    CARACTERIZACIÓN MICROBIOLÓGICA DE PLASMODIUM SPP. Y DISEÑO DE UNA ESTRATEGIA DE INTERVENCIÓN COMUNITARIA

    Malaria is a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium that are transmitted through the bite of a female mosquito of the genus Anopheles. Within this genus we find four species of great health interest, which are P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae and P. falciparum; The latter is the one that generates the most complications in humans. The primary objective is to microbiologically characterize Plasmodium spp. For the determination of malaria in peripheral smear samples from the residents of the Domingo Playa community in the province of Orellana, the methodology used in this study is a descriptive and observational cross-sectional type with a nonexperimental quantitative approach because no modifications were made. the variables under study by the researcher the results obtained from the 60 participants of the sampling corresponding to 100%, 48% belong to the male population and 52% to the female sex, for the analysis the positive cases are taken as reference, with sex predominating male with 57%, while 43% are female, of which 100% are indigenous, 73.3% of patients who came to undergo the study in the Domingo Playa community tested positive through thick smear analysis and 26.7% reflected negative results, 9.1% of them presented Plasmodium falciparum, while the parasite that predominated was Plasmodium vivax in 90.9% of the total of 44 patients positive for malaria and aged between 20-24 years, in conclusion the risk factors were determined, which found that 25% of the patients do not present any type of risk, 43.3% of the participants live near the river, while 16.7% lack an awning 10% do not have coverage and 5% maintain constant trips, so they are autochthonous cases, all of the above are risk factors for malaria contagion. In a globalized world, diseases have no borders, so the fight against malaria must be done jointly to allow for strategies to eradicate malaria

    COINFECCIÓN DE HELICOBACTER PYLORI Y ENTEROPARÁSITOS EN TAXISTAS DE LA CIUDAD DE AMBATO, FACTORES DE RIESGO ASOCIADOS
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud / Centro de posgrados, 2024-09-03) Cajo Andrango, Andrés Isaac; Vilcacundo Córdova, Mario Fernando
    Coinfection involves two or more microorganisms colonizing the same host; When the Helicobacter pylori bacteria and enteroparasites share the same host, they cause a negative impact on health. These two microorganisms are among the main infectious agents that cause intestinal problems throughout the world. They justify part of the consultations for chronic abdominal pain. They are generally associated with risk factors such as: hygiene habits, age, geographical area, living conditions. Vehicle drivers are subject to the risks of driving itself and also to various problems that arise and alter their health system; gastrointestinal disorders are among one of the main conditions. The objective was to analyze cases of coinfection between Helicobacter pylori and enteroparasites in taxi drivers in the city of Ambato with their associated risk factors. The research had a mixed approach of correlational, transversal and prospective nature. When analyzing the results of the total sample, there was a high frequency of people infected by any of these microorganisms. Of these cases that presented infection, a high percentage had coinfection with both infectious agents; When performing the Chi Square correlation statistical analysis, a statistically significant value was obtained that indicates that there is a correlation between these two microorganisms; Regarding the associated risk factors, lack of knowledge and poor hygiene practices were the main factors that could be evidenced in this study. At the end of this investigation, it was clarified that there is a significant correlation of coinfections caused by Helicobacter pylori and enteroparasites in taxi drivers in the City of Ambato. In addition, a workshop was held with the participants as a preventive contribution, which is why it is of great importance to carry out workshops as strategies to improve health status.
