PARÁSITOS ZOONÓTICOS ASOCIADOS A PERROS Y GATOS 🧫✨

Los parásitos zoófitos presentes en perros y gatos constituyen un riesgo directo para la salud pública al poder transmitirse a los humanos por contacto directo, ingestión accidental de huevos o vectores intermedios.

Entre las principales zoonosis parasitarias se incluyen larva migrans visceral y cutánea, toxocariasis, giardiasis y dipilidiasis. Para el médico veterinario, la identificación, diagnóstico oportuno y planes sistemáticos de desparasitación son esenciales dentro de las estrategias preventivas, especialmente en hogares con niños, inmunocomprometidos o alta densidad de animales.

La vigilancia, educación del tutor y el enfoque “Una Sola Salud” sustentan la prevención efectiva y la reducción del riesgo zoonótico.

An analysis of commercial raw cat foods detected disease-causing microbes, including some that are resistant to antibiotics, creating risks for both pets and their owners, according to a new study.

“Most of these products have no warning labels on them showing that the meat ingredients are not fully cooked, indicating that they could harbor live bacteria and potentially viruses and parasites that would make a family very sick,” said Laura Goodman, Ph.D. ’07, assistant professor in the Department of Public and Ecosystem Health and in the Baker Institute for Animal Health in the College of Veterinary Medicine. “Particularly for the freeze-dried products sold on shelves, consumers likely have no idea they are taking on that risk.”

Multiple pathogens found in raw cat foods

Salmonella, cronobacter, pseudomonas, klebsiella, clostridium and E. coli were found in raw and partially cooked foods for cats, and some strains were antibiotic-resistant, presenting risks for cats and cat owners, researchers reported in Communications Biology. Pathogens were found in frozen, freeze-dried and refrigerated products; most had no warnings on their labels; and some salmonella strains genetically matched those associated with human salmonellosis cases. Moreover, DNA analyses found differences between actual and listed ingredients in some products.

🐕 A group from The RVC, alongside eight international counterparts, have developed new evidence-based antimicrobial use guidelines for veterinary practitioners treating canine pyoderma (bacterial skin infections in dogs). These new guidelines are designed to reduce inappropriate antimicrobial use and aid canine welfare, as well as support Antimicrobial Stewardship against antimicrobial resistance so that medicines can be effective for many years to come.

ESTUDIA VETERINARIA, TOTAL, SOLO ES ABRAZAR PERRITOS

Muchos creen que la veterinaria es solo abrazar y besar perritos, pero detrás de esta profesión hay mucho más.
Es desvelarte estudiando, aprender a leer radiografías, interpretar análisis, reconocer síntomas y actuar rápido cuando una vida depende de ti.

La veterinaria es ciencia y también corazón. Es estar en la clínica cuando todos celebran, es cargar con decisiones difíciles y aún así levantarte cada día con la convicción de ayudar. Es saber que con tu trabajo proteges no solo a los animales, sino también a las familias y a la salud pública.

Claro que abrazamos y consentimos a los perritos, pero también somos quienes están ahí cuando están enfermos, quienes luchan contra epidemias, quienes cuidan la inocuidad de los alimentos y quienes asumen la responsabilidad de salvar vidas.
La veterinaria no es un juego: es amor convertido en conocimiento, compromiso y servicio.
