Percepción de los habitantes de la Región Metropolitana frente a la cotorra Argentina (myiopsitta monachus)
(Universidad de Chile, 2021)
La cotorra argentina es un ave invasora que se introdujo a través de su comercio como mascota en Chile. La cotorra argentina se ha establecido y dispersado exitosamente en la Región Metropolitana, zona que se considera un valioso “Hot Spot” de...
The monk parakeet is an invasive bird introduced by the pet market in Chile where it has established and successfully dispersed in the Metropolitan Region. This region is considered a biodiversity hotspot due its high levels of endemism and anthropic pressure. Due the imminent capacity of monk parakeets to produce negative impacts at sanitary, economic and environmental levels and upon native species in the areas where it establishes, it becomes crucial to concentrate efforts to mitigate their impacts through population control management. However, initiatives directed to control charismatic free-ranging species may be controversial. This controversy may become problematic for decision makers and may produce delay or inaction in management due opposition of organized pression groups. This conflict may be prevented through acknowledging and involving public opinion in the decision-making processes. Thus, the objective of this research was to gather citizen information to understand their perception towards the monk parakeet invasion and attitudes towards their management and further, to investigate sociodemographic differences and individual beliefs that influence their opinions. To assess this, 504 online interviews from citizens of the Metropolitan Region distributed through social media were analysed. Sympathy towards monk parakeets was, in general, high and greater among women and young people. Regarding impact perception, most interviewees recognizes that this species can produce negative environmental impact, but do not consider it a health or economic problem. On the other hand, the 70% of interviewees considered that a population control program is necessary, being this opinion stronger between men and people with higher educational level; and lower in people participating in animalist groups. Nonetheless, most interviewees oppose to population management through lethal control, being this opinion stronger in women, younger people and animalists. Further, the great majority reveal that the chosen control method would influence their decision to support these initiatives. In addition, more than 60% would support the eradication of parrots, if they caused damage to native species or if they transmitted diseases to humans or other animals. However, this support decreases considerably (26%) if the objective of this measure were to avoid economic damage generated by this species....

There is limited information about prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus (CoPS) strains in veterinary settings in Chile. The aim of this observational study was to identify and characterize CoPS strains from dogs, owners, veterinary professionals and surfaces from Universidad de Chile veterinary teaching´s hospital, assess their antimicrobial susceptibility, determine the presence of methicillin-resistant strains and to evaluate the genetic relationship among the strains. Veterinarians (n=24), surfaces (n=10), and healthy dogs (n=40) and their respective owners (n=40) were sampled for CoPS. Humans took their own sample from the nares, and dogs were sampled from nares and perianal mucosa. Isolates were identified by PCR, antimicrobial susceptibility was assessed by disk diffusion method and MIC. The presence of mecA gene was evaluated by polymerase chain reaction, and the genetic relationship among the strains was established by macrorestriction with SmaI and PFGE. A total of 45 strains of CoPS were obtained, eight from veterinary professionals, three from hospital surfaces, eight from owners and 26 from dogs. Nine of the strains were resistant to methicillin (20%), six of them isolated from veterinarians and all of them carry the mecA gene. Most of the strains (73.3%) were resistant to ampicillin, but a minor proportion of them was resistant to gentamicin (2.2%), cefoxitin (13.3%), to tetracycline (15.6%), to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (17.8%), to cefadroxil and ceftriaxone (20.0%) and to ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin (24.4%). However, an important percentage of the strains was resistant to clindamycin (33.3%) and to erythromycin (37.8%). Additionally, the CoPS isolated showed a high genetic diversity. This study suggest that veterinarians are in high risk of harboring methicillin-resistant CoPS, carrying statistically higher proportions than the owners, and our results provide evidence that clindamycin could be not an empiric alternative for CoPS in the analyzed hospital. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CoPS in veterinary settings in Chile, considering humans, pets and surfaces, particularly important in a ONE HEALTH context....

Atopic dermatitis is a high prevalence syndrome within the dermatological pathologies in dogs. Diagnosis can be challenging due to its nonspecific signs, as in pruritus, but an appropriate characterization context allows for a correct clinical diagnosis. To this date there is ongoing international progress in studies for understanding and treating this condition, while in Chile the database about this disease just comes from the association of retrospective studies such as Palavecino’s in 2016. Covering a span of 2823 clinical records between 2015 and 2018, today this work confirms and contradicts some of the statistic results in variables such as sex, age and breed. Comparison of works confirms imprecision between sex and atopy. Quite the contrary, there is a strong link to age. The p values (<0,0001) and odd ratio (1,03) confirmed that while the patient is still young, between 6 months and three years, the risk is 46% higher as compared with the study population. For the first time in Chile there is a comparison of breed popularity using the database from the National Pets Registry, obtained under Law Nº 20.285 on Access to Public Information, and it can be cross linked to the results in this and other works. While in literature the breed variable is expressed as a risk condition for atopy, this analysis did not obtain any significative values with the logistic regression model. Nevertheless, the highest tendency shows mixed-breed dogs as the most afflicted individuals, presenting data that hadn’t been previously considered for this condition and which validates breed dependency regarding the geographic location in which the analysis is being carried out....
