Abstract

Toxocariasis is a worm disease caused by infection of Toxocara cati. This study aims to identify the etiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, morphometry of eggs and worms in domestic cats at the Ontosenovet Animal Clinic Malang. The results of physical examination reveal enlargement of the abdomen, dull hair and hair loss. Hematological examination results showed a decrease in platelets, RDW-VC, and RDW-SD, an increase in lymphocytes, and MCHC. Examination of feces and worms and eggs is carried out at the Parasitology Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Brawijaya. Stool examination is carried out using native and floating methods which showed the presence of worm eggs in the second method. The eggs show a slightly elongated or oval shape, thick walls, and a mottled surface. Worm eggs have an average length of 71,61 μm and a width of 59,87 μm. Worms obtained from cat vomit were then made preparations with Acetocarmine staining. The results of worm observations show three lips on the anterior, posterior end of digitiform and curved to the ventral. The results of morphometric measurements of adult T. cati show that the diameter of the worm, the length of the posterior end of the worm, and the width of the lips obtained an average of 754,14 μm, 545,19 μm, and 314,87 μm respectively. Overall body lengths of worm samples 1, 2, and 3 are 7,50 cm, 8,70 cm, and 7,80 cm with an average of 8,00 cm. Based on the examination the cat had toxocariasis due to Toxocara cati. The therapy given is an anthelmintic Drontal® (¾ tablet) which contained 20 mg praziquantel and 80 mg pyrantel.

Abstract

Lycopene, a potent antioxidant predominantly found in red-hued fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, has been incorporated into embryonic maturation media in vitro, demonstrating enhancements in embryo quality. Despite these advancements, the specific effects of lycopene on Zebrafish embryo quality remain unexplored. This study aims to investigate the impact of lycopene (0.65 ppm) on the development of Zebrafish embryos, focusing on hatchability (HA), and heart rate (HR) under conditions of heat stress (HS). Fertile Zebrafish embryos at the gastrula stage were induced HS (30oC; 1 hour). The embryos will be segregated into two groups: those exposed to HS and nonHS (28oC). Each group will receive one of three treatments (four replicates): control / without lycopene (P1), 2μL lycopene (P2), and 4μL lycopene (P3). Observations using an inverted microscope was done every three up to 48 hours post-fertilization (hpf), and subsequently every five hours up to 96 hpf. Quantitative data obtained for HA and HR were analyzed with SPSS, One-Way ANNOVA (p<0.05). The antioxidants contained in lycopene can influence the speed and success of Zebrafish embryo development and HA exposed to HS. In addition, the antioxidant in lycopene can also suppress the HR frequency of Zebrafish embryos exposed to HS. However, more studies about the optimum dose, purity, and stability of the lycopene extract should be done to make a definitive conclusion.

Abstract

A rehabilitation center for Javan Lutung animals in East Java carries out routine checks on rehabilitated animals to prevent diseases that can affect health. Diseases that can infect these endangered animals are not only diseases that are inside the body but also outside the body such as lice infestation. The purpose of this study was to identify the species of louse that attack Javan langurs in an effort to increase information on ectoparasite species in these endemic animals. The sample was obtained from an adult Javan langur, then the sample was preserved by the unstained Slide mounting method. The results were observed using a microscope and body length was measured using the ImageJ software. The results showed that the ectoparasite shape has a flat-dorsoventral body with a total body length of 1.65 mm. From morphometry and morphological characteristics, the samples identified were the male species of Pedicinus ancoratus.

Abstract

Strongyloidiasis is a nematode parasite with broader distribution proved to infect humans and animals. Strongyloides ratti common endoparasites infected rodent as the most adaptive population in various environments. We have currently raised concerning the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) situations in Indonesia. This study aimed to understand the incidence of Strongyloides spp. infecting wild rodents in Malang City during October to December 2021 by stratified random sampling. A total of 50 rats (Rattus norvegicus, Rattus rattus diardii, Mus musculus), 26 male (52%) and 24 female (48%). Following 12 juveniles (24%) and 38 adults (76%). Coprology examinations use floatation and sedimentation methods immediately after the gastrointestinal tract's stool collection (GITs). We also administered a limited survey to get responses from 80 people (housewives, sellers, employee, and students) to obtain risk transmission, public awareness, and attitudes. We were continually analyzed data using the chi-squared and Fisher Exact Test. The microscopic examination of stools was 28% positively detected S. ratti. Our study found an association presented between the age of rats and Strongyloidiasis infections (p<0.05). However, the gender of rats did not have a significant association (p>0.05) to the S. ratti several infections. In addition, most participants did not understand the zoonotic disease and these infections, indicating a low-level knowledge 71 (88%), because better education supports the increase of awareness. However, almost all participants have good practice of hygiene and sanitation toward COVID-19 situations 72 (90%). The further study recommends investigating Strongyloidiasis infections in another species and increasing the education program for housewives and sellers in a traditional marketplace to have better knowledge.

