RESUMEN
ABSTRACT
different age and sex (273 females and 357 males). The objetive was to obtain the
infection prevalence of Blastocystis spp and other intestinal parasites. The samples were
collected between 1994 and 1995. Diagnostic was done using the Microscopic Direct
observations of feces. The results shown 35,2% positive samples (222 specimen)
beloging 14,4% Ancylostoma caninum, 7,1%, Toxocara canis 4,4%, Blastocystis spp,
2,9%. Entamoeba histolytica and 2,2%, Coccidia spp. It was observed prevalence
increase on animals between 0-2 month and 6-11 month of age (45% and 47%
respectively), It is interesting indicate that Blastocystis spp increase with the age, while
the others parasites decreased with age. One possible explanation is losting or
decreasing of inmune response in old animals, inmunosupression or nutritional deficit.
In relation with sex, the females reached 56,5% and males 43,5%. In this study
we are making the first report of Blastocystis spp in canines from Lara state. It is
necessary the routine laboratory evaluation of this protozoo beside concentration
methods for succesful diagnostic of parasite.
