ALBERCA, Vilma; LEON, Daphne  e  FALCON, Néstor. Keeping backyard animals and evaluation of knowledge and practices associated with exposure to zoonotic agents in La Coipa, Cajamarca, Peru. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.3, e18733. ISSN 1609-9117.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rivep.v31i3.18733.

The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of keeping backyard animals and to describe the knowledge and practices associated with exposure to zoonotic agents among residents of the La Coipa district, Cajamarca, Peru in 2019. A cross-sectional study was designed based on a survey to collect information of the ownership, type and number of animals, as well as knowledge and practices related to exposure to zoonotic agents. In total, 280 people from urban areas (46.4%) and rural areas (53.6%) were interviewed. It was reported that 66.8% had poultry, 28.6% guinea pigs, 20.7% equines, 15.7% pigs, 2.5% bovines and 0.7% rabbits, their main utility was self-consumption, except for equines that were used as draft animals. Knowledge about the animal involved in the transmission of cysticercosis was high (75%), but it was low for fascioliasis (10.4%) and hydatidosis (1.1%). Besides, 11% said that they have seen hydatid cysts in animal viscera, 59.6% cysticercosis in pig meat and 10.4% fasciola in livers. The removal of organs or affected meat was the most frequent practice. There is a perceived need to train animal breeders to maximize production and decrease the risk of exposure to zoonoses.
