Abstract

This study aims to identify and determine the level of Strongyloides sp. infection in buffalo (Bos javanicus javanicus) fecal samples in Ujung Kulon National Park (TNUK). The research method was conducted by examining fecal samples using native, sedimentation, and flotation methods and calculating the number of eggs per gram of feces (egg per gram, EPG) to determine the level of infection. The results showed positive Strongyloides sp. infection, indicated by the discovery of oval-shaped eggs with thin walls measuring approximately 54×41 µm. The EPG calculation yielded a value of 1600, which is categorized as a moderate infection. This level of infection indicates that the parasite's life cycle is active in the host's body and has the potential to cause mild to moderate physiological disturbances. Additionally, environmental conditions can increase the risk of reinfection, especially in wildlife habitats with high humidity levels. These findings emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring, environmental management, and parasite control measures, particularly in conservation areas such as Ujung Kulon National Park.

Abstract

Research on parasitic infections in the Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) and banteng (Bos javanicus javanicus) in Ujung Kulon National Park has been reported before. This study not only identifies the types of endoparasites but also measures the infection levels using eggs per gram of feces (EPG) and oocysts per gram of feces (OPG). This research aims to determine the impact of endoparasite infection on the health of the banteng (Bos javanicus javanicus) in its natural habitat at Ujung Kulon National Park (UKNP), through identifying the types of endoparasites that infect, prevalence analysis, and the level of infection. The sample identification was carried out at the Protozoology Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences of Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) University. Identification process using the flotation method, sedimentation method, native method, and the McMaster.The results of this research found five types of parasite eggs: Ascarid, Strongyloides, strongyloid, Paramphistomum, and Eimeria. The infection levels of each parasite, based on the calculation of eggs per gram of feces (EPG) and oocysts per gram (OPG), are as follows: ascarid at 1,050 EPG, Strongyloides at 1,600 EPG, Strongloides at 1,600 EPG, Paramphistomum at 50 EPG, and Eimeria at 550 OPG.
