The discovery of human Plasmodium among domestic animals in West Sumba and Fakfak, Indonesia

Abstract: Background: In Indonesia, malaria incidence is at a high rate despite maximum preventive efforts. Therefore, this study aims to determine the possibility of a Plasmodium reservoir among domestic animals in malaria-endemic areas. Methods:  Animal blood was collected using EDTA tubes, then smeared and stained with Giemsa for Plasmodium microscopic identification. About 10 µl of blood was dropped on to a filter paper to capture Plasmodium DNA. Nested PCR was used for parasite molecular detection, while Plasmodium… Show more

“…Many studies have failed to reveal the presence of h-Plasmodium in animals and livestock. Identifying h-Plasmodium in a group of domestic cattle in Sumba and Fakfak, however, has confirmed the fact that this parasite can live in the livestock (17). A similar finding in goats was reported in Jatirejo by microscopic examination of Int J Med Parasitol Epidemiol Sci Volume Number 3, 2021 thick blood smears (18), although some practitioners still doubt it.…”

“…Peran hewan ternak yang sebenarnya dalam penyebaran penyakit malaria seharusnya dijelaskan dengan fakta empirik ilmiah tentang kemampuan hidup h-Plasmodium di dalam tubuh ternak. Keberadaan h-Plasmodium dalam darah ternak akan menunjukkan bahwa telah terjadinya penularan dari Anopheles betina infeksius ke ternak [7]. Peran ternak sebagai reservoir atau terminal host bagi h-Plasmodium dapat ditentukan berdasarkan jenis stadium parasit yang ditemukan.…”

“…Laporan ini semakin menguatkan keingintahuan mekanisme kehidupan h-Plasmodium pada ternak domestik yang potensial menjadi reservoir dalam penyebaran malaria. Hingga saat ini keberadaan h-Plasmodium pada ternak kambing telah dilaporkan di delapan Negara, yaitu Indonesia [7,12,13], Thailand, Myanmar, Iran [10], Irak [11], Sudan, Kenya [10] dan Nigeria [8,9]. Seluruh pengujian yang mendasari laporan tersebut menggunakan metode mikroskopis dan beberapa didukung uji molekuler dengan teknik PCR.…”
