Abstract

Aspiculuris tetraptera is one of helminth parasite commonly found in mice. The response of the mice to parasite infection varies depending on various factors. Immune system is one of the factors that affect the occurrence of parasite infection in the host. The purpose of this study were to observe the parasitemia level and the immune respons of mice that infected with Aspiculuris before and after challenge infection. Mice were infected with Aspiculuris twice to see the development of parasite and the immune respon. Feces and blood samples were collected from the mice. Feces samples were examined by floating method to find the parasite egg, whereas blood samples were examined by blood smears to count the differential leukocytes. The result showed that Aspiculuris tetraptera eggs appear in the feces on the 20th day after infected as many 200 eggs/gram and increased on the 26th day as much 300 eggs/gram of feces. The peaks of eosinophils were on the 3rd and 6th days at 2.8% and 3.1% respectively. The level of Neutrophils and monocytes showed fluctuations but the trend decrease from day to day. Lymphocyte levels also showed fluctuations but tended to increase from the first day to the 26th day.

Abstract

Fractures are commonly find in the world of veterinary practitioners. Fractures do not only occur as a result of accidents, but can also occur due to bone diseases or due to an imbalance nutrition in animals. One method that can be used to increase the healing process is through bone implantation. Bone graft is a material to speed up the bone healing process because it can provide mechanical support and signals to the body's molecules to maximize tissue growth. Bone implants that are often used and commonly found are bovine bone implants. Another implant material that we can use is horse bone. Bone grafts from horse bones have not been widely studied. Horse bone has the potential to be used as bone graft material because it has a more compact and harder structure. The aim of this study was to asseess the haematological profile of fracture rabbit with horse bone graft. The experimental animal used was a rabbit. A total of 12 rabbits were divided into three groups, namely the control group, the group with horse bone graft, and the group with commercial bone graft. Horse bone graft is obtained from horse bone waste through sintering and hydroxyapatite synthesis processes. Blood collection was performed pre-surgery, week 2 and week 6 postoperatively to see the response and description of blood cells against bone graft. The results of hemoglobin and erythrocyte examinations showed no significant difference between the three groups (P<0.05). Hemoglobin level in rabbits implanted with horse bone grafts was still at normal levels, except for the erythrocyte levels which were slightly below normal after surgery.

Abstract

This study aims to detect the occurrence or absence of Theileria sp. parasitic infection in cattle grazed at the Tamangapa Makassar landfill. This research was conducted in January 2022- February 2023. Many samples used in this study were 43 samples from the total cattle population in the study site of 781 cows. The sample used in this study was blood made by Giemsa staining. The data analysis used in this study is descriptive analysis. The results showed that from 43 samples there were 31 negative samples and 12 samples were positive for Theileria sp. in cattle grazed at the Tamangapa Makassar landfill. This can be seen from observations under a microscope, which is seen the formation of rods or sticks in erythrocyte cells. The positive samples were divided into several categories, based on the sex of the presentation of Theileria sp. cases in female cattle (32.43%) higher than in males (0%). Based on age, the ≥2 (39%) year old category is higher than the <2 years old category (20%). The conclusion of this study was that in cattle at the Tamangapa Makassar landfill, there was a parasitic infection with Theileria sp. and the incidence presentation was 27.91%. The suggestion for this study is that further research should be carried out in the future using diagnostic tests in determining species using PCR. In addition, researchers can then pay better attention to conditions that can be risk factors for this disease.

Abstract

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a term used to describe a condition that can affect the urinary bladder and lower urinary tract. Cystitis is an inflammatory disease of the urinary bladder caused by infectious and non-infectious agents, namely urine crystals. The occurrence of crystals in the urinary tract often occurs in cats that consume high-mineral and calcium feed without adequate water intake. The cat case complained of not urinating for three days, abdominal distension, and pain in the urinary bladder. Examination methods with routine hematology, ultrasonography, native tests, urine dipsticks, bacterial cultures, and native tests were carried out at the Unhas Veterinary Teaching Hospital. The diagnosis of Cystitis was confirmed by laboratory examination results found struvite crystals found >10 crystals/HPF, ultrasound examination showed hyperechoic appearance in the urinary bladder, urine dipstick test pH 7.5 and protein +++, hematology results found an increase in MCV values ​​and a decrease in Hb, MCHC and PCT indicators. . Handling of this case with catheter installation and fluid therapy. Treatment with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and supportive drugs vitamins and immune boosters.

Abstract

Cryptocaryon irritans, known as cryptocaryonosis disease infection in fish, is a significant problem for aquarists because they not only cause the disease but also lead to high mortality in the aquarium population. This case report aims to identify  Cryptocaryon irritans infection in four Indian Ocean oriental sweetlips at the Jakarta Aquarium and Safari. Before they died, a total of four fish showed signs of weakness, scratching, excessive mucus, and pale gills. The diagnosis was confirmed through clinical assessment, physical examination, and microscopic analysis of skin scrape and gill clip samples, which revealed the presence of numerous trophonts (the young immature stages) of C. irritans. These findings underscore the importance of vigilant monitoring and prompt intervention to mitigate the impact of C. irritans, especially on marine aquarium fish populations.

Abstract

Domestic cats (Felis catus) have become increasingly popular companion animals worldwide, yet remain vulnerable to helminth infections with zoonotic potential. This study aimed to identify gastrointestinal nematodes infecting pet cats in Makassar City, Indonesia. Seventy-nine fecal samples were collected from veterinary clinics across Makassar and analyzed using direct smear and flotation techniques. Results revealed a 7.5% (6/79) prevalence of nematode infections, comprising Toxocara sp. (5.1%, 4/79) and Ancylostoma sp. (2.5%, 2/79). Both species pose significant zoonotic risks to human health. These findings underscore the necessity of regular anthelmintic treatment and owner education programs to control parasitic infections in urban pet cats and mitigate public health hazards
