          Abstract

          Objetivo. Determinar la presencia de Helicobacter spp., en úlceras gástricas en caballos. Materiales y métodos. Se utilizaron 40 caballos, 28 machos y 12 hembras, (4-17, años). Se analizó en forma descriptiva la frecuencia de presentación de bacterias tipo Helicobacter spp., mediante las pruebas de ureasa (TU), tinción de Gram directo (GD) y tinción de Whartin Starry (WS), las bacterias se identificaron por su morfología y por su actividad sobre urea. Se consideraron las variables del total de animales, zona anatómica, sexo y edad. Resultados. Se encontraron bacterias tipo Helicobacter spp. El 65% de los caballos fueron positivos al test de ureasa, el 75% fueron positivos a la tinción de Whartin Starry y el 50% resultaron positivos a la tinción de Gram directo. Sólo el 62.5 % de animales fueron positivos en 2 pruebas (TU y WS), mientras que el 50% fueron positivos en 3 pruebas (TU, WS y GD). El 22.5% de los animales resultaron negativos a todas las pruebas. El 100% de las muestras positivas correspondieron a la mucosa glandular, principalmente a nivel del fundus y pocas del antro gástrico. Las bacterias fueron encontradas en todos los grupos etáreos y en ambos sexos, se observó mayor positividad en los machos a dos pruebas o más. Microscópicamente se demostró la presencia de bacterias curvo-espiraladas compatibles con Helicobacter spp., el test de ureasa fue moderado, un escaso número de muestras positivas mostró una alta cantidad de bacterias con la tinción de Whartin Starry. Conclusiones. Se hallaron bacterias con morfología compatible con Helicobacter spp., presentes en las úlceras gástricas de caballos.

          Objective. To determine the presence of bacteria type Helicobacter spp., from gastric ulcers in horses. Materials and methods. Fourty horses, 28 males and 12 females (4- 17, years) were included. The frequency of presentation of bacteria like Helicobacter spp, was analyzed in descriptive form by means of the urease test UT), Gram (GS) stain and whartin-starry stain. Variables considered were the total of animals, anatomical (gastric segment of the mucous one) area, sex and age. Results. It was found the presence of bacteria like Helicobacter spp., the 65.0% of the horses were positive to urease test, 75.0% of the horses were positive to the whartin-starry and 50% to Gram stain. Only 62.5% of the animals were positive in both tests (urease test and whartin starry); meanwhile, 50.0% were positive in three tests (urease test, whartin starry and gram stain). 22.5% of the animals were negative in all tests. All of the positive samples were taken in the glandular mucous, mainly at the level of the fundus and hole gastric. Bacteria were found in all studied groups and both sex, major positivity was observed in males to two tests or more. From microscopic point of view it was observed shape curve spiral bacteria compatible to Helicobacter spp. Ureasa test was moderate, un few positive specimens showed high number of bacteria by using Whartin Starry stain. Conclusions. The bacteria Helicobacter spp., were present in the gastric ulcers of horses.

          The incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection.

          Acute Helicobacter pylori infection invariably passes undetected. Consequently, the incidence of infection has been determined indirectly from epidemiological studies. In adults of industrialized countries, an estimated 0.5% of the susceptible population becomes infected each year. This incidence has been decreasing over time. Thus, adults who currently harbour the organism are more likely to have been infected in childhood than adulthood. The incidence of H. pylori infection continues to be high (between 3% and 10% per year) in developing countries. Throughout the world, incidence of H. pylori infection appears to be higher in children than in adults, possibly due to lower standards of personal hygiene in younger populations.

            Gastric ulcer development in horses in a simulated show or training environment.

            To determine whether conditions representing activities that are typical in the recreational use of horses, including transport to and from show grounds, stall confinement in unfamiliar surroundings, and light exercise, are associated with increased incidence of gastric ulcers in horses.