Abstract

Murine Trypanosomiasis is a disease caused by the blood protozoan Trypanosoma lewisi in rats, with the transmission process mediated by the flea species Xenopsylla cheopis and Nosopsyllus fasciatus. Cases of trypanosomiasis have been documented due to Trypanosoma lewisi infecting rats and humans in various countries. Diagnosis of T. lewisi is typically conducted using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which amplifies target DNA using specific primers. One such target gene for detection is the Internal Transcribed Spacer-1 (ITS1). Subsequent sequencing of PCR products enables analysis of genetic variation employing parameters such as nucleotide composition, genetic distance, and phylogenetic analysis with MEGA software. Test results based on percent identity values indicated a 98.51% homology of blood samples with the Chinese strain of T. lewisi (FJ011094.1), demonstrating genetic variation. Phylogram reconstruction revealed that samples 18, 19, and 37 of T. lewisi exhibit very close intraspecies relationships with T. lewisi from NCBI genebank with genetic distance ranging from 0.007 to 0.01. While the closest interspecies relationship was found with T. cruzi (KT305857.1) with a genetic distance of (d = 0.61).

Groups of nematodes, such as Toxocara cati, are most commonly found infecting the digestive tract of cats. Apart from that, the zoonotic potential of several types of worms is the main reason a worm eradication program is essential. The high prevalence of infection can be dangerous, leading to conditions such as diarrhea, lethargy, anemia, and enteritis, which, if fatal, can lead to the death of cats. Community service activities aim to increase the role of the Cat Lovers Community in suppressing cases of worms by optimizing the worm eradication program, specifically in the Lamongan Regency. Activities are carried out using socialization and education methods for cat owners regarding the dangers of worms, clinical symptoms, pathogenesis, and appropriate treatment management. Health services and deworming of cats are conducted to determine the cats' optimal health status. A total of 100 participants attended the event, where 150 cats received free treatment. The activity results showed an increase in participants' knowledge by 44.5% regarding appropriate worm eradication programs, the selection of broad-spectrum worm medicine, and the timing of worming after socialization. Increasing public awareness and knowledge regarding optimal treatment, especially among cat lovers, can minimize the risk of helminthiasis infection in pet cats.

Abstract

Toxocara cati is an obligate extracellular parasite within the phylum Nematoda. This species is responsible for toxocariasis, a zoonotic disease. The disease transmission occurs via infective eggs, earthworms, cockroaches, birds, and rodents that contain larvae in their tissues. In cats, infection with this parasite can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, hypoalbuminemia, anorexia, and a distended abdomen. This research aimed to identify an optimal candidate primer design through in silico analysis using BLAST primers from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). This study targeted the mitochondrial genes COX1 and ND5 for the molecular identification of T. cati. Using in silico methods, primer candidates were designed and evaluated based on key parameters, including primer length, melting temperature (Tm), GC content, potential for secondary structure formation, and specificity. Candidate primers were screened using the NCBI primer-BLAST tool and validated through BLAST analysis to ensure sequence specificity. The primer pair that met all the criteria for an optimal candidate primer design comprised the forward primer TCND5F (5′-ACTGCTGGCCTTGTATTGGT-3′) and the reverse primer TCND5R (5′-ACACAGAACGCCTAAACCTCA-3′), both targeting the ND5 gene region.

Abstract

Cats are common companion animals that are susceptible to various parasitic infections, particularly under unsanitary environmental conditions. Apart from transmitting zoonotic infections, infected cats may also suffer from metabolic disorders, malnutrition, anemia, and even death. Fecal, hair, and ectoparasite samples from 170 cats (stray and domestic) were collected from 12 districts in Malang. Statistical tests (Chi-square, OR, and RR) and QGIS-based spatial mapping were employed for data analysis. The findings revealed that 46.4% (79/170) of gastrointestinal endoparasite cases involved Ancylostoma spp. (20.6%), Toxocara cati (19.4%), Toxascaris leonina (7.6%), Strongyloides spp. (2.9%), Dipylidium caninum (4.1%), Cystoisospora felis (5.8%), Cystoisospora rivolta (3.5%), and Toxoplasma gondii-like oocysts (1.1%). Ectoparasite infestations accounted for 52.9% (90/170), with Ctenocephalides felis (50.5%), Sarcoptes scabiei (3.5%), Felicola subrostratus (1.1%), and Rhipicephalus sanguineus (0.5%) being recorded. Risk factor analysis revealed a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between lifestyle and the prevalence rates of cat gastrointestinal endoparasite infections and ectoparasite infestations, while sex and altitude showed no significant correlation (p > 0.05) with either. The findings of the study bear significance for both human and animal health, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among preventive medicine, veterinary science, and public health, and providing a valuable evidence base to support policy development and targeted intervention programs aimed at controlling zoonotic parasites in companion animals, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas.
