Resumen

Con el propósito de determinar la presencia de parásitos en heces y la secreción mucosa de 253 caracoles correspondientes al Sector El Limón, municipio Mario Briceño Iragorry, Maracay, estado Aragua. Fueron colectados (452) ejemplares de Achatina fulica check for this species in other resources quienes conformaron 12 grupos pertenecientes al estado Aragua y 2 al estado Portuguesa. Al analizar las muestras de heces resultaron positivos a huevos de Schistosoma mansoni el 8,70%, Trichuris check for this species in other resources spp. 2,77% y Hymenolepis check for this species in other resources spp. 5,93%,. Mientras que de los 90 caracoles A. fulica, procedentes del Sector La Pedrera, del municipio Girardot, Maracay, estado Aragua, en 10,42% se evidenció la presencia de larvas de Strongyloides check for this species in other resources spp. en heces y en 9,52% de los mismos, al evaluar la secreción mucosa. En la evaluación parasitológica de la secreción mucosa realizado a todos los grupos de caracoles A. fulica, tanto del estado Aragua como de Portuguesa, no se evidenció la presencia de larvas infectantes de Angiostronylus check for this species in other resources spp. Por otra parte, se constató la viabilidad de los huevos de S. mansoni, lo cual permitió demostrar el mantenimiento del ciclo biológico del parásito. Basados en los resultados obtenidos se concluye que A. fulica es una especie de importancia médica en Venezuela, por su valor como transportador mecánico de diferentes especies de helmintos y un indicador de las infecciones parasitarias en la población humana.

Abstract

In order to determine the presence of parasites in faeces as well as in mucous secretion of Achatina fulica check for this species in other resources snails (452) snails were collected. Twelve (12) groups from Aragua state and 2 from Portuguesa state were conformed. Of 253 evaluated snails corresponding to El Limón sector, Mario Briceño Iragorry municipality, Maracay, Aragua state, 8,70% turned out positive to eggs of Schistosoma mansoni check for this species in other resources , 2,77% Trichuris check for this species in other resources spp. and 5,93% Hymenolepis check for this species in other resources spp., when analyzing the faeces samples. Whereas for the 90 A. fulica snails from La Pedrera sector, Girardot municipality, Aragua state, in 10,42% was evidenced the presence of Strongyloides check for this species in other resources spp. larvae in faeces and in 9,52% of the same, when evaluating mucous secretion. The mucous secretion parasitological evaluation performed on every A. fulica snails groups, from Aragua state as well as from Portuguesa state, did not evidenced the presence of Angiostrongylus check for this species in other resources spp. infecting larvae. However, it was confirmed the viability of S. mansoni eggs, which demonstrated the maintenance of the biological cycle of the parasite. Based on the obtained results it is concluded that A. fulica it is a species of medical importance in Venezuela, due to it’s value as a mechanic transporter of different helminths species and as an indicator for parasitic infections within the human population.
