Evaluación de técnicas coprodiagnósticas para Toxocara canis

Abstract: El estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la sensibilidad de técnicas coprodiagnósticas para determinar cuantitativamente la presencia de huevos de Toxocara canis en muestras de heces frescas de caninos. Para ello, se extrajeron huevos del útero de hembras adultas de T. canis obtenidas de cachorros caninos. Se utilizaron ocho concentraciones de huevos (10, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, 750 y 1 000 huevos por gramo de materia fecal – hpg), siendo considerados como el gold standard para determinar el grado de precisión de … Show more

“…Serial coproparasitological tests in dogs and cats are indicated to evaluate the effectiveness of antiparasitic agents and their frequency of use. The Kato-Katz technique is particularly easy to standardize in veterinary clinics or laboratories, in addition to being highly sensitive for Toxocara [61]. Monitoring the effectiveness of deworming through preventive coproparasitology carried out two to four times a year for puppies or kittens (<1 year old) and once or twice per year for dogs and cats (older than 1 year).…”

“…Diagnostic tests for Toxocara spp. in pets are fundamentally based on the microscopic examination of faeces to find eggs and analyse their morphology, using different coprodiagnostic techniques such as direct smear, Kato-Katz, MacMaster, and Faust (flotationsedimentation), among others [22]. However, other diagnostic tests have greater sensitivity and specificity, such as serological tests, ELISA to detect anti-Toxocara IgG antibodies, and molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot, that determine the larval TES antigen [23][24][25].…”
