Abstract

Cats are common companion animals that are susceptible to various parasitic infections, particularly under unsanitary environmental conditions. Apart from transmitting zoonotic infections, infected cats may also suffer from metabolic disorders, malnutrition, anemia, and even death. Fecal, hair, and ectoparasite samples from 170 cats (stray and domestic) were collected from 12 districts in Malang. Statistical tests (Chi-square, OR, and RR) and QGIS-based spatial mapping were employed for data analysis. The findings revealed that 46.4% (79/170) of gastrointestinal endoparasite cases involved Ancylostoma spp. (20.6%), Toxocara cati (19.4%), Toxascaris leonina (7.6%), Strongyloides spp. (2.9%), Dipylidium caninum (4.1%), Cystoisospora felis (5.8%), Cystoisospora rivolta (3.5%), and Toxoplasma gondii-like oocysts (1.1%). Ectoparasite infestations accounted for 52.9% (90/170), with Ctenocephalides felis (50.5%), Sarcoptes scabiei (3.5%), Felicola subrostratus (1.1%), and Rhipicephalus sanguineus (0.5%) being recorded. Risk factor analysis revealed a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between lifestyle and the prevalence rates of cat gastrointestinal endoparasite infections and ectoparasite infestations, while sex and altitude showed no significant correlation (p > 0.05) with either. The findings of the study bear significance for both human and animal health, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among preventive medicine, veterinary science, and public health, and providing a valuable evidence base to support policy development and targeted intervention programs aimed at controlling zoonotic parasites in companion animals, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas.

Abstract

Haemorrhagic Septicaemia (HS) is a devastating disease affecting cattle and water buffaloes in Indonesia, causing annual economic losses in livestock industries, particularly in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Pasteurella multocida, the causative agent of the disease, has shown increasing antimicrobial resistance, complicating treatment efforts. Therefore, this study aims to provide the first genomic analysis of P. multocida isolates from different Indonesian provinces, focusing on genes conferring resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics based on Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) results. Genomic data can be used to confirm the results of phenotypic antibiotic resistance testing. P. multocida isolates analyzed in this study were sourced from the Indonesian Research Center for Veterinary Science (IRCVS) collection, which included 2 samples originating from different geographic locations within Indonesia. The samples were subjected to biochemical, molecular, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. WGS was performed using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) with subsequent bioinformatics analysis for genome assembly and resistance profiling. Phenotypic analysis showed significant variations between the isolates. The NTT isolate showed resistance to Penicillin, while the Lampung 2952 remained susceptible in the disk antibiotic test. Genome sequencing revealed extensive resistance determinants, including β-lactamase genes (blaZ, blaR1) in the NTT isolate, correlating with its phenotypic resistance. The high-quality genome assemblies (N50: 17,225 bp for NTT; 12,662 bp for Lampung 2952) enabled comprehensive resistome characterization, identifying more than 22 resistance genes in each isolate, including novel variants not previously reported in Indonesian strains. Therefore, this study provides the first genomic and resistance analysis based on Whole Genomic Sequencing data of Indonesian P. multocida isolates. The results show the urgent need for enhanced surveillance and prudent antimicrobial use in livestock management.

Abstract

This study focuses on the morphology of the Nile tilapia local strain (Salina), a salinity-tolerant tilapia hybrid strain developed by crossbreeding between female Nile tilapia Red NIFI with male Nile tilapia Sultana. The research aimed to analyse the morphometric characteristics of the Salina strain to understand species adaptation to suboptimal environmental conditions compared with the parental groups. A total of 60 Nile tilapia fish, ten female and ten male samples from each strain (Salina, Sultana, and red NIFI), were measured for their total length (TL), standard length (SL), head length (HL), body width (WID), dorsal fin length (DL), caudal fin length (CL), pectoral fin length (PL), caudal peduncle depth (CPD), eye diameter (ED), snout length (SNL), and body weight (BW). Each measurement parameter was then normalized by comparing it with the standard length (SL). The data were analysed using MS Excel 2019 and R v4.5.1 for all statistical analysis including MANOVA, Canonical Variance Analysis, Principal Component Analysis, and Hierarchical Clustering Analysis. Condition factor (K) and length-weight relationship (LWR) were calculated to investigate growth conditions and allometric growth patterns, respectively. Based on the findings, the six tilapia populations exhibit overlapping morphological traits, except for female Salina with slight differences in morphological variations. This implies its potential unique traits acquired from crossbreeding between two different strains. Meanwhile, male Salina showed morphometric traits closely aligned with its male parent, the Sultana strain. The condition factor across all populations indicates favourable growth conditions, although the negative allometric growth pattern suggests that length increases more rapidly than body weight, implying an adaptive trade-off in suboptimal environments.

Abstract

In early 2023, there was an outbreak of lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle in Indonesia, with particularly high prevalence in Sleman, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Since then, cases of this disease have been increasing, causing significant economic losses to cattle and buffalo farmers. This study aimed to investigate the pathological changes caused by LSD virus infection in various organs of Sleman cattle. We investigated 15 animals from 10 farms. Skin samples were taken by biopsy. ELISA testing was performed on serum samples. We also performed necropsies on two LSD infected cow carcasses to observe the macroscopic and microscopic effects of the virus. During the necropsies, samples were obtained from skin nodules, skeletal muscle, and internal organs (lung, liver, kidney, lymphatic nodes, spleen, and digestive organs). These were subjected to histopathological examination using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Among the live animals, fever, lethargy, hypersalivation, and lacrimation were the most common clinical signs. Our qualitative descriptive analysis of the pathological changes, clinical signs, and ELISA results showed that LSD infection in cattle causes mild to severe damage to various organs. Our macroscopic examinations found that affected animals had skin nodules of varying sizes over the entire body. We observed mild to severe inflammation and hemorrhage in the internal organs, including the skeletal muscles, spleen, liver, heart, rumen, reticulum, abomasum, and small intestine. Based on this investigation, we conclude that, in addition to its effects on the skin, LSD causes pathological changes in various internal organs.

