Abstract

Eimeria bovis is a pathogenic protozoan that causes cattle digestive tract infections, which can cause economic losses to farmers. It is necessary to develop specific and accurate detection methods to conserve livestock and prevent coccidiosis in Indonesia. This study aims to detect E. bovis by nested PCR and determine the relationship with reference sequences. A total of 167 samples of beef cattle feces were taken randomly from community farms spread across 18 provinces in Indonesia. The feces were examined natively, and then the oocysts were purified by the sugar flotation method, extracted by KIT extraction, and amplified by the nPCR technique. Positive samples were followed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis using MEGA 11 software. This study used two pairs of primers (outer and inner) taken from ITS-1 molecular markers. As many as 96 out of 167 samples (57.5%) were positive for Eimeria spp., and 48 of the 96 samples were positive for Eimeria spp. (50%) were detected to be positive for E. bovis based on the presence of a 238 bp DNA fragment. The results of the phylogenetic analysis showed that the study sample formed a separate cluster from the E. bovis cluster from abroad. In conclusion, E. bovis was detected in 16 out of 18 provinces in this study, and the nPCR technique proved to have better sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract

Trypanosoma evansi is a cause of the disease trypanosomiasis also known as surra. The trypomastigote stage can be found in the bloodstream and one of the clinical signs that appear during the course of the disease is anemia. The transmission of Trypanosoma evansi occurs non-cyclically through mechanical vector flies or oral transmission. This research aims to determine the relation between parasitemia levels and anemic conditions in domestic cats infected with Trypanosoma evansi. The objects used in this research are four domestic cats and divided into two groups based on the route of infection. The first group were infected with 108 Trypanosoma/µl (1 ml blood of an infected mice and PBS) through the subcutaneous route, and the second group was infected through the oral route by mixing carcass of infected mice and wet food. The examination of parasitemia levels in the blood samples of cats was observed daily using wet blood smear method and the hematological examination was collected within 10 days intervals during the experiment. The data of parasitemia levels and anemic condition in both groups were performed with descriptively and statistically analysis by using Independent T-test method. This research revealed that there was no significant effect (P>0.05) in anemia conditions between infection through subcutaneous and oral routes, and the level of parasitemia in the blood of domestic cats infected with Trypanosoma evansi affects the anemia condition, characterized by a decrease in the total value of erythrocyte, haemoglobin, and hematocrit.

Abstract

The uncinate process (UP), a dorsocaudal projection from the vertebral ribs, represents a pivotal adaptation in the avian thoracic skeleton, serving as a mechanical brace that enhances respiration and stabilizes the trunk during flight. This literature review synthesizes anatomical, functional, developmental, and evolutionary perspectives on UP morphology across diverse bird taxa. A systematic search spanning 2015–2025 identified 20 relevant studies detailing the structural variability of UPs—categorized as short, intermediate, or long—correlating with flight styles, such as soaring, diving, or terrestrial locomotion. Long UPs, observed in species like penguins and cormorants, are associated with enhanced ventilatory efficiency and thoracic rigidity for high-energy propulsion, while short UPs in flightless birds reflect reduced respiratory demand. Developmental studies reveal ontogenetic shifts from cartilaginous to ossified UPs, aligned with increasing locomotor activity. Evolutionary analysis underscores the UP as a conserved synapomorphy of Aves, with convergent elongation in unrelated taxa emphasizing its functional significance. Structural integration with intercostal musculature and adjacent ribs enables efficient force transmission and thoracic stabilization, vital for maintaining trunk posture during flight. Beyond its evolutionary relevance, UP morphology has practical implications in avian health, surgical ventilation strategies, and bioinspired biomechanical applications. This review highlights the UP as an underappreciated yet essential component of avian musculoskeletal architecture, offering insights into respiratory evolution, ecological adaptation, and comparative vertebrate anatomy. Future investigations should expand morphometric databases and apply high-resolution imaging and biomechanical modeling to further elucidate the functional roles of the UP in avian physiology and evolution.

Abstract

Appetite loss in animals can lead to significant health and productivity issues, particularly in agricultural systems. While pharmacological stimulants are commonly used, concerns regarding drug residues and antimicrobial resistance have led to an increased interest in natural alternatives such as acupuncture. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in enhancing appetite across various animal species. Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect for studies published between 2013 and 2025. Inclusion criteria focused on original research investigating acupuncture effects on feed intake, appetite behavior, or appetite-related biomarkers in animals. Data from 27 eligible studies were extracted and analyzed for species, acupoints, techniques, outcomes, and quality. The majority of studies (81.5%) demonstrated a significant increase in appetite or feed intake following acupuncture, particularly electroacupuncture targeting acupoints ST36 and SP6. Hormonal analysis in several studies revealed increased ghrelin and neuropeptide Y levels and reduced cortisol concentrations. Poultry and swine responded most rapidly to treatment, while ruminants showed gradual but sustained improvements. The overall risk of bias was low to moderate. Acupuncture is a promising non-pharmacological intervention to improve animal appetite through neuroendocrine regulation. It offers a sustainable, welfare-friendly approach compatible with organic and drug-free production systems. However, further standardized, large-scale studies are needed to establish clinical protocols and confirm long-term efficacy.
