Abstract

IPB Taman Kencana Campus is one of IPB's campuses in the center of Bogor City. Its location in a public space and park area has led to an increase in the population of stray cats around this area. One problem found in stray cats on this campus is ectoparasite infestation. This study aims to investigate the presence of ectoparasite infestation in stray cats in the IPB Taman Kencana environment, Bogor. The study used 20 stray cats, consisting of 12 males and 8 females. The stray cats underwent physical examinations and ectoparasite identification. The results of the physical examinations showed that 100% of the stray cats were infested with ectoparasites, with more than one infestation or multiple infestations. The percentage of ectoparasite infestation in stray cats in the IPB Taman Kencana environment is 100% consisting of 90% infested with Ctenocephalides felis fleas, 55% infested with Otodectes cynotis mites, and 10% infested with Sarcoptes scabiei mites. Flea infestation is higher than mites, this is caused by direct contact between infected cats. High flea infestation in stray cats causes anemia, low BCS, thinness, stress, itching, dull hair, and baldness. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that there was an ectoparasite infestation in stray cats in the IPB Taman Kencana environment with a high degree of infestation.

Abstract

Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) can mutate into Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), which has high morbidity and mortality rates in cats worldwide and is transmitted through the fecal-oral route. The highest incidence of FCoV infection occurs in Europe (47.6%), including Germany (100%). Research on the prevalence of FCoV in Indonesia has not been widely reported. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of FCoV infection at Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic. Primary data were obtained from rapid combo test results (GIA, FCoV, FPV) confirmed positive for FCoV infection by veterinarians, and secondary data was obtained from the cats' medical records. The prevalence of FCoV during the period of August–September 2025 at Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic, based on breed category, was 69% in non-domestic breeds (χ² = 0.044; P<0.05). Based on sex, the prevalence was 69% in male cats (χ² = 0.025; P<0.05). Kittens showed a prevalence of 59% (χ² = 0.002; P<0.05). Based on living environment, indoor, semi-indoor, and outdoor cats showed a prevalence of 50%, while households owning more than one cat showed a prevalence of 78%. The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of FCoV infection at Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic falls within the moderate category.
