Abstract

The 2% eosin reagent is commonly used in Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) egg examination; however, its high cost, toxicity, and poor storage stability highlight the need for safer, natural-based alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) juice as a substitute for eosin in staining STH eggs. A true experimental design with a post-test only control group was employed, consisting of six groups: one positive control (2% eosin) and five treatment groups using beetroot juice at concentrations of 40%, 50%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, with 11 preparations per group. Data collection was conducted through microscopic observation in July–August 2025 and analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney U post hoc test. The findings revealed significant differences in staining effectiveness (p = 0.027), with the 60% and 100% concentrations showing the best clarity and completeness of egg morphology. The study concludes that beetroot juice is an effective natural alternative to eosin. Further research is recommended to assess storage stability and explore other eco-friendly natural dyes.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is a scalp infection caused by the obligate ectoparasite Pediculus humanus capitis. This condition can be treated through various methods, including the use of medications. Soursop leaf extract and eucalyptus oil are known to exhibit lethal activity against P.h. capitis due to the presence of acetogenins, isoflavones, and cineole. This study aims to investigate the mortality activity of P.h. capitis following treatment with a combination of soursop leaf extract and eucalyptus oil. The study employed a true experimental design, specifically a post-test-only control group design, comprising two control groups (1% permethrin as the positive control (K+) and distilled water as the negative control (K-)) and five treatment groups with combinations of 5% soursop leaf extract and 5% eucalyptus oil (P1=1:1, P2=1:2, P3=2:1, P4=1:3, P5=3:1). The effectiveness of the combinations on P.h. capitis mortality was analyzed using Friedman, while the LC50 and LT50 values were determined through probit analysis. The results showed significant differences in mortality rates between the negative control group and the positive control group, as well as all treatment groups. Significant differences were also observed between the positive control group and the treatment groups P3, P4, and P5. However, no significant differences were found among the treatment groups at various observation times. The treatment results of group P2 (1:2) were the most effective in killing P. h. capitis. The combination of soursop leaf extract and eucalyptus oil has been proven effective as a natural pediculicide.

Abstract

Insecticides used in controlling Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius)  often result in side effects and the development of resistance. Betel leaf (Piper betle Linn.), soursop leaf (Annona muricata Linn.), and Eucalyptus (Melaleuca cajuputi) oil have the potential to serve as natural insecticides due to their active ingredient content in the form of flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids and other bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the potency of ethanol extracts of betel leaf or soursop leaf in combination with cajeput oil in inducing mortality in C. lectularius. A true experimental design was employed using a post-test only with control group design, which included a positive control (2% bifenthrin), a negative control (distilled water), and 10 treatment groups with combinations of betel leaf or soursop leaf extracts with Eucalyptus oil in ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 1:3, and 3:1. Each group consisted of 10 bed bugs, with three replications (totaling 360 bed bugs). Mortality was observed every five minutes over one hour and analysed using the Friedman test. The results indicated significant differences in the potential of the combinations of ethanol extracts and Eucalyptus oil. Probit analysis was used to determine LC₅₀ and LT₅₀ values. The LC₅₀ for the betel leaf and Eucalyptus oil combination was 1.302%, with an LT₅₀ of 0.976 minutes (ratio 1:1). For the soursop leaf and Eucalyptus oil combination, the LC₅₀ was 2.229%, and the LT₅₀ was 0.792 minutes (ratio 1:2). The fastest mortality was observed at five minutes in the combination of soursop leaf and Eucalyptus oil at a 3:1 ratio.

Abstract

Aedes aegypti is a dengue fever vector that can transmit dengue (DEN-V). Pyrethroid, carbamate, and organophosphate synthetic insecticides are often used as dengue control because they are very effective, quick to show results, and have minimal environmental impact. Garlic is commonly used as a seasoning by some people, but this plant has potential as an alternative larvicide. This plant contains the compounds allicin, sulfur ammonia acid, and allin. This study aims to determine the larvicidal effect of garlic extract on the mortality of Ae. aegypti larvae. The study was conducted with a post-test with a control group design of 5 groups. There are two groups: a negative control group (Aquadest) and a positive control (Temefos 1%). The other three groups were treated with garlic extract concentrations of 10% (P1), 20% (P2), and 30% (P3). There were 375 Ae. aegypti larvae with 3 repetitions, and 24 hours of larval mortality were observed. The Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Mann-Whitney U tests analyzed larval mortality data. LC50 and LC90 values were subjected to probit analysis. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there were differences in the effectiveness of garlic extracts on the mortality of Ae. aegypti larvae (p = 0.007). The LC50 value is 2.346%, while the LC90 value is 2.641%. Garlic extract (Allium sativum) is effective as a larvicide for Ae. aegypti

