Abstract

Aspergillus sp are fungi that commonly caused a systemic respiratory infection in Human and Dog. In Bali, most of the dog are free-roaming dogs, and has poor skin health condition. Some of them are suspected with fungal infection. Aspergillus sp has high risk to infect the dog, because they are available everywhere in environment. Therefore, this research is conducted for adding primary data of Aspergillus sp isolated from dog’s skin and their prevalence. The samples are 15 free-roaming Bali dogs with suspected fungal infection. Identification was carried out by using microscopic and macroscopic observation methods, skin swab was taken from the dog’s skin using the Mackenzie method, and the sterile toothbrush swab gently from the dog’s skin to the Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) media. The fungi were cultured on SDA media for macroscopic identification for approximately 3-4 days, mostly to observe how the fungal colony grew and its color. Microscopic identification are using adhesive tape, the tape was gently pressed into the fungal colony, the tape was stuck into the surface of object-glass with 3-4 drops of Methylene Blue staining, and the object glass was examined by using a light microscope, the findings of Aspergillus sp fungi are recorded and the data are descriptively presented. The result shows that most Aspergillus species that were found is Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus niger according to their colonies growth and microscopic appearance, and the prevalence from 15 samples were 53.33%.

Abstract

Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals with significant economic implications. Following a disease-free status since 1986, Indonesia experienced a resurgence of outbreaks in 2022, including in the Malang Regency. This study aimed to analyse the prevalence and clinical manifestations of FMD in the cattle population of Wajak Subdistrict, Malang Regency. The research employed a cross-sectional observational design with a total sample of 405 dairy cattle from various farms (n=15) in Wajak Subdistrict, Malang Regency, selected based on outbreak history and accessibility. Comprehensive clinical examinations were conducted to identify FMD manifestations using a severity-based scoring system. Serological confirmation using Non-Structural Protein (NSP) test kits was performed on a subsample of 20 animals to detect FMD virus exposure. Results indicated an FMD case prevalence of 1.2% (5 out of 405 animals), with all cases exhibiting complete clinical manifestations, including high fever (average 40.62°C), vesicular lesions in the oral cavity (score 2), lesions on feet (score 1), hypersalivation (score 2), severe appetite loss (60% score 4), and milk production decline with varying severity. The NSP test kit examination of the subsample showed 100% positive results, indicating widespread FMD virus circulation in the study area, despite clinical manifestations appearing in only a small proportion of the population. This study demonstrates that although the clinical FMD case prevalence is relatively low (1.2%), virus circulation remains high in the cattle population of the Wajak Subdistrict, indicating the presence of subclinical infections. Comprehensive FMD control strategies require a combination of mass vaccination, strict biosecurity measures, and continuous surveillance, including subclinical infection detection.
