the animals are raised in open, natural pastures or sown with alfalfa or other grasses (Jara et al 2018).…”

Influence of irrigation type in the prevalence of bovine fasciolosis, Cajamarca-Peru

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fasciolosis is a relevant zoonotic disease in the Peruvian Andes, it causes considerable economic losses by reducing cattle productivity and currently, resistance to anthelmintics is reported, so it is necessary to find new ways to comprehensively control this parasitosis. In this context, the objective of this study was to demonstrate the influence of the type of irrigation on the prevalence of bovine (Bos taurus) fasciolosis in dairy production units in the province of San Marcos, Cajamarca region, Peru. A total of 20 dairy cattle were introduced in two farms with different irrigation systems: traditional or flood irrigation (n = 10) and technified or sprinkler irrigation (n = 10). Starting in March and for ten consecutive months they were fed the rations produced on the farms and the prevalence of fasciolosis was monitored using the coproparasitological technique of natural sedimentation. In the livestock unit using flood irrigation, eggs excretion began in August, with a final prevalence of 60%; while in the livestock unit using sprinkler irrigation, the first cases were detected in September and the final prevalence was 20%. To the results, Fischer’s test determined that there was no association between the prevalence of the parasite and the type of irrigation (p=0.1698). The study suggests that the prevalence of fasciolosis in cattle fed rye-grass (Lolium perenne) / clover (Trifolium repens) grown with flood irrigation was higher than that of sprinkler irrigation; however, it is recommended to investigate with a larger number of samples and use more specific diagnostic methods.

“…A similar report showed a 42.3% (58/137) prevalence of F. hepatica in the Arequipa Region (Huanca district, Southern Peru), where the environmental conditions, including rainfall and RH, are lower than our study area [ 17 ]. Conversely, La Libertad (Pataz), located in northern Peru, has similar RH as our region, and the prevalence was 62.4% [ 18 ]. Therefore, considering these studies, we used coprological tests.…”

Prevalence, coinfection, and risk factors associated with Fasciola hepatica and other gastrointestinal parasites in cattle from the Peruvian Amazon

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and Aim: Extensive cattle rearing is a major source of economy for the inhabitants of the Amazon region of Peru. Milk and meat production is generally affected by the prevalence of various parasites, including hepatic and gastrointestinal parasites, as these products provide ideal conditions for parasitic growth. This poses a serious public health threat. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence, coinfection, and risk factors associated with the liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) and other gastrointestinal parasites in cattle from the Amazon region of Peru. Materials and Methods: Fecal samples obtained from 1450 bovine specimens were analyzed using flotation and sedimentation methods to identify parasites, including Eimeria spp., strongyle-type eggs (STEs), and F. hepatica. We collected information about the specimens, including age, sex, origin, breed, category, frequency of deworming, farm size, herd size, water sources, and rearing system by conducting simple inspections and interviewing owners. The data obtained were statistically evaluated using the Chi-square test (p < 0.05) to determine the association between the qualitative variables. We also calculated the odds ratio at a 95% confidence interval to identify the risk factors. Results: We observed that F. hepatica, Eimeria spp., and STEs were 45.6%, 39.8%, and 35.3% prevalent, respectively. We found risk factors related to distomatosis in the animals from Huambo, where the drinking water sources are mainly streams, ditches, and rivers, while the specimens from Valle Chico were predisposed to coccidiosis. Further, the risk factors related to the presence of STEs in feces were age (61–90 months), origin (Valle Chico), herd size (<50 animals), and type of extensive rearing. Furthermore, significant coinfection was observed between Eimeria spp. and STEs. Conclusion: The high percentages of parasites in cattle observed were related to epidemiological factors, such as the origin of the sample, water sources, age, herd size, and extensive breeding. Similarly, the presence of STEs was a risk factor for contracting coccidiosis. Our future goals include investigating these parasites using a larger sample size and identifying more risk factors using more sensitive and specific diagnostic tests. Keywords: cattle, Eimeria spp., Fasciola hepatica, gastrointestinal parasites, prevalence, risk factors.
