  • The periphery as confluence of rurality, urban life and parasitoses. A case of cystic echinococcosis as an example of detection and prediction of imbalance factorsIn Latin America, the advance of poverty towards the cities has caused the urbanization of poverty. The persistence of rural habits within populations living in closed areas favors the increase of parasite’s transmissions, some of them with zoonotic importance, which could generate parasitoses. Taking into account the socio-environmental conditions, parasitic zoonoses are found in peripheral, urban and rural environments, where epidemiological aspects and imbalance factors arise. This study describes epidemiologically an atypical cystic echinococcosis case, to establish risk factors, and analyzes the confluence of epidemiological factors in the periphery to alert on potential zoonotic parasites associations, which could be permanent if the disequilibrium conditions persist. A scientific research program in parasitology is contrasted with the case studied.
