Abstract:

Trypanosomiasis or Chagas disease is a serious public health problem and is considered to be among the top six diseases caused by parasites, is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), whose reservoirs are certain domestic and wild animals. The biological vector reduviid bugs or bugs are bloodsucking Triatomininos, the T. cruzi causes disability and irreversible organ damage in humans and a variety of mammals. In Ecuador has a prevalence of 1 to 4%. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of IgG antibodies to Trypanosoma cruzi in populations of the communities of Canton Loreto Orellana province during the months of March and April 2012, for which we used a descriptive study. Made in 12 communities of Canton Loreto, and the samples were processed and analyzed in the laboratory of Parasitology Thread (INSPI) of the city of Guayaquil, the results were obtained: 1 563 samples tested in children under 5-15 years age, of which 27 were reactive (1.73%) for IgG antibodies against T. cruzi by ELISA, of total 14 reactive samples were confirmed positive cases (51.85%) and 13 negative (48.15%) negative cases were verified by IFI where 10 samples found positive and 3 negative. In total 24 positive samples corresponding to 1, 54% seroprevalence in children studied. Among pregnant women were analyzed 61 samples of which 3 were reactive by ELISA, then 2 cases were confirmed positive by HAI and negative January 1 was confirmed as positive by IIF, registering a seroprevalence of 4, 92%. For these events is larger studies are needed in these areas as well as in the surrounding area and other areas of the country in order to reduce the prevalence of the disease in the country.
