the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established in the 2030 Agenda are present in the degrees of the Universidad Veracruzana (UV) belonging to the biological-agricultural area. The objective was to identify to what extent in the curricula the attention to the SDGs is enunciated in the different approaches and training processes of university careers. To this end, from a methodology that contemplated mixed perspectives (quantitative and qualitative) and based on instruments adapted based on the existing literature, a tool was designed to analyze in the curriculum the elements of the SDGs and their formative implications in the objectives and competencies proposed in university careers.

En los años recientes, dadas las condiciones de crisis estructural que imperan en la relación sociedad-naturaleza, emerge como necesario e impostergable incorporar la dimensión ambiental en el currículo universitario. No se puede visualizar hoy a las instituciones de educación superior aisladas de un enfoque sustentable que soporte las exigencias formativas y disciplinarias propias del campo de las profesiones. En este estudio se analiza la forma en que los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) establecidos en la Agenda 2030 están presentes en las licenciaturas de la Universidad Veracruzana (UV) pertenecientes al área biológico-agropecuaria. El objetivo consistió en identificar en qué medida en los planes de estudio se enuncia la atención a los ODS en los distintos enfoques y procesos formativos de las carreras universitarias. Para ello, desde una metodología que contempló perspectivas mixtas (cuantitativas y cualitativas) y basándose en instrumentos adaptados con base en la literatura existente, se diseñó una herramienta para analizar en el plan
de estudios los elementos de los ODS y sus implicaciones formativas en los objetivos y competencias propuestas en las carreras universitarias.
humans as well as domestic and wild animals. Worldwide, they affect several
species of wild animals, mostly mammals. In recent years, reports of wild species have increased, indicating that they play an important role in the spread of these parasites. In Mexico, these parasites have been reported mainly in humans and domestic animals, with no reports in wildlife. In the north of Veracruz, there are conservation areas where various species of native and exotic wildlife cohabit; these sites are closed to cattle farms and used for recreation and tourism, with a potential risk of transmission. Our objective was to determine the frequencies of both parasites in wild animals that inhabit a protected area in northern Veracruz, Mexico. Overall, 17 animal species were surveyed, 12 wild and 5 domestic ones, from which 99 individual fresh feces samples were collected and kept frozen until processing. The oocyst concentration technique and the direct immunofluorescence test with a commercial kit were employed. In all host species analyzed, positive samples were found. In wild animals, the general frequency of Giardia spp. was 89.3%, whereas that of Cryptosporidium spp. was 94.6%. In domestic animals, the frequencies were 79.0% and 67.4% for Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. respectively. This is the first study that reports the frequencies of these protozoans in captive wild and domestic animals in the north of Veracruz, Mexico. We conclude that Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. are frequent parasites in wild and domestic animals in the study area; furthermore, four species (Connochaetes taurinus, Equus burchelli, Anser anser, and Trachemys scripta) have not yet been described as hosts for Giardia spp. Further molecular studies are needed to allow the identification of genotypes and their potential transmission among species.
study contributes to determining the first direct estimation of density for this species in a region of Mexico. The importance of this study is the precision with which the otter population was estimated, which allows
for more robust information to make decisions and to take actions for the management and conservation of the species.
