“…This prevalence is greater than previous studies in Banyuwangi (1.67%) and Surabaya (7.9%), but the type of rats is unknown. 16 The rat samples in Banyuwangi were obtained from residential areas, markets, and rice fields. In this study, all wild rat samples were obtained from the main market in Banjarnegara District.…”

Trypanosomiasis is a zoonotic disease caused by Trypanosoma sp., a protozoan parasite that has a flagellum. It has the potential to cause emerging diseases. Generally, Trypanosoma infection is caused by T. evansi which causes Surra disease, and T. cruzi which causes Chagas disease. Trypanosoma lewisi has been considered a natural protozoan in mice, not pathogenic to humans but in recent years it has been reported in humans. This study aims to detect Trypanosoma in rats in Banjarnegara District and analyze the potential impact on public health. The research was observational with a descriptive approach, conducted in Banjarnegara from July-December 2020. Samples were taken by purposive sampling. Samples are rat’s blood that caught on wild rats survey in the main market of Banjarnegara District. Blood samples were made with a thin smear then they were stained with Giemsa and examined by microscope. There were 157 rats caught, consisting of 131 Rattus norvegicus and 26 R. tanezumi. Totally, 28 rats were positive Trypanosoma lewisi, so Trypanosoma infection in rats in Banjarnegara District is 16,57%. Trypanosomiasis in R. norvegicus was 18.3% and R. tanezumi 15.38%. Therefore, there is a need to increase the awareness of these diseases’s transmission to humans.

“…Scientific literature associated to rodent-borne parasites in Indonesia insists on the role of rodents as biological vector of ectoparasites (e.g., Xenopsylla cheopis, Hoplopleura pacifia, Poliplax spinulosa, and Ornithonyssus bacoti), zoonotic endoparasites by helminths (e.g., Capillaria hepatica, Gongylonema neoplasticum, Hymenolepis diminuta, Hymenolepis nana, and Syphacia muris) and blood protozoa particularly Trypanosomiasis and Leishmaniasis (Afililla et al, 2017;Ernawati & Priyanto, 2013;Musyaffa et al, 2020;Sari et al, 2020).…”

“…The prevalence of trypanosomiasis of wild rats in Banyuwangi city, East Java was 1.67%. The infection of Trypanosoma lewisi in wild rats has a potential risk to transmitted human (Afililla et al, 2017). The distribution of the blood protozoa is worldwide.…”

Zoonotic parasitic infections is one of the global public health issues. The complex parasite transmission allows for the relationship between people, animals, vectors, and the environment. The existence of rat in the environment has an important role as a host and reservoir for various types of ecto and endoparasites. This study was conducted to collect informative data on the parasitic infection of wild rats in Blimbing sub-district, Malang city, East Java. A total number of eight wild rat were captured using live-traps from landfills during 4 days. They were classified by sex, weight and body length. The rats were anesthetized, collecting for any ectoparasites and then their carcasses were dissected for examinations of endoparasites. The result of this study show succesfull live-trap of rodents including Rattus norvegicus (87.5%) and Suncus murinus (12.5%). 50% of sampled rodents were male, 37.5% were female, and 12.5% of female the musk shrew. The presence of helminthes infection in all wild rats, namely Hymenolopis nana, Syphacia obvelata, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Furthermore, the ectoparasites identification were Xenopsylla cheopis, Echinolaelap echidninus, and blood protozoa identifications Trypanosoma lewisi. Based on the results show 100% of wild rats positive infections of endo-ectoparasites. This study indicates to continuous study among rodents’ parasites in wild rats in different urban areas and analysis of their potential impact on public health.
