“…Moreover, rats have also been known as a carrier for several potential diseases transmitted to human being which affect their health. It has been reported that some rodents show their role as a vector for several zoonoses [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Some endoparasites inhabiting their digestive organ were also identified.…”

The research was conducted during November 2018 -January 2019 in two provinces namely West Java and Yogyakarta. The aim of the study was to study the prevalence of infection of endoparasites inhabiting the liver of small mammals and its intensity. Two different habitats, irrigated rice crop area and two villages closed each other were chosen as trapping sites. Sampling was conducted by performing two methods i.e. trapping using snap trap and LTBS (Linear Trap Barrier System) continually. The snap traps (75 pieces) and 30 bubu traps were set around the small mammals' habitat. A regular monitoring of the trapping was conducted in the next morning. Animals captured were identified and dissected to observe endoparasites infecting their digestive organs. The total number of samples captured from the two provincial trapping location was 423 individuals. There were four species identified namely Rattus argentiventer, Rattus tanezumi, Suncus murinus, and Bandicota indica. Two species of endoparasites were found in the liver of Taenia taeniaeformis and Capillaria hepatica. Prevalence of infection for both endoparasites was higher in animals captured from irrigated rice crop area compared to the village area. The prevalence of infection for T. taeniaeformis was 36.7% and C. hepatica was 35.25% from the animals captured in the irrigated rice crop. Their intensity of infection was varied from light, medium to heavy level. Meanwhile, the prevalence of infection for the same endoparasites from the animals captured from the village was lesser. Prevalence of infection for T. taeniaeformis infected animals captured in the two villages was 12.31% and 17.6%, respectively. The same situation was also similar for the C. hepatica which had their prevalence of 0.7% and 0.8% for the same samples captured from the same habitats. Their intensity was also lower than what we found in animals captured from the irrigated rice crop area.

“…Involvement and support from the family are associated with a better physical and psychological adjustment (Li et al, 2013;Sumintardja et al, 2009). Family support is associated with a more positive effect, lower negative effect, reduced risk, enhanced health-related behaviours, better medical service utilization, and better illness management strategies, including higher rates of medication adherence in HIV patients (Broadhead et al, 2002;Carrieri et al, 2003;Kosasih et al, 2011;Latkin et al, 2011).…”

“…A novel hantavirus designated as a Serang virus (SERV) was detected from R. tanezumi in Serang district of Banten Province by genetic examination [15]. These findings suggest that a variety of hantaviruses exist in Indonesia and may cause human diseases [6,10]. However, the prevalence of those viruses and the actual risk to human health remain unclear.…”

ABSTRACT. Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a rodent-borne zoonotic disease caused by hantavirus infection. Many HFRS cases have been reported in East Asia and North Europe, while the situation in Southeast Asia remains unclear. In this study, the prevalence of hantavirus infection in rodents and humans in Thousand Islands regency, which is close to the port of Jakarta, one of the largest historic ports in Indonesia, was investigated. A total of 170 rodents were captured in 2005, and 27 (15.9%) of the rodents were antibody-positive against Hantaan virus antigen in an immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and Western blotting. Despite the high prevalence in rodents, human sera collected from 31 patients with fever of unknown origin and 20 healthy volunteers in the islands in 2009 did not show positive reaction to the antigen in IFA. To identify the virus in rodents genetically, a total of 59 rodents were captured in 2009. Sera from the rodents were screened for antibody by ELISA, and lung tissues were subjected to RT-PCR. 20 (33.9%) of the 59 rodents were antibody-positive, and 3 of those 20 rodents were positive for S and M genome segments of hantaviruses. Genetic analysis showed that the viruses belonged to Seoul virus and formed a cluster with those in Vietnam and Singapore. These results suggest that a unique group of Seoul viruses has spread widely in Southeast Asia.
