RESUMEN

El objetivo fue identificar la prevalencia y algunos factores de riesgo asociados a la infección por Cryptosporidium spp. en becerras lactantes mantenidas en confinamiento en tres establos lecheros de Aguascalientes, México. Durante 12 meses se recolectaron 1658 muestras fecales de becerras de 0 a 28 días de edad, que se procesaron mediante frotis fecal teñido con Kinyoun para identificar la presencia de ooquistes del parásito. Se aplicó una encuesta para identificar diferentes características de manejo en los establos y se desarrolló el análisis de riesgos mediante regresión logística. La prevalencia general a la infección por Cryptosporidium spp. fue de 40%. El grupo de becerras de 8 a 14 días de edad presentó la prevalencia a la infección más elevada (81%), mientras que la más baja (21%) se observó en el grupo de 22 a 28 días de edad. Se identificaron como factores de riesgo a la infección por Cryptosporidium spp., al grupo de 8 a 14 días de edad (OR = 2.5; 95% CI 1.9 - 3.2, p ‹ 0.000); el uso de cama de aserrín (OR = 1.8; 95% CI 1.1 - 2.8, p ‹ 0.011); el recipiente de plástico de donde beben leche las becerras (OR = 1.4; 95% CI 1.1 - 1.7, p ‹ 0.000); el bajo nivel de inmunoglobulinas (OR = 1.8; 95% CI 1.1 - 2.9, p ‹ 0.009), y la atención de partos por parte de personal no especializado (velador: OR = 2.5; 95% CI 1.6 - 3.9, p ‹ 0.000; trabajador del área de recría: OR = 1.7; 95% CI 1.2 – 2.5, p ‹ 0.001).
