Prevalence of coccidia in backyard chickens of Salamanca (Guanajuato, México)
The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of coccidia in chickens from a Mexican municipality. Samples from 97 birds were collected in 17 locations and data regarding number of chickens per location, feeding type, cause of death, seasonal concentration of deaths, and parasitic control...

Sahagún, C A. Avila, R A. Chicken eimeria sp prevalence parasite control Pollo eimeria sp prevalencia control parasitario The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of coccidia in chickens from a Mexican municipality. Samples from 97 birds were collected in 17 locations and data regarding number of chickens per location, feeding type, cause of death, seasonal concentration of deaths, and parasitic control of the 40 units visited. The presence of Eimeria sp oocysts was detected in 65 samples with a prevalence of 67.01%, with low, medium and high infestation levels (46, 10 and 9 cases). There was correlation between females versus parasite control (p≤0.05), levels of oocysts vs cause of death (p≤0.05), and male vs period of death (p≤0.05). Odds ratio indicates that females were more susceptible than the males to get coccidia (1.87, p=0.1883). It can be concluded that the prevalence of coccidia in chickens of backyard units in Salamanca is high, and that it is related to the control of parasites, time of the year, and sex of the birds. In addition, females were more susceptible to infestation compared to males. El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la prevalencia de coccidios en pollos de un municipio mexicano. Se tomaron muestras de 97 aves en 17 localidades y se recabaron datos para conocer la cantidad de aves por unidad, el tipo de alimentación, la causa de muerte, la época de mayor mortalidad y la realización de controles antiparasitarios en las 40 unidades visitadas. Se confirmó la presencia de ooquistes de Eimeria sp en 65 muestras, con prevalencia del 67,01% y niveles de infestación bajos, medios y altos (46, 10 y 9 casos). Hubo correlación entre hembras versus control de parásitos (p≤0,05), nivel de infestación versus causa de muerte (p≤0,05) y machos versus época de muerte (p≤0,05). El odds ratio indicó que las hembras son más susceptibles que los machos a contraer coccidios (1,87, p=0,1883). Se concluye que la prevalencia del protozoario en aves de unidades de traspatios en Salamanca es alta y está relacionada con el control parasitario, la época del año y el sexo de las aves. Además, comparadas con los machos, las hembras fueron más susceptibles a contraer coccidios.
