Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is one of the zoonotic diseases caused by the protozoa Toxoplasma gondii. The disease infects warm-blooded animals including humans. The purpose of this study was to determine the contamination of Toxoplasma oocysts in water sources in goat-sheep farms in Sidoarjo Regency. A total of 63 water samples were used for the study. Water samples were taken from 5 sub-districts that have many goat-sheep farms, each sub-district has 2 villages, with each village having 6-7 samples. The examination used the floating method and was examined under a microscope with a magnification of 400x. The results of the examination found 21 samples of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts or 33.33% (21/63). The morphology of T.gondii oocysts is round, ovoid or ellipsoid with sizes varying between 8.02 - 12.72 micrometers. Preventive measures are needed by treating water before giving it to livestock.

Abstract

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has been identified as a potential biomarker for assessing ovarian reserve and reproductive capacity in cattle, with high heritability and relatively stable expression. However, studies detecting AMH mRNA in bovine serum remain scarce due to the matrix’s inherently low RNA yield, susceptibility to degradation, and potential presence of PCR inhibitors. This study provides an exploratory validation of AMH mRNA detection in serum — a challenging matrix compared with ovarian tissue — using EvaGreen-based reverse transcriptase–quantitative PCR (RT–qPCR). Specific primers for the AMH and β-actin genes were designed in silico and validated through melting curve analysis and linearity testing. The results showed high amplification efficiency (AMH: 100.2%, R² = 0.994; β-actin: 109.1%, R² = 0.996), with specific amplification of both targets. AMH detection in serum samples was successful in some samples, while the β-actin gene was consistently amplified as a reference gene. Despite the low RNA quality from serum and the presence of organic contaminants, the method demonstrated its feasibility for detecting AMH transcripts in a minimally invasive manner. Physiologically, AMH levels positively correlate with antral follicle count, superovulation success, and embryo quality, and are sensitive to heat stress and other environmental factors. These findings provide a foundational basis for developing molecular diagnostic approaches based on AMH gene expression in cattle reproductive management programs and support the future development of efficient, accurate, and context-specific biomolecular-assisted selection technologies for tropical livestock systems.

Abstract

Hymenolepiasis is one of the neglected zoonotic diseases in humans, caused by the cestodes Hymenolepis nana and Hymenolepis diminuta. Its definitive hosts are rodents (mostly rats). This study aims to identify the morphology both microscopically and macroscopically. This research is a laboratory exploratory research and the sampling method uses purposive sampling technique. The samples used in this study amounted to 100 samples of wild rats that had been trapped and then necropsied, worms obtained from the digestive tract were stained with dark red stain and observed with a microscope. The results showed that microscopic morphological examination showed that the anterior part of the H. nana worm had hooks and crowns. The overall prevalence of H. nana worms was found to be 18% (18/100). The prevalence of H. nana in wild rats in Surabaya City in Rattus tanezumi was 16% (12/77). Rattus novergicus in Surabaya area with positive samples was 26% (6/23). Morphology in H. nana worms has a distinctive difference. The anterior part of H. nana has hooks that surround the rostellum, the anterior part has a ‘crown of hooks’.

Abstract

Cryptosporidiosis is a waterborne zoonosis caused by Cryptosporidium, which is a parasite that causes infection of the small intestine and leads to acute diarrhea in both humans and animals. Wild rats (Rattus spp.) are known to carry many zoonotic pathogens including Cryptosporidium. Given their close proximity to humans in urban environments, the likelihood of disease transmission is high. This study aims to detect the Cryptosporidium spp. infection in wild rats in Surabaya City, East Java Province. Intestinal fecal samples were collected using necropsy. The flotation test and Ziehl-Neelsen stain were used to observe the presence of Cryptosporidium under the microscope. The results showed that 69 samples were positive for Cryptosporidium spp. in the oocyst stage, which appeared dark pink with a clear cavity and the size of the oocysts ranged from 2-6 μm. The high incidence of cryptosporidiosis in wild rats is a potential health threat to both animals and humans.

Abstract

Newcastle disease (ND) is an acute poultry disease caused by Paramyxovirus group. It has characteristic neurological symptoms, called torticollis. The molecular assay to find out the presence of viral genes in the brain can be an option in detecting ND virus infections since it penetrates brain barrier system. The purpose of this study was to identify ND viruses in the brain of chickens with torticollis symptoms, to analyze its phylogenetic and to characterize its virulence genetic code. Samples used were 12 dead chickens with historically had torticollis symptoms, obtained from poultry farms at several areas in West Java and Banten. Chicken brains were prepared for reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. All positive samples then sequenced to obtain its nucleotide sequences from some of Fusion (F) genes analyzed its phylogenetic by comparing with Indonesian ND isolate virus from GenBank using Mega X software. The results of RT-PCR test showed that only one sample (Virus MSL.03) contained genes of ND virus. Based on homology tests and phylogenetic analysis, the virus belonged to subgenotype VIIh with an identical level of 95.34-95.86% when compared to several isolates from Indonesia. The MSL.03 ND virus has 112RRRKRF117 pattern in F0 indicatest its virulent category.
