Abstract

Infection of Oxyuris spp., a gastrointestinal nematode, has been reported in reptiles around the world, including in the green iguana (Iguana iguana). In most cases, parasite control in reptiles relies on anthelmintics administration. Fenbendazole has been used as the drug of choice for parasite control in reptiles. However, the data of fenbendazole administration for Oxyuris spp. infection on green iguana (Iguana iguana) in Indonesia was absent. We evaluated the effect of fenbendazole administration (dose: 25 mg/kg body weight [BW] for five consecutive days per oral) for natural infection of Oxyuris spp. among thirty-three green iguanas in Malang Raya (Malang District, Malang City, and Batu City). The fecal examination was made through a modified Mc Master technique on the day-0, 7, 14, 21, and 31 post-treatment. The data on management (such as caging, feeding, and health program) conducted by the owners were recorded as well. The result showed that reduction of a hundred percent (100%) of egg per gram (epg) on day-31 post-treatment in all sampled animals. Iguanas were placed in individual and communal cages with daily cleaning and feeding. However, none of the owners arranged health programs such as anthelmintic treatment for their companion reptiles. This study can be used as a recommendation for future control of Oxyuris spp. in green iguanas in Indonesia.

Abstract

The caging system becomes one of the most crucial points in the green iguana (Iguana iguana) husbandry practice since some pathogens are transmitted through ingesting contaminated feed or water in the cage. One of the most common health problems in the green iguana is caused by infection of the gastrointestinal nematode (GIN), Oxyuris spp. Here, we conducted a study to identify Oxyuris spp. infection in the green iguana under different cage types in Malang Raya, East Java. A total of 40 fecal samples were collected and examined through flotation and modified McMaster techniques from three cage types, namely loose cage / extensive (n= 7), terrarium (n= 13), and iron-based cage (n= 20). The results showed that all green iguanas are infected with Oxyuris spp. (40/40 or 100 % prevalence). The highest mean egg per gram (EPG) was found in the green iguana which kept in a loose cage / extensive (mean EPG [CI 95 %] = 14 799.21 [14 442.05 – 15 156.37]), followed by terrarium (mean EPG [CI 95 %] = 8 763.80 [8 436.30 – 9 091.30]), and iron-based cage (mean EPG [CI 95 %] = 1 433.42 [1 303.79 – 1 563.05], respectively. At the same time, there is a significant relationship (P<0,05) between the type of cage and the infection rate of Oxyuris spp. According to this result, we recommend an iron-based cage with routine daily cleaning as prevention for Oxyuris spp. infection among the green iguana.

Abstract

The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is among the most commonly kept pet lizards, yet helminth infections remain a frequent health concern in captivity, often exacerbated by stress, inadequate husbandry, and immunosuppression. Untreated infections compromise animal welfare and contribute to physiological stress. Regular anthelmintic treatment is essential for reducing the parasitic burden and improving reptile health. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the anthelmintic therapy, fenbendazole and praziquantel + emodepside combination, on the degree of Oxyurid infection in Iguana iguana. Treatment efficacy was assessed based on the interpretation of FECRT outcomes in both the treated and control groups. The 27 infected Iguana iguana were randomly separated into three equal groups. Nine infected iguanas received one of the following treatments: placebo (P0 Control) and fenbendazole at a dose of 25 mg/kg body weight (BW) orally for three days (P1). Praziquantel + emodepside anthelmintic will be administered topically (spot-on) at a dose of 1.12 ml/kg body weight (BW) (P2). The efficacy of the therapies was evaluated on the 30th day after treatment. A fecal examination was carried out utilizing the flotation and McMaster methods. The average FECRT findings revealed that fenbendazole was 100% effective at 25 mg/kg body weight (BW). Subsequently, praziquantel + emodepside combined at 1.12ml/kg body weight (BW) was 90% effective in Iguana iguana infected with Oxyurid. This study found that fenbendazole was more effective dewormer than praziquantel + emodepside in green iguana against Oxyurid.
