Caracterización de un residuo orgánico de relevancia para la Salud Pública en la ciudad de San Carlos de Bariloche: excretas caninas.

Abstract

The present work arises from a bibliographic compilation of numerous research studies that have demonstrated the presence of zoonotic pathogens of canine origin transmitted by fecal matter in places frequented by people. The close link between pets and the human population creates the environment conducive to the emergence of parasitic and bacterial zoonoses. The need to implement educational campaigns that raise awareness among the population regarding responsible pet ownership and alert about the consequences of the zoonotic diseases transmitted by them is necessary. In turn, the local health authorities should conduct campaigns to reduce the amount of loose and uncontrolled dogs on public roads.
