Identifikasi Molekuler Blastocystis sp. pada Monyet Ekor Panjang (Macaca fascicularis) di Taman Nasional Baluran, Situbondo, Jawa Timur

This study reported the diagnosis and treatment of Strongyloidiasis in two Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus); adult male aged 23 years, weighing 100 kg and an infant female orangutan, 4 years old, weighing 13,6 kg. Samples were physically and laboratory examined for faeces using the Mini-FLOTAC method. Therapy was performed on the adult orangutan using albendazole at a dose of 400 mg individual twice a day for 4 days, orally. The infant orangutan was administered albendazole at a dose of 10 mg/kg BW once a day for 3 days orally. From several physical examinations, both orangutans looked active, body temperature and oral mucosa color were normal, green feces with solid consistency in the adult orangutan and brown with solid consistency in the infant orangutan. Microscopic faeces examination of the adult orangutan showed Strongyloides sp. as many as 1005 eggs per gram (EPG) of feces, and the infant orangutan as many as 2490 larvae per gram of feces. Both orangutans were diagnosed with severe Strongyloidiasis based on those examinations. Three days after starting treatment, the adult orangutan's EPG decreased to 890, and a week later, no Strongyloides sp. eggs or larvae were discovered. A week following treatment, no Strongyloides sp. was discovered in an infant orangutan. In conclusion, albendazole was an effective treatment for severe Strongyloidiasis in adult and infant orangutans. Strongyloidiasis can be a threat to both infant and adult orangutans without distinct clinical symptoms.

Strongyloidiasis in Bornean Orangutan: A Case Report

Susanti,

Sriningsih

et al. 2023

“…Eimeria spp. can survive and multiply in the host without marked pathogenicity (Kurniawati et al, 2020). This balance between parasite and host is disturbed, especially when the host is exposed to stress, such as weaning, disease, changes in food, and climate changes, causing an increase in the number of parasites (Albayati et al, 2020).…”

Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria spp. is a parasitic disease that affects various animal species, including sheep. This study aimed to detect Eimeria spp. and the degree of infection in the fat-tailed sheep breed in Malang. This study used fecal samples from 62 fat-tailed sheep. Detection of Eimeria spp. was performed by using the flotation method and then observed the morphology of the oocysts found in the fecal samples of fat-tailed sheep. The positive sample was followed by the McMaster test to calculate oocysts per gram (OPG). The results showed that 20 (32%) samples were positively infected by Eimeria spp. with the degree of infection in the severe category.

“…Buffaloes with strong immune systems can block endoparasite activity. The pathogenicity of parasites can be decreased by strengthening livestock resistance (Kurniawati et al, 2020). Both the specific and non-specific immune systems are involved in the host immunological reaction to parasite infection (Van Hoy et al, 2022).…”

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Endoparasites of Swamp Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in Polewali Mandar

Sukoco,

Salmin

et al. 2023

This study aimed to identify the prevalence of gastrointestinal endoparasite infections in swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in Polewali Mandar. This study was used 80 samples of buffalo feces taken from community farms in the three districts with the largest population in Polewali Mandar i.e., Tinambung, Luyo and Campalagian. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The results of the examination of 80 samples of buffalo feces in this study found 48 (60%) positive samples infected with gastrointestinal endoparasites. After microscopic identification, the following types of endoparasites were found with their respective prevalence levels: worms of the nematode class consisted of Strongyloides sp. (8,75%), Toxocara sp. (13,75%), Ascaris sp. (7,5%), Bunostomum sp. (11,25%), Haemonchus sp. (17,5%), Trichostrongylus sp. (36,25%), the cestode class consisted of Moniezia sp. (18,75%) and Taenia sp. (10%), Trematode class Paramphistomum sp. (13,75%). The types of protozoa found were Eimeria sp. (46,25%) and Entamoeba sp. (6,25%).
