Abstract

Toxocariasis is an invasive, zoonotic and cosmopolitan disease, produced by the biological etiological agents Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati. The objective of this research is to give the value that this topic deserves for human health, by investigating its prevalence in Matilde Esther, Ecuador; It was carried out during the months of September-December 2021; 110 canines were investigated, evaluating the variables, ages, sexes, races, origin, type of feeding, related to the disease, randomly, without discrimination, considering the study, observational, epizootiological, non-probabilistic, applying a non-experimental, descriptive, prospective design, cross; The data were weighted through contingency tables, using the Chi square statistic, plus the SPSS statistical program, where the prevalence of parasites was demonstrated, facilitating their multiplication and development, increasing the risk of damage in humans, in a revealing and alarming.
