VETERINARIA46972018-08-02T23:06:17Z Diagnosis and control procedures of the parasites of canines and felines in 50 clinics in the metropolitan area of Costa Rica Prácticas de diagnóstico y control de parásitos de caninos y felinos en 50 clínicas veterinarias del área metropolitana de Costa Rica Bianque de Oliveira, Jaqueline de Oliveira, J.B. Calderón, S. Romero, J.J. In order to know current diagnosis and control procedures for gastrointestinal parasites (GIP) in canines and felines50 veterinarians working in the great metropolitan area from Costa Rica were interviewed. According to clinicians,GIP vary from very frequent (50.0%) to frequent (44%), and those considered most prevalent are: Ancylostomatids(82.0%), Toxocara sp. (80.0%), Dypilidium caninum (72.0%), Giardia sp. (70.0%), Coccidia (62.0%), Trichuris vulpis(30.0%), Capillaria sp. (2.0%) and Strongyloides stercoralis (2.0%). The diagnosis of GIP is based on a combina-tion of history, clinical signs and fecal analysis (28.0%). Direct microscopy of a single fecal sample is the most useddiagnostic procedure (84.0%). Clinical signs frequently associated by these veterinarians with GIP were hemor-rhagic diarrhea (76.0%), weight loss (70.0%) and anorexia (60.0%). We identified 18 and 4 deworming protocolsfor puppies/kittens and adults, respectively. Anthelmintic drugs are mostly used prophylactically (84.0%), which isindicative that deworming are not fecal examination-based. The results underlies inadequate diagnosis and controlpractices of small animal parasites, highlighting the need for further educational efforts directed at the veterinarycommunity emphasizing interrelationships between animal, human and environmental health. Con el objetivo de conocer los procedimientos de diagnóstico y recomendaciones para el control de parásitosgastrointestinales (PGI) de caninos y felinos, se entrevistó a 50 médicos veterinarios que laboran en el gran áreametropolitana de Costa Rica. De acuerdo con los clínicos, los PGI varían de muy frecuentes (50.0%) a frecuentes(44%); los considerados más prevalentes son: Ancylostomatideos (82.0%), Toxocara sp. (80.0%), Dipylidium cani-num (72.0%), Giardia sp. (70.0%), Coccidios (62.0%), Trichuris vulpis (30.0%), Capillaria sp. (2.0%) y Strongyloi-des stercoralis (2.0%). El diagnóstico de los PGI se hace con base en la asociación de historia, signos clínicos yexamen coproparasitológico (28.0%). La microscopía directa, con muestras de una única evacuación, es la técnicamás utilizada (84.0%). Los signos clínicos que más frecuentemente se asocian con los PGI son: diarrea sanguino-lenta (76.0%), pérdida de peso (70.0%) y anorexia (60.0%). Fueron identificados 18 protocolos de desparasitaciónpara cachorros, tanto de caninos como de felinos; mientras que para caninos y felinos adultos fueron identificados4 protocolos. Los productos antiparasitarios son mayormente utilizados con fines profilácticos (84.0%), sin elrespaldo de exámenes parasitológicos. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto prácticas inadecuadas dediagnóstico y control de los PGI de caninos y felinos, señalando la necesidad de realizar eventos de educacióncontinua sobre este tema de importancia para la salud animal, salud humana y salud ambiental.
