Item Open Access Prevalencia de brucelosis (brucella abortus) en vacas en producción lechera en el cantón Espejo(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador Sede Ibarra, 2017-01) Acosta Cifuentes, Andrea EstefaníaThis research aims to "Determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with bovine brucellosis in cows in milk production in the canton of Espejo province of Carchi". For the prevalence, the Milk Ring Test (PAL) was used, which allowed the determination of positive plants to later apply the Buffered Plate Antigen ("BPA") technique to the animals, and later to confirm the results of positive animals by competitive ELISA CELISA), which was performed in a private laboratory certified by AGROCALIDAD for the diagnosis of brucellosis. The prevalence according to the population of animals of the Canton Espejo determined a value of 2.17 % (8/369) through competitive ELISA. At UPAS level, the prevalence obtained was 5.56% (5/90) through PAL. The parish 27 of September was the territory with greater presence of brucellosis resulting 7.6% and secondly the parish La Libertad with a seroprevalence of 7.4 through competitive ELISA. Chi square was determined statistically significant between the relationship of seropositivity with: leasing nearby paddocks, incorporate animals from feria to their herds and the history of abortion. The socialization to the ranchers determined that 77.27% (17/22) will apply a health program to their herd to avoid the spread of the disease.
