Resumo: | Stray dogs are a problem for public health and animal welfare. The objective of this study was to estimate the population of stray dogs in two cities in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, Pinhais and Campo Magro, to subsidize future interventions and evaluate the methodology. The area of the municipalities was divided into quadrants of approximately 1km² each, which were colored with 4 colors. By random sampling, quadrants were selected for counting dogs seen on public roads. Pairs of volunteers were conducted to register the animals using the Strays ID® application, including geographic coordinates, fotos and sex. Concomitantly, to define the degree of guardianship of each dog, a questionnaire was applied to the citizens. The data were compiled in the Excel program and the estimate was generated by the Survey package of the R program. In Pinhais, the estimate was 1428 dogs (from 388 to 2468, with a CI of 97.5%), more males (54%) than than females (34%) and undefined (12%). In Campo Magro, the estimate was 480 dogs (from 267 to 692, with a CI of 97.5%), also with more males (n=153, 64%) than females (27%) and undefined (9%). The predominance of males corroborates the literature. Regarding the degree of guardianship, there was a percentage of 43% in Pinhais and 47% in Campo Magro of stray dogs without an owner, a value above that observed in previous studies. The study was efficient in for define intervention priority and the methodology proved to be simple and easy to replicate. |

El objetivo fue realizar una estimación de la población de perros callejeros en dos ciudades de la Región Metropolitana de Curitiba, Pinhais y Campo Magro, para subsidiar futuras intervenciones y evaluar la metodología elegida. El área de los municipios se dividió en cuadrantes de aproximadamente 1km² cada uno, coloreados con 4 colores diferentes. Mediante muestreo aleatorio se seleccionaron cuadrantes para el conteo de perros vistos en la vía. Se realizaron parejas de voluntarios para registrar los animales mediante la aplicación Strays ID®, incluyendo coordenadas geográficas, fotografía y sexo. Para definir el grado de tutela de cada perro, se aplicó un cuestionario a los ciudadanos. Los datos fueron compilados en el programa Excel y la estimación fue generada por el paquete Survey del programa R. En Pinhais, la estimación fue de 1428 perros (de 388 a 2468, con un IC de 97,5%), más machos (54%). que las hembras (34%) e indefinido (12%). En Campo Magro, la estimación fue de 480 perros (de 267 a 692, con un IC de 97,5%), también con más machos (n=153, 64%) que hembras (27%) e indefinidos (9%). El predominio del sexo masculino corrobora la literatura. En cuanto al grado de tutela, hubo un porcentaje del 43% en Pinhais y del 47% en Campo Magro de perros sin dueño, valor superior al observado en estudios previos. El estudio fue eficiente en la definición de áreas prioritarias para la intervención y la metodología demostró ser simple.Cães errantes representam um problema para a saúde pública e bem-estar animal. Objetivou-se realizar a estimativa populacional de cães errantes em dois municípios da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba, Pinhais e Campo Magro, para subsidiar futuras intervenções e avaliar a metodologia escolhida. A área dos municípios foi dividida em quadrantes de aproximadamente 1km² cada, os quais foram coloridos com 4 cores diferentes. Por amostragem aleatória, selecionou-se os quadrantes para realização da contagem de cães vistos em vias públicas. Duplas de voluntários foram conduzidos para registro dos animais utilizando o aplicativo Strays ID®, incluindo as coordenadas geográficas, registro fotográfico e sexo. Concomitantemente, para definir o grau de tutela de cada cão, aplicou-se um questionário com os munícipes. Os dados foram compilados no programa Excel e a estimativa foi gerada pelo pacote Survey do programa R. Em Pinhais, a estimativa foi de 1428 cães (de 388 a 2468, com IC de 97,5%), mais machos (54%) do que fêmeas (34%) e indefinidos (12%). Já em Campo Magro, a estimativa foi de 480 cães (de 267 a 692, com IC de 97,5%), também com mais machos (n=153, 64%) do que fêmeas (27%) e indefinidos (9%). A predominância de machos corrobora com a literatura. Em relação ao grau de tutela, verificou-se percentual de 43% em Pinhais e 47% em Campo Magro de cães de rua sem dono, valor acima do observado por estudos anteriores. O estudo foi eficiente para definição das áreas prioritárias para intervenção e a metodologia mostrou-se simples e de fácil replicação.Research, Society and Development2022-06-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3106310.33448/rsd-v11i8.31063Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 8; e51311831063Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 8; e51311831063Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 8; e513118310632525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/31063/26750Copyright (c) 2022 Fernanda Argenton; Anna Julia Zilli Lech; Stefany Monsalve; Marta Kopach; Rita de Cassia Maria Garciahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArgenton, FernandaLech, Anna Julia Zilli Monsalve, StefanyKopach, Marta Garcia, Rita de Cassia Maria2022-07-01T13:34:06Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/31063Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:47:33.939391Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
