Item Detección de parásitos intestinales con potencial zoonótico en hospedadores herbívoros silvestres cautivos(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025-12-05) Arboleda Franco, Catalina; Barbosa Vinasco, Hamilton Julián (Director); Peña Stadlin, Juliana (Directora)Intestinal parasite infections remain a major public health concern, particularly in developing countries where their prevalence is high. In wildlife, these organisms gain importance due to their potential role as zoonotic reservoirs, especially in captivity or ecotourism-related settings. This study analyzed fecal samples from six captive herbivorous wildlife species at the Cali Zoo Foundation: plains zebra (Equus quagga), mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque), lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris), blackbuck antelope (Antilope cervicapra), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and collared peccary (Pecari tajacu). Using direct smear, fecal flotation with Sheather’s solution, and PCR, Strongyloides spp. was identified in samples from zebra, deer, and antelope. Molecular analyses revealed prevalences of Blastocystis spp. (87.5%), Giardia spp. (75%), and Cryptosporidium spp. (37.5%). These findings confirm the presence of intestinal parasites with zoonotic potential in captive wildlife and highlight the importance of continuous health monitoring in managed wildlife populations.Item Intervenciones de fisioterapia para el manejo conservador y posquirúrgico de la lesión medular toracolumbar en caninos: revisión sistemática (2015-2025)(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025-12-04) Dominguez Murillo, Juan Camilo; Barbosa Vinasco, Hamilton Julián (Director)Physiotherapy interventions for the conservative and post-surgical management of thoracolumbar spinal cord injury in canines, addressing a problem that significantly affects the quality of life of these animals, there is a need to identify which are the most effective physiotherapy practices to recover the patient's mobility. The objective was to analyze the physiotherapeutic protocols applied in the treatment of acute spinal cord trauma, focusing on motor functional recovery. A methodology based on the PRISMA guidelines was used, reviewing 27 studies published between 2015 and 2024 that evaluated various therapeutic modalities. The results indicated that techniques such as hydrotherapy, electrostimulation and early mobilization showed success rates of up to 90.4% in functional recovery. However, a lack of standardization in physiotherapy protocols was identified, which limited the ability of veterinarians to apply evidence-based treatments. The conclusions highlighted the need to develop specific and standardized clinical guidelines that consider the particularities of each case, as well as the importance of integrating physiotherapy into treatment plans from the early post-injury stages, to this end, an algorithm was proposed that serves as a guide for the approach to thoracolumbar trauma in canines according to the classification of the injury and the type of management.
