Abstract

This research aimed to identify ectoparasites infecting farmed striped catfish in Karangpilang Surabaya, Indonesia. Individual catfishes with visible lesions on the body surface and abnormal behaviors were included in the study. Mucilage samples of 90 fishes were examined under a microscope for the presence of ectoparasite on the body surface of the fish, in the area of gills, skins, fins, and tails. Gills were cut with scissors and combed with a tweezer. Skin and fin were also scrapped with a sterile scalpel. The mucus obtained was put on an object glass and was observed under the microscope. The fish pond water was analysed for Oxygen Demand (DO), pH and temperature three times two weeks apart, starting from the day of fish sampling. Results showed that 42.2% (n=90) of samples were infected by ectoparasites. The ectoparasites identified were Gyrodactylus sp., Dactylogyrus sp., Trichodina sp. and Chilodonella sp. Fish pond water in the study site was of suitable quality for the growth of catfish. This study suggested that pathogens other than ectoparasites play roles in the development of pathologic conditions of stripped catfishes in the study area.

Abstract

Scabies is an infectious disease which is caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mites and considered as an emerging/re-emerging parasitic disease. Recent study using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method has a higher sensitivity for detecting mites than using the skin scraping method. This study aims to detect the Second Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS-2) encoding gene of S. scabiei. ITS-2 is a highly conserved area and always used to identify and differentiate host species infected by S. scabiei. S. scabiei isolates were obtained from skin scrapings from stray cat suspected of being infected with Scabies from Pasar Induk Bondowoso, Pasar Tamanan and Pasar Pujer. Detection on the presence of S. scabiei was carried out microscopically and then confirmed by molecular examination using the PCR method and visualized by electrophoresis on 2% agarose gel. The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) results showed DNA bands at 304 bp Based on the result it can be concluded that samples are positively infected by Scabies can be detected by the ITS-2 encoding gene of Sarcoptes scabiei.
