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.

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.
