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

Sharks are predators in aquatic ecosystems that play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. The existence of sharks has become a topic of discussion in fisheries institutions due to the increase in shark hunting activities, especially for consumption. Disease problems in sharks, especially those caused by parasites, can lead to a decline in shark quality and have a negative impact on human health. This study aims to identify ectoparasites found on sharks at the Paotere Makassar Fish Landing Base. The method of this study involves collecting 11 shark samples, including mucus on the surface of the shark skin and organ mucus from the gills, randomly from 5 species of sharks. Parasite examination was carried out in the laboratory by adding a physiological NaCl solution to the sample, which was then placed on a glass slide before identification under a microscope. The results of this study showed the presence of parasites, including Trichodina sp., Chilodonella sp., and Anisakis sp.
