Prevalencia de Fasciola hepatica y Paramphistomidae en bovinos de doble propósito en una hacienda del trópico bajo andino colombiano Digeneos en bovinos de doble propósito del trópico bajo andino colombiano

Abstract: En muchos países la fasciolosis y paramfistomosis representan un grave problema para la salud del sector pecuario. En Colombia hay registros de ambas distomatosis en bovinos, de la mayoría del trópico alto andino, las cuales generan pérdidas económicas anuales cercanas a 40 000 000 000 COP. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la prevalencia de fasciolosis y paramfistomosis en vacunos de la hacienda La Candelaria, Caucasia (Colombia), y la presencia de caracoles hospederos intermediarios.

“…In Colombia, the existence of endemic zones of Fasciola spp. is recognized, including the departments of Boyacá, Antioquia, and Cundinamarca [10][11][12][13][14][15], and the annual economic losses are approximately $1927 million pesos (US$479,962) [16]. To control this disease, conventional diagnosis has been conducted based on the direct method of detection and egg count in fecal samples after the prepatent period of the parasitosis, where sedimentation techniques improve sensitivity but are not sufficient for early identification of fasciolosis, due to the difficulty of the interpretation of results due to factors such as the long prepatent period and irregular egg shedding [17,18].…”
