Abstract

Anaplasmosis is a disease in dogs caused by intracellular gram-negative bacteria belonging to the Anaplasmataceae family. A 6-month-old mixed-breed golden retriever was examined at the Laboratory of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University, with complaints of itching, tick infestation, weakness, and decreased appetite. The clinical examination revealed pale mucous membranes in the mouth and eye conjunctiva, as well as an infestation of Rhipicephalus ticks on the skin. Routine hematological examination indicated the presence of anemia and thrombocytopenia. Blood smear examination confirmed the presence of Anaplasma sp. Treatment was provided in a causative and supportive manner. Causative therapy involved the administration of doxycycline at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight orally for twenty-eight days, ivermectin at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg body weight injected subcutaneously every two weeks for four weeks. Supportive therapy included the daily administration of Fufang E'jiao Jiang ®(Dong E Ejiao Co, Ltd., Shandong, China) at 2 ml/day and Sangobion® (PT. Merck Tbk, Jakarta, Indonesia) at  one tablet per day for fourteen days. Treatment with doxycycline, ivermectin, Fufang E'jiao Jiang® (Dong E Ejiao Co, Ltd., Shandong, China), and Sangobion® (PT. Merck Tbk, Jakarta, Indonesia) resulted in a positive outcome for the dog, with improved activity, hair growth, good appetite, and the absence of ticks.

Abstract

The protozoan parasites have been reported to infect Sumatran elephants. Gastrointestinal protozoa could potentially be a factor in the decline in the Sumatran elephant population in Indonesia. This study aims to identify the presence of gastrointestinal protozoa in Sumatran Elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus) in the Lombok Wildlife Park, North Lombok Regency, Indonesia. This research has used fresh fecal samples from 5 Sumatran elephants. The examination of feces samples using native, sedimentation, and floating methods. The research results have identified the presence of gastrointestinal protozoa in 2 of the 5 Sumatran elephant feces examined. The gastrointestinal protozoa found were Eimeria spp with dimensions of 16.30 x 20.93 μm and 25.21 x 38.49 μm.
