Abstract

The practice of keeping pet animals have gained popularity in society, with the owning number of pets that reach 67%, particularly 37% for cats and 16% for dogs. Since animals have been considered family members nowadays, keeping them means that the owner is willing to contribute to maintaining their health and hygiene, which is crucial to prevent the spread of diseases that can affect both the pet and their owner. One common issue in animal health is the infection caused by the ear mite called Otodectes cynotis, which can lead to external ear canal inflammation. Current treatment for Otodectes cynotis infection is utilizing the topical application of synthetic drugs that contain antiparasitic synthetical drugs inside such as ivermectin and doramectin, due to the potential side effects and the threat caused by the tight therapy dose index in antiparasitic drugs, the alternative treatments including modified cotton buds and the use of herbal remedies have been developed to upgrade, to solve and to invent the novelty of science. This research aims to prove the hypothesis of the effectiveness of soursop leaf extract in eradicating Otodectes cynotis in animals, prescribing the required concentration to generate effective results yet to investigate the potential of modified cotton buds as a product of equipment. The outcomes of this study are expected to facilitate the development of knowledge in parasitic drugs and herbal medicine substitutes yet to innovate the more practical way to perform drug therapy for external otitis in pet animals caused by Otodectes cynotis

Abstract

African Swine Fever Virus (ASF) is a viral disease in pigs that affects the supply of food of animal origin.  ASF is caused by a double-stranded DNA virus of the family Asfarviridae and genus Asfivirus, which can be transmitted and causes various bleeding events in the internal organs and is accompanied by a very high mortality rate.  This disease is generally characterized by fever, lack of appetite, and bleeding from the skin, back, and legs.  Even though this virus is not zoonotic and cannot be transmitted to humans, it is fatal and causes tremendous economic loss.  This disease spread throughout Asia in a relatively short time in 2019, and it has even been reported that this disease has entered Indonesia since the end of 2019.  The impact of this infection resulted in socioeconomic changes in both rural and urban communities, which could then affect the country's economy at the macro level.  Several countries are needed in their efforts to control ASF, one of which is to increase quarantine, limit the traffic of pigs, and reduce the population of sick pigs exposed to the ASF virus.
