Abstract

Zoonotic bacterial diseases represent a great danger to public health, for which an analysis was carried out of all the research published in the last 10 years (2012-2022) in the 3 main scientific academic repositories on theses and other documents in Ecuador. A total of 18 investigations were found that showed that the disease that has been published the most in the last 10 years is canine Ehrlichiosis with 50% in relation to other diseases, as well as Guayas with 44.4% (8), continuing with Cotopaxi with 22.2% (4), these being the provinces with the highest number of investigations carried out, of which the majority of publications found were in 2018 and the most up-to-date investigation on zoonotic bacterial diseases (EBZ) was carried out in the year 2022. The highest frequencies found were Leptospirosis with 99%, followed by canine Ehrlichiosis with 77.5% in Guayas, canine Brucellosis with 30.46% in the province of Pichincha and Lyme with 2%. again in the province of Guayas. During the development of the present investigation in the aforementioned databases, no information was found on zoonotic bacterial diseases in the years 2012, 2013 and 2014. It is recommended that new investigations be carried out aimed at this type of disease and related to the problems found in public health in Ecuador.
