Abstract

River water is potentially unsafe and polluted, which can cause serious infections. Waterborne infections are a major cause of global mortality and morbidity. In cases of diarrhea, this research aims to identify the types of parasitic protozoa and their distribution in waterways in Japan and Indonesia. This research reviews literature by collecting data from various sources, such as books, national and international scientific journals. The articles analyzed are original articles relating to protozoa in river water from both countries. In Japan, protozoa such as Henneguya were found in the Omoi River and Cryptosporidium parvum in several rivers in Hokkaido. In Indonesia, species such as Codonellopsis sp., Favella sp., Tintinnopsis sp., and Codonella sp. are found. in Sorong Regency, as well as various other types in West Bandung, Central Sulawesi and South Kalimantan. The diversity and distribution of protozoa is influenced by water quality, physical conditions, water chemistry, and human activities. This research can provide information regarding protozoa which can act as bioindicators of water quality. The presence and diversity of protozoa can provide an indication of the health condition of aquatic ecosystems. As a result, conservation efforts and management of aquatic ecosystems can be improved.

Abstract

Pesticides can have serious adverse effects on health, especially kidney failure, even though they are intended to manage pests. Examined in this scientific review is the connection between farmers' compromised kidney function and pesticide exposure. A laboratory method that involved taking samples of blood and urine and using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to analyze pesticide levels revealed a positive relationship between exposure to pesticides, particularly organophosphates, and higher levels of creatinine and urea, which are markers of kidney damage. Twenty-four percent of Indonesian farmers suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to data from five out of twelve publications. Poor personal hygiene and insufficient use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are risk factors that contribute to kidney damage. Pesticides may induce oxidative stress and inflammation in kidney tissues, according to a discussion of pathophysiological mechanisms. To safeguard farmers' kidney health, this journal review highlights the significance of routine health monitoring and instruction on safe pesticide use. To comprehend the underlying mechanisms of kidney damage caused by pesticide exposure and to create efficient preventative measures, more research is required.
