ABSTRACT
The study described here was performed in a suburban community of the Estado de México to
Echinococcus spp, since a
human case of cystic echinococcosis (CE) was identified previously. Overall, 91% (406/446) of the houses were visited and
oral informed consent was obtained from dog owners; a questionnaire related to their dogs was applied and a coprological
sample was obtained. lt was found that 14% of dog owners fed them with raw livestock víscera. Coprological studies showed
that eggs of
Ancylostoma and
Toxocara were the most abundant, thus deworming was recommended to all owners. Dogs
with
Taenia spp eggs were treated and
Taenia pisiformis adults were released, not from
Echinococcus spp. Most sheep in the
community were studied by ultrasound and víscera of those slaughtered, were visual ly inspected; confirming the absence of
CE. lnterestingly, although no evidences of
Echinococcus spp were found in animals, an autochthonous human case of CE
was detected in 2006; this, added to proper practices for maintaining the lile cycle of this parasite, suggests that echinococcosis
in Mexico has a random behavioral pattern.
