Snakehead fish (Channa striata) is one of the freshwater fish in tropical regions such as Asia and Africa, and has high nutrition but is difficult to cultivate. In Indonesia, Snakehead fish are found in paddy fields, swamps and ditches, making them susceptible to parasites. Constraints in Snakehead fish cultivation are caused by the nature of the fish as a predatory, lack of the availability of food and environmental conditions that can affect the growth of the fish. The former paddy fields in Seuneubok Cina of Indra Makmur, Aceh Timur, Indonesia, is found many Snakehead fish. This research aims to determine the types of parasites that infect Snakehead fish. The Snakehead fish was taken using electrofishing gear with purposive sampling method, then dissected and identified the endoparasites which contained in the fish intestines. The research results found three genus of parasites: Pallisentis, Procamallanus and Camallanus.
Feed composition has a substantial impact on the persistence of gastrointestinal endoparasite infection in sheep. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of gastrointestinal endoparasites in Waringin sheep (Ovis aries) fed with complete forage and feed concentrate in Sidomulyo Village, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. The study has been conducted from June to August 2020 with a total of 20 sheep for each type of feed. Fecal samples from each sheep were prepared for microscopical examination using sedimentation technique (glass beads). Gastrointestinal endoparasites was identifiedmorphologically. The results documented 3 genera of endoparasites namely Haemonchus (Nematoda), Fasciola (Trematoda) and Paramphistomum (Trematoda). Based on the type of forages, sheep fed with forage-concentrate showed a lower number of helminth eggs than the complete forage group. Haemonchus sp was identified as the most frequent parasite in both type of feeds. The intensity was categorized from mild-to-moderate level of infection. Provision of forage-concentrate was then proven to prevent a high rate of infection in Waringin sheep.
Gastrointestinal endoparasite is an infection that causes a decrease in the productivity level of sheep so that it detriments to the farmers. The purpose of this study was to compare the type, the prevalence and the intensity of endoparasites in each age group. Samples were taken as many as 7 fresh feces from each group of lamb, virgin, and adult from a total of 21 sheeps. Fecal samples were examined and prepared using the E.P.M Mc Master Protocol while endoparasites were identified under microscopical examination. The results showed 5 species of gastrointestinal endoparasites, i.e Eimeria sp., Dicrocoelium sp., Haemonchus sp., Strongyloides sp., and Capillaria sp. Eimeria sp. showed a prevalence of 85.7% in commonly category and intensity of 2216.6 or super infection category. Haemonchus sp. had a prevalence of 85% (common), an intensity of 671.4 (very severe), and the Strongyloides sp. had a prevalence of 85% (common) and an intensity of 200 (very severe). The lambs were found to be infected by Eimeria sp. with a prevalence of 100% (common) and an intensity of 2871.4 (super infection). Haemonchus sp. had a prevalence of 100% (common) and an intensity of 1200 (super infection), Strongyloides sp. had a prevalence of 71% (usual) and an intensity of 860 (very severe) and the Dicrocoelium sp. had a prevalence of 14% (often) and an intensity of 400 (very severe). The adult sheeps were found to had Eimeria sp. with a prevalence of 100% (common) and an intensity of 371.4 (very severe). The Haemonchus sp. had a prevalence of 14% (often) and an intensity of 200 (very severe). Strongyloides sp. had a prevalence of 57% (frequent) and an intensity of 200 (very severe) and the Capillaria sp. had a prevalence of 14% (often) and an intensity of 100 (severe). The prevalence and intensity of endoparasites in sheeps at Arjuna Farm was classified as very high.
Gastrointestinal parasitic infections can cause horses to experience diarrhea, weight loss, weakened physical condition and even death. This horse disease is a great danger that can reduce horse performance.The research on the description of gastrointestinal endoparasites in Sumba horses (Equus caballus) at Citra Pesona Ladangku animal park, Pancur Batu, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. The aim of the study was to determine the type of endoparasites, prevalence and the intensity of parasite attacks. The sample testing was carried out at the Parasitology Laboratory, Medan Veterinary Center using the EPG Mc. Masters method. The results showed that from 18 Sumba horses examined, 6 types of endoparasites were found, namely Strongylus sp., Trichonema sp., Dictyocaulus arnfieldi, Strongyloides sp., Triodontophorus sp. and Ascaris sp. The prevalence of Strongylus sp. was 86% in the usual category and the intensity attack was 1.530 in the Super infection category, Dictyocaulus arnfieldi was 53% in the frequent category and the intensity attack was 1.161 in the Super infection category, Trichonema sp. was 38% in the common category, and the intensity attack 300 categorized in the very severe category, Strongyloides sp. was 22% in the often category and the intensity was 430 in the very severe category, Triodontophorus sp. was 16% in the often category and the intensity was 500 in the very severe category and Ascaris sp. had prevalence 14% in the often category and the intensity was 100 in the severe category. The gastrointestinal parasitic infections in Sumba horses need special attention.
Endoparasitic infestations tend to occur in all cattle breeding systems with different level of infection at spatial scale. This study aimed to distinguish the prevalence of endoparasites of cattle raised under intensive and semi-intensive systems at Klumpang Kebon Village, Hamparan Perak District, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Fresh dung samples were collected from 40 cattle and pre-treated with glass beads sedimentation method to obtain the endoparasite suspensions. The results showed that majority of cattle (35 out of 40) were infected by four endoparasitic species identified from the dung samples, namely Buxtonella in the class of Ciliata, Dicrocoelium, Fasciola, and Paramphistomum in the class of Trematoda with the absence of Fasciola in the semi-intensive breeding system. The percentage of infected cattle was higher in semi-intensive farm (100%. 20/20) than in intensive farm (75%. 15/20) in which the highest infestation of endoparasites were recorded from Paramphistomum (88.6%), followed by Buxtonella (65.7%), Fasciola (37.1%), and Dicrocoelium (2.8%). Most cattle were mostly found with two co-infecting endoparasites and higher percentage was recorded in semi-intensive breeding system. Based on the highest endoparasites prevalence there is a need to apply a parasitic control program to both breeding systems to prevent further infections.
