Resumen

Balantidium coli check for this species in other resources , es el único protozoario ciliado que parasita al hombre. Infecta diferentes animales, entre ellos al cerdo, el cual además es infectado por B. suis que es morfológicamente idéntico. Se plantea que el cerdo es la fuente de infección para el humano, existiendo controversias al respecto. Para determinar la prevalencia de Balantidium check for this species in other resources spp en cerdos y humanos, se estudiaron 72 cerdos, 60 criados en granjas, 12 criados domésticamente y 51 personas que los manipulaban. El estudio parasitológico se realizó mediante examen microscópico directo, métodos de concentración, cultivos y coloraciones especiales. Balantidium spp se identificó en 65% y 67% de los cerdos criados en granjas y domésticamente, respectivamente. También se detectó otros protozoarios y helmintos. No se encontró infección con Balantidium spp en los criadores de cerdos, sugiriendo que B. suis podría ser la especie que prevalece en este grupo de animales examinados.

Abstract

Balantidium coli check for this species in other resources is the only ciliated protozoan that infects humans. It can also infect pigs, these can also be infected by B. suis. which is morphologically identical to B. coli.. It has been suggested that pigs are the source for human infections, even though this remains controversial. To determine Balantidium check for this species in other resources spp prevalence in pigs and humans, we evaluated 51 pig farmers and 72 pigs: 60 farm-raised and 12 domestically bred. The parasitological study was performed by direct examination, concentration methods, cultures and specific stains. Balantidium spp was identified in 65% and 67% of farm reared pigs and domestically raised pigs, respectively. We also detected other protozoa and helminths. There was no Balantidium spp infection in pigs keepers, so we suggested that B. suis appears to be prevalent in these animals.
