Abstract

Abstrak Tikus merupakan salah satu mamalia yang dapat menjadi sumber penularan di daerah endemis schistosomiasis. Telah dilakukan penangkapan tikus dengan perangkap di 22 daerah fokus keong yang tersebar di 6 desa di Dataran Tinggi Napu, Kabupaten Poso, Sulawesi Tengah untuk mengetahui tingkat infeksi Schistosoma japonicum pada tikus. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa tingkat infeksi pada tikus sebesar 22,7% (5/22), dimana tingkat infeksi pada Rattus norvegicus lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan Rattus exulans. Uji statistik dengan Fisher exact menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan antara spesies tikus dengan infeksi cacing Schistosoma japonicum (P = 0, 039). Pengendalian tikus sangat sulit dilakukan sehingga diperlukan kerja sama lintas sektor antara Kementerian Kesehatan, Pertanian, Kehutanan dan Taman Nasional Lore Lindu.
