Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of probiotic administration of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans isolate in improving feed intake, and body weight, and feed conversion rate (FCR) in broiler chicken. A total of 24 broiler chickens divided into four treatments i.e. (P0) was a group without probiotics, (P1), (P2), and (P3) were experimental treatment groups consist of probiotic 2 mL/day, 4 mL/day, and 6 mL/day per orally. In results, feed intake, body weight, and FCR values in all treatment groups (P1, P2, P3) were significantly different (p < 0.05) from (P0) group. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between P1 and P3 group. It can be concluded that the effect of B. subtilis and B. coagulans as probiotics with a dose of 4 mL/day had a noticeable impact on feed intake, body weight, and decreased FCR.

Abstract

Highlights:1. By investigating knockdown-resistance (kdr) mutations associated with insecticide resistance, this research addresses a critical gap in understanding how these mutations may affect vector control strategies on Mengare Island, Gresik, Indonesia.2. This study provides essential data on the current status of dengue virus serotypes and resistance mutations in mosquito populations across the region, guiding local health authorities in developing targeted vector control strategies. AbstractDengue fever, caused by the dengue virus (DENV), poses a significant public health challenge, particularly in tropical regions. This study aimed to detect flavivirus presence, DENV serotypes, and knockdown-resistance (kdr) mutations in mosquito samples collected from Mengare Island, Gresik, Indonesia. A cross-sectional experimental design was employed, utilizing reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for flavivirus detection and serotyping, as well as for identifying kdr mutations. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) extraction was performed using the Quick-RNA™ Miniprep Plus Kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA, USA), followed by RT-PCR with specific primers for DENV serotypes 1–4 and kdr mutations (V1016G and F1534C). Six adult female Aedes albopictus mosquitoes were analyzed in this study. The results revealed no evidence of flavivirus infection or DENV serotypes in the mosquito samples, as no complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) bands corresponding to expected base pair sizes were observed on the agarose gels. Similarly, the analysis of kdr mutations showed that all samples were homozygous wildtype, with no mutations detected at the V1016G or F1534C loci. In conclusion, these findings suggest the absence of active dengue virus transmission or notable insecticide resistance in the studied mosquito population from Mengare Island. This study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring of flavivirus presence and resistance mutations. The variability in kdr mutation frequencies across regions underscores the need for sustained surveillance and effective control measures to mitigate potential outbreaks in high-risk areas such as Mengare Island.

Abstract

The Cu(II)-EDTA complex is known to have antibacterial and antiviral potential, but its effectiveness against pathogenic bacteria and dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) still needs to be studied. This study synthesized and characterized the Cu(II)-EDTA complex of CuSO4 precursors, and then tested the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as the antiviral activity against DENV-2 in Vero cells. This study successfully synthesized and characterized the Cu(II)-EDTA complex using CuSO4 as a precursor through the solvothermal method, producing blue crystals with a Cu ratio of 1:1. DSC analysis showed thermal stability up to 250°C with an endothermal peak at 270-300°C. The particles are 6.31 nm in size with a PDI of 0.076, indicating uniform distribution with nanoparticle size (<100 nm). FTIR confirms the formation of the complex through significant shifts in the O-H and C=O bands. SEM shows a layered morphology that can affect the solubility and release of substances. UV-Vis shows maximum absorbance peaks of EDTA at 244 nm and CuSO4 at 740 nm. Antibacterial tests of Cu(II)-EDTA against E. coli and S. aureus showed that Cu(II)-EDTA had less activity than pure CuSO4. For DENV-2, CuSO4 was more effective with an EC50 value of 77.86 μg/mL, lower than Cu(II)-EDTA 356.13 μg/mL, indicating that CuSO4 was better at inhibiting viral replication.
