The prevalence and distribution of intestinal parasites (IP) were investigated in children from twopopulations different socioeconomic level, located the same area city Neuquen, inorder to evaluate their relationship with habitat conditions factors. Serial samplesof faeces anal scraping 126 between 2 14 years two sectors suburbanarea Neuquen (Sector I Sector II) analyzed. Data concerning andsocioeconomic parameters obtained by home visits an observational structured survey.Presence IP was...
Abstract Cystic echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato is one of the most important helminth zoonoses in world; it affects both humans and livestock. The disease endemic Argentina highly province Neuquén. Considerable genetic phenotypic variation has been demonstrated E. granulosus, ten different genotypes (G1–G10) have identified using molecular tools. may be considered a species complex, comprised stricto (G1–G3), equinus (G4), ortleppi (G5) canadensis (G6–G10). In...
Abstract Most human cystic echinococcosis (CE) cases worldwide are attributed to Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto ( s.s ), followed by the G6 and G7 genotypes. While E. s.s. has a cosmopolitan distribution, genotype is restricted areas where camels goats present. Goats primary livestock in Neuquén province Argentina been reported be responsible for significant percentage of CE cysts genotyped. In present study, we genotyped 124 infecting 90 CE-confirmed patients. was identified 51...
Introduction. Infant botulism (IB) is the most common form of human in Argentina. Our objective was to describe main aspects diagnosis and management patients with IB admitted pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods. Observational, descriptive, retrospective study. The PICU database 2005-2020 period used. Demographic variables, diagnostic methods, days conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV), non-invasive (NIV), length stay mortality upon hospital discharge were recorded. Results. In...
Summary Human and dog health are inextricably linked, although our relationship with dogs brings numerous benefits for well-being , it is known that they can transmit disease. Bariloche a Patagonian tourist city heterogeneous social composition. This study evaluates the population of free-roaming their intestinal parasites in relation to socioeconomic level city’s human population. Census areas were used as survey units, stratified three levels according status. The was estimated by walking...
The feral dog population from Tierra del Fuego (Argentina) has affected provincial sheep production, and is responsible for the decrease of 43 % stock. In addition, dogs preys on native fauna, especially guanaco (Lama guanicoe), a species protected by law. Except some data aforementioned impact, very little known about features in this region, such as distribution, abundance, diet, reproduction, health status, among others. Therefore, descriptive observational study was carried out period...
In many countries, urban areas are commonly contaminated with canine feces that spread parasites, a situation related to the natural and social environment. Dogs having free access public therefore constitutes health risk. Because in Patagonia there no records of city comparisons consider number free-roaming dogs local environmental socioeconomic characteristics, this study we analyse compare parasitoses two cities Rio Negro province, Argentina. Canine were collected from El Bolsón...
Background: The diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE), a worldwide zoonosis, is based primarily on epidemiology, imaging and complemented by immunodiagnosis. Results serology in human CE depend factors such as location genotype Echinococcus granulosus cyst. Serology no longer used our province due to previous poor results. Location cysts may influence immune response, since antigenic stimulus organ implantation. Antigenic variability between genotypes parasite could affect results...
