Abstract

Tick-borne viruses are becoming a serious threat to livestock health, especially in tropical regions where monitoring systems are still limited. H. bispinosa, the main external parasite of water buffalo in Eastern Indonesia, is suspected of carrying several veterinarians' important viral pathogens. This study aims to detect five viruses consisting of DNA viruses (BuGyKV, BoHV-1, and OvHV-2) and RNA viruses (FMDV and TAMV). FMDV and TAMV, both RNA viruses, need to be converted into complementary DNA (cDNA) through reverse transcription, which is then used as a template for PCR amplification using virus-specific primers. All viruses were detected using specific primers and extensive annealing temperature optimization. The results showed weak and nonspecific amplification bands at one temperature for BuGyKV, BoHV-1, and OvHV-2, but these bands did not match the expected amplicon size. No amplification bands were observed for FMDV and TAMV under any conditions. These findings suggest that this amplification failure is likely due to primer mismatch with local virus variants resulting from geographical differences. Overall, it can be concluded that the five target viruses were not detected in the H. bispinosa samples examined. This preliminary study provides an initial virological overview of H. bispinosa ticks from Moa Island and emphasizes the need for more sensitive detection methods, such as nested PCR, qPCR, or metagenomic approaches, to improve the detection of low-titer viruses in ticks.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the role of local wisdom in supporting environmental conservation in Kersik Tuo Village, Kayu Aro District, Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province. Research Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative data collection through interviews and participatory observation with quantitative analysis using SWOT and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Results: Local wisdom practices, including hunting prohibitions, crop rotation, and communal land management (gotong royong), remain actively practiced in Kersik Tuo Village. However, these practices face pressures from modernization, environmental degradation caused by intensive agriculture, and declining awareness among younger generations. SWOT and AHP analyses identified three priority conservation strategies: strengthening customary institutions, integrating local knowledge with modern science, and enhancing community participation. Conclusions: Local wisdom has significant potential to serve as a foundation for sustainable and adaptive environmental conservation, particularly in responding to contemporary ecological challenges. Limitations: This study is geographically limited to Kersik Tuo Village, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings to other regions with different socio-cultural conditions. Contributions: This study contributes to the development of community-based conservation frameworks by demonstrating the strategic importance of indigenous knowledge systems as a complement to scientific conservation approaches.

Abstract

Air quality monitoring is one of the important steps in maintaining public health and the environment. With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, air quality monitoring can be done in real-time and more efficiently. This study aims to environmental policy and design of an IoT-based air quality monitoring system using the ESP32 microcontroller. This system is designed to measure air quality parameters such as CO, NO2, temperature, and humidity using factory-calibrated sensors (DFRobot) connected to the ESP32 microcontroller. Data obtained from the sensors are processed by the ESP32 and sent to a cloud server via Wi-Fi, allowing real-time monitoring via the ThingSpeak platform which can be monitored via mobile devices or the web. The results of the air quality monitoring system design show that devices using electrochemical CO and NO sensors₂and the SHT30 sensor connected to the ESP32 is capable of reading and measuring CO, NOconcentrations., temperature, and humidity with good accuracy with a sample time of ± 20 seconds. In addition, this system can be connected online with the ThingSpeak platform, allowing visualization of measurement data in graphical form in real-time. Thus, the designed system not only functions optimally in detecting air quality parameters, but also supports efficient remote monitoring through Internet of Things (IoT) technology
