Abstract

Cattle in Indonesia possess high reproductive potential, yet the widespread presence of parasites poses a serious threat to their health and productivity. The majority of cattle (99.81%) are traditionally managed by smallholder farmers, often leading to overlooked parasite management. Fascioliasis, caused by the genera Fasciola, Fascioloides, and Dicrocoelium, is a primary parasitic disease that hinders productivity, triggering reproductive disorders, stunted growth, and even mortality. Economic losses attributed to this disease were estimated at 500 billion rupiah annually in 1991, with prevalence once reaching 90%. This journal review synthesizes information from various literature, including journals, notes, and reports pertinent to the impact of parasites on cattle health and productivity in Indonesian smallholder farms. Indonesia's warm and humid tropical climate significantly supports the development of infective worm eggs and larvae. The importance of identifying risk factors and formulating effective prevention strategies is emphasized to optimize cattle productivity and mitigate socio-economic losses caused by parasites.

Abstract

Malaria merupakan penyakit menular serius dengan angka kesakitan tinggi dan menjadi penyebab kematian ketiga di dunia. Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh infeksi Plasmodium yang menyerang sel darah merah, memicu berbagai gangguan pada sistem peredaran darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji dampak infeksi Plasmodium sp terhadap darah manusia melalui studi literatur dari berbagai sumber ilmiah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa infeksi ini merusak struktur serta mengganggu fungsi darah, memengaruhi hampir semua komponennya. Faktor lingkungan seperti iklim dan persebaran wilayah turut meningkatkan risiko penularan malaria. Kelompok dengan mobilitas tinggi, seperti anak usia sekolah dan pekerja yang sering beraktivitas di luar ruangan, lebih rentan terinfeksi. Oleh karena itu, upaya pencegahan yang tepat sangat penting untuk menekan penyebaran penyakit ini.
