    Factores de riesgo que influyen en la frecuencia de brucelosis bovina en hatos del Azuay, Ecuador
    (2022) Ramonez Cardenas, Marco Alberto
    Bovine brucellosis (BB) is a highly transmissible and zoonotic infectious disease (Paucar et al., 2021). In Ecuador, risk factors such as the location of livestock, sanitary, nutritional and reproductive management keep the disease active and endemic with a prevalence of 17% (Carbonero et al., 2017). This disease has a significant economic impact, with annual losses in the country estimated at 5.5 million (Rodríguez et al., 2015). Despite its importance, in Ecuador there is little or no information on the factors that contribute to the presence and spread of BB. Due to the above, the irrigation factors that influence the presentation of the BB, in cattle farms of the province of Azuay, Ecuador, were analyzed.

    Frecuencia y referenciación geográfica de muestras de leche positivas a brucelosis en fincas del Azuay
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-04-01) Mainato Aguayza, Edison Alfonso; Ramónez Cárdenas, Juan Carlos
    Brucellosis is a disease caused by Gram negative coccobacilli bacteria of the genus Brucella of a zoonotic nature that causes abortions, infertility, metritis, neonatal mortality among other complications, especially affecting mammals including man. The objective of this work was to generate georeferenced information on farms seropositive to bovine brucellosis in the province of Azuay by using the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in raw milk samples obtained from 153 farms that supply the Parmalat company for the creation of epidemiological maps and collection routes, subsequently the relationship between seropositivity with respect to risk factors was evaluated: origin of the replacement animals, reproduction system and origin of the drinking water of the animals . The results obtained showed that there is a relative frequency of 7.8% of positives (12 farms). In the analysis of the relationship between the elements (p> 0.05) it was found that the only risk factor that has a significant relationship is the origin of the replacement animals, concluding that the use of the indirect ELISA test in milk in conjunction with programs georeferencing allows us to obtain efficient, rapid diagnoses at low costs and with great epidemiological utility.
