| Descripción : | Swine cysticercosis is a parasitic disease transmitted by the cestodes Taenia solium and Taenia hydatigena. T. solium affects humans, which are a definite host for the disease, known as taeniasis-cysticercosis complex. This parasitic disease is known for its high impact in public health, showing significant prevalence of neurocysticercosis in comparison with other parasitic diseases that affect the central nervous system. The disease is distributed worldwide with Ecuador being considered an endemic region. Another pathogen that causes swine cysticercosis is the metacestode T. hydatigena, which has canids as definite hosts. It is important to point out that the presence of the two parasitic forms may cause important economic losses to livestock production due to the condemnation of contaminated carcasses. This research aims to determine the presence of swine cysticercosis caused by the cestodes T. solium and T hydatigena, in Tandapi parish. Blood samples were taken from 25 swines older than 3 months of age, without segregating for sex. Samples were analyzed in the Zurita and Zurita laboratory using ELISA RIDASCREEN tests. Only one sample had a positive result to the presence of antibodies directed against Taenia. It is important to mention the relevance of both parasitic species (T. solium, T. hydatigena) in this study, as the diagnostic test ELISA RIDASCREEN can present crossed reactions for both species. Using epidemiological survey questionnaires and direct observation surveys conducted in 13 producers, we could evaluate the possible risk factors for the presence of both Taenia species, evidencing higher percentile tendencies for risk factors associated with T. hydatigena. Another objective for this study was to determine the presence of symptomatology that may suggest the infection by Taenia spp. in humans. This was done by interviewing 13 producers regarding their hygiene habits, frequency of consumption of pork meat, its cooking methods, and presence of signs and symptoms that may suggest the occurrence of the disease. Results showed only one person that fit all the symptomatology for the disease, although we were not able to assess its origin and form of transmission. |