Abstract

 Pediculosis is caused by Pediculus humanus capitis and is characterized by scalp itching. The use of chemical pediculicides can cause scalp irritation and toxic hazards. The use of natural ingredients, such as a combination of shallot extract and eucalyptus oil, is used as an alternative pediculicide to reduce the impacts caused by the use of synthetic pediculicides. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of combining shallot extract and eucalyptus oil in eradicating head lice. This research is a true experimental type with a post-test only with control group design consisting of a positive control group (1% permethrin), a negative control (aquadest), and five treatment groups of 5% shallot extract combination and eucalyptus oil in ratios 1:1 (P1), 1:2 (P2), 2:1 (P3), 1:3 (P4), and 3:1 (P5). Data were analyzed using the Friedman test, and LT50 and LC50 were analyzed using probit analysis. There was a difference in the effectiveness of the 5% shallot extract combination and 5% eucalyptus oil. Group P4 was the most effective in causing mortality of Pediculus humanus capitis, with an LC50 value of 0.056% at 30 minutes, while the LT50 value was 0.781 minutes in group P4. The combination of shallot extract and eucalyptus oil in a 1:3 ratio was the most effective alternative to traditional plant-based pediculicides. The combination of shallot extract and eucalyptus oil has the potential to serve as an alternative pediculicide

Abstract

Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils that can occur in children, caused by the bacteria Streptococcus haemolyticus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Poor oral hygiene, physical exhaustion, and certain types of food are other risk factors for chronic tonsillitis. When bacteria enter the tonsil tissue, monocytes differentiate into macrophages that destroy foreign objects. Activated lymphocytes differentiate into plasma cells that produce ASO antibodies. This study aims to determine the relationship between the number of monocytes and lymphocytes and Anti-Streptolysin-O levels in pediatric tonsillitis patients. This study was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design conducted in July-August 2025 at Dr. R. Goeteng Taroenadibrata Purbalingga Regional General Hospital by measuring the number of monocytes and lymphocytes using a hematology analyzer and Anti-Streptolysin-O levels using the latex agglutination method. The sample size for this study was 32 pediatric tonsillitis patients using accidental sampling. The relationship between monocyte and lymphocyte counts and ASO levels was analyzed using Spearman's rho correlation test. The results of the Spearman's rho correlation test showed that there was no correlation between the number of monocytes and ASO levels (p=0.637, r=0.087) or between the number of lymphocytes and ASO levels (p=0.412, r=-0.150). There was no correlation between the number of monocytes and lymphocytes and ASO levels in pediatric tonsillitis patients. More research is needed on inflammatory markers such as HsCRP, Procalcitonin (PCT) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6).

Abstract

Tonsillitis is a common global disease that most frequently affects children, particularly those aged 5–9 years. The primary cause of tonsillitis is infection of the tonsils by Streptococcus ?-hemolyticus Group A bacteria. Leukocytes play a key role in fighting infections, while neutrophils, as the main cells involved in acute inflammation, destroy bacteria through phagocytosis. This study aimed to determine the correlation between leukocyte and neutrophil counts and Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO) levels in children with tonsillitis. This research employed a cross-sectional design involving 32 pediatric tonsillitis patients, both inpatients and outpatients, at Dr. R. Goeteng Taroenadibrata Regional Hospital, Purbalingga. ASO levels were measured using the latex agglutination method, while hematological parameters—total leukocyte and neutrophil counts—were measured using a hematology analyzer based on the flow cytometry method. Data on the correlation between leukocyte and neutrophil counts and ASO levels were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test. The results showed no significant correlation between leukocyte count and ASO level (p = 0.424, r = 0.146), and no correlation between neutrophil count and ASO level (p = 0.653, r = 0.083). There was no significant correlation between leukocyte and neutrophil counts and ASO levels in children with tonsillitis. Further studies are recommended using ASO measurement methods such as ELISA or turbidimetry, as well as additional inflammatory markers including Interleukin-1 (IL-1), Interferon-? (IFN-?), and Tumor Necrosis Factor-? (TNF-?).
