Finalmente, se identificó la necesidad de garantizar la disponibilidad de pruebas diagnósticas para la Equinococosis quística y canina, continuar trabajando para la implantación del plan de prevención y control de esta zoonosis en Perú, continuar con la colaboración establecida con Uruguay para el suministro de reactivos, consultar con la OMS/OPS sobre la posibilidad de que Perú integre el proyecto subregional Cono sur de control y vigilancia de la Equinococosis quística, e invitar al Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria (SENASA-Perú) para que contribuya con recursos humanos y logísticos al proyecto.

The project’s primary purpose was to strengthen the capacity of Peru’s Health System within the framework of the Pan American Health Organization’s Subregional Project for Monitoring and Control of Echinococcosis. The Subregional Project includes countries like Argentina, Brasil, Chile and Uruguay, and places special emphasis on developing capacity to use the coproELISA method, which is designed to prevent and control the Equinococosis granulosus among canines in areas at risk. This activity would focus on applying that method in Peru. Workshops, trainings, as well as other activities were successfully carried out and the project resulted in the following tangible products: a design for a project/program for the Prevention and Control of hydatid disease in Peru; standard diagnostic lab techniques for the epidemiological surveillance of the disease; and a plan of action between the National Institute of Health in Perú, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of San Marcos and the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Perú; and a kit was assembled for the detection of the copro-antigen was created along with an agreement of inter-laboratory cooperation. Diagnostic tests for the cystic and canine Echinococcosis should continue in order facilitate the implementation of the Prevention and Control Plan in Peru. It is also important for Peru and Uruguay to continue strengthening relations in order to guarantee the supply of necessary reagents. Furthermore, it is important to promote the involvement of the National Agrarian Health Service (SENASA-Peru) so that this governmental body can also contribute human and logistics resources to the process.