Abstract

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has been identified as a potential biomarker for assessing ovarian reserve and reproductive capacity in cattle, with high heritability and relatively stable expression. However, studies detecting AMH mRNA in bovine serum remain scarce due to the matrix’s inherently low RNA yield, susceptibility to degradation, and potential presence of PCR inhibitors. This study provides an exploratory validation of AMH mRNA detection in serum — a challenging matrix compared with ovarian tissue — using EvaGreen-based reverse transcriptase–quantitative PCR (RT–qPCR). Specific primers for the AMH and β-actin genes were designed in silico and validated through melting curve analysis and linearity testing. The results showed high amplification efficiency (AMH: 100.2%, R² = 0.994; β-actin: 109.1%, R² = 0.996), with specific amplification of both targets. AMH detection in serum samples was successful in some samples, while the β-actin gene was consistently amplified as a reference gene. Despite the low RNA quality from serum and the presence of organic contaminants, the method demonstrated its feasibility for detecting AMH transcripts in a minimally invasive manner. Physiologically, AMH levels positively correlate with antral follicle count, superovulation success, and embryo quality, and are sensitive to heat stress and other environmental factors. These findings provide a foundational basis for developing molecular diagnostic approaches based on AMH gene expression in cattle reproductive management programs and support the future development of efficient, accurate, and context-specific biomolecular-assisted selection technologies for tropical livestock systems.

Abstract

Cats are known to be potential reservoirs for a variety of zoonotic pathogens. However, the overall prevalence of zoonotic pathogens in the cat population remains unclear amid growing concerns. This study aimed to measure the combined prevalence of zoonotic pathogens in cats through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Relevant literature reporting the prevalence of zoonotic pathogens in cats, published from 2015 to 2025, was collected from databases. A total of 49 studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing a total sample size of 18,206 cats. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. Toxoplasma gondii, Bartonella henselae, and Campylobacter spp. were the most frequently reported pathogens, with pooled prevalence estimates presented with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The I² statistic was used to assess heterogeneity. The combined prevalence of zoonotic pathogens in cats was estimated at 24% (95% CI: 17–32%). Considerable heterogeneity was observed among the studies (I² = 98.4%, p < 0.001), and this likely reflects differences in geographic region, diagnostic methods, and pathogen type. Individual study prevalences ranged from 0.02 to 0.97, with varying weights according to sample size and variance. This meta-analysis highlights the relatively high prevalence of zoonotic pathogens among cats. The relevance of applying a One Health perspective is emphasized by these findings for the development of evidence-based public health policies to reduce zoonotic risks at the community and global levels.

Abstract

The uncinate process (UP), a dorsocaudal projection from the vertebral ribs, represents a pivotal adaptation in the avian thoracic skeleton, serving as a mechanical brace that enhances respiration and stabilizes the trunk during flight. This literature review synthesizes anatomical, functional, developmental, and evolutionary perspectives on UP morphology across diverse bird taxa. A systematic search spanning 2015–2025 identified 20 relevant studies detailing the structural variability of UPs—categorized as short, intermediate, or long—correlating with flight styles, such as soaring, diving, or terrestrial locomotion. Long UPs, observed in species like penguins and cormorants, are associated with enhanced ventilatory efficiency and thoracic rigidity for high-energy propulsion, while short UPs in flightless birds reflect reduced respiratory demand. Developmental studies reveal ontogenetic shifts from cartilaginous to ossified UPs, aligned with increasing locomotor activity. Evolutionary analysis underscores the UP as a conserved synapomorphy of Aves, with convergent elongation in unrelated taxa emphasizing its functional significance. Structural integration with intercostal musculature and adjacent ribs enables efficient force transmission and thoracic stabilization, vital for maintaining trunk posture during flight. Beyond its evolutionary relevance, UP morphology has practical implications in avian health, surgical ventilation strategies, and bioinspired biomechanical applications. This review highlights the UP as an underappreciated yet essential component of avian musculoskeletal architecture, offering insights into respiratory evolution, ecological adaptation, and comparative vertebrate anatomy. Future investigations should expand morphometric databases and apply high-resolution imaging and biomechanical modeling to further elucidate the functional roles of the UP in avian physiology and evolution.

Abstract

Appetite loss in animals can lead to significant health and productivity issues, particularly in agricultural systems. While pharmacological stimulants are commonly used, concerns regarding drug residues and antimicrobial resistance have led to an increased interest in natural alternatives such as acupuncture. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in enhancing appetite across various animal species. Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect for studies published between 2013 and 2025. Inclusion criteria focused on original research investigating acupuncture effects on feed intake, appetite behavior, or appetite-related biomarkers in animals. Data from 27 eligible studies were extracted and analyzed for species, acupoints, techniques, outcomes, and quality. The majority of studies (81.5%) demonstrated a significant increase in appetite or feed intake following acupuncture, particularly electroacupuncture targeting acupoints ST36 and SP6. Hormonal analysis in several studies revealed increased ghrelin and neuropeptide Y levels and reduced cortisol concentrations. Poultry and swine responded most rapidly to treatment, while ruminants showed gradual but sustained improvements. The overall risk of bias was low to moderate. Acupuncture is a promising non-pharmacological intervention to improve animal appetite through neuroendocrine regulation. It offers a sustainable, welfare-friendly approach compatible with organic and drug-free production systems. However, further standardized, large-scale studies are needed to establish clinical protocols and confirm long-term efficacy.
