    Prevalencia de diabetes mellitus en perros mayores de 7 años con sobrepeso ICC>4
    (2016) Galarza Molina, Enmanuel Leonardo; Andrade Guzmán, Omar Santiago
    This investigation was conducted in the city of Cuenca, Province of Azuay, for determining the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) In dogs older than 7 years of age with ICC greater than 4, which was performed in 10 veterinary clinics, in 250 dogs, therefore a clinical examination was carried out, to verify signs associated with the disease (polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia y lethargic), a blood drop from the ear was obtained, which was analyzed in the glucometer to verify the levels of glucose, classifying them as hypoglycemic (<60mg/dl); normoglycemic (61-120 mg/dl); hyperglycemic (>121mg/dl). The hyperglycemic animals were associated with the symptomatology of DM. The percentages of the hypoglycemic animals were 26, 80% with an average of 55, 50 mg/dl and for normoglycemic 73, 20% with an average of 75 mg/dl. This data was determined by Kruskal Wallis testing, there is no statistically significant association between age and glucose levels (p>0, 05). With the same test, diet and glucose levels are associated (p>0, 05), consequently they are not significant. Signs like polyuria y polydipsia were present in 100 % of the patients, not with polyphagia and lethargic that are only demonstrated in 1, 2 % of the studied animals, with the test of Mann-Whitney, there is significance between glycemic and polyuria-polydipsia (p<0, 05) but not with polyphagia and lethargy which are not significant at performing the same test (p>0, 05). In conclusion, finding no hyperglycemic animals, a zero prevalence of diabetes mellitus is determined in the study population. Keywords: glucose levels, diabetes mellitus, glucometers, prevalence

    Seroprevalencia de brucelosis canina en refugios del cantón Cuenca y sus factores predisponentes
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-02-18) Galarza Alvarado, Tania Paulina; Andrade Guzmán, Omar Santiago
    Dogs from shelters can be carriers of infectious diseases transmissible to humans and other animal species because their health status is unknown. Hence, this work aims to determine the seroprevalence of canine Brucellosis in shelters in the canton cuenca and its predisposing factors. To this end, blood samples were obtained from 166 domestic dogs from five shelters, an epidemiological survey was carried out and a general clinical examination was carried out to determine predisposing factors to the presence of the disease. The samples were analyzed by immunochromatography, obtaining a total prevalence of 6%. Seroprevalence varied according to the shelter analyzed, with Refuge 3 being the most prevalent (13%), Refuge 4 (11%), and Refuge 1 (4%); shelters 2 and 5 had no B. canis positive cases. There was no associativity between the factors malnutrition, parasitized animals, canines of rural origin, animal welfare although there were differences in the prevalence of seropositive animals. As there were fewer than 5 cases in the distribution in factors such as estrus, pregnancy, abortion and offspring, it was not possible to establish associativity. The analysis of probabilities indicated that pregnancy (21.14), presence of offspring (11.77), abortion (10.13) and presence of estrus are the factors that could predispose to the presence of seropositive animals. This research shows the contact of dogs from shelters with the bacterium B. canis, constituting a risk to public health. Once the results were obtained through the immunochromatography test, the data were tabulated, related and analyzed according to the clinical history and epidemiological study of each of the 166 canines, in order to establish the prevalence and factors associated with brucellosis. Once the tabulated data of the surveys were correlated with those of the laboratory, finally, these results obtained from the research were defined; the statistical part was carried out by means of correlation tests, Odds Ratio, Chi square.
