Abstract

Pigs can transmit zoonotic gastrointestinal parasitic diseases originating from protozoa and helminths to humans. Gastrointestinal nematodes in pigs are one of the factors that can impair animal health and reduce productivity. This study aimed to detect and determine the prevalence of nematode eggs in domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) in Jagaraga Village, Kuripan District, West Lombok. A total of 30 fresh fecal samples were collected randomly and examined using native and flotation methods. Nematodes were identified microscopically based on egg morphology. Three nematode species were detected, namely Ascaris suum (30%), Oesophagostomum dentatum (26.66%), and Trichuris suis (16.66%). The highest prevalence was observed in Ascaris suum. These findings indicate the presence of nematode infections in the study area, which may affect livestock productivity and pose a zoonotic risk. Therefore, improvement of pen sanitation, implementation of routine deworming programs, and regular surveillance are necessary to control gastrointestinal nematode infections.

Abstract

ABSTRACT. This study examines primate disturbances in community plantation areas in Rerebe Village, Tripe Jaya Subdistrict, Gayo Lues Regency. The research was conducted from November to December 2023 using observation and interview methods to identify the factors causing primate disturbances in community plantations, analyze the mitigation strategies employed by local communities, and identify primate species responsible for crop damage. Data were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach.The results revealed four primate species frequently disturbing community plantations: pig-tailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina), long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis), Thomas’s langur (Presbytis thomasi), and slow loris (Nycticebus coucang). Primate disturbances primarily occurred when plantations were left unattended by farmers. Damage caused by pig-tailed macaques, long-tailed macaques, and Thomas’s langurs was similar, affecting chili, coffee, avocado, cocoa, banana, jackfruit, and durian crops. In contrast, slow lorises were observed to damage only coffee and cocoa plants. Mitigation measures applied by the community included the use of metal traps, rubber tires, zinc materials, shouting, throwing stones, lighting bonfires, and maintaining routine guarding of plantation areas.

Abstract

Lead exposure exerts toxic effects on the female reproductive system, particularly on the ovaries and uterus, resulting in hypofunction and organ atrophy. Oxidative stress induced by lead accumulation may be attenuated by antioxidants such as vitamin E and zinc sulfate. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of vitamin E, zinc sulfate, and their combination on ovarian and uterus weights in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to lead acetate. Twenty-five female rats were randomly divided into five groups (K, T0, T1, T2, and T3) and treated orally for 21 days. On day 22, the rats were euthanized, and the ovaries and uterus were collected and weighed. The average ovarian weights for K, T0, T1, T2, and T3 were 25.80 ± 2.49; 18.62 ± 4.36; 28.40 ± 5.67; 33.78 ± 6.09; and 36.84 ± 5.15 mg, respectively. The average uterus weights for K, T0, T1, T2, and T3 were 292.48 ± 36.81; 249.96 ± 25.97; 315.86 ± 26.56; 325.54 ± 31.53; and 375.00 ± 36.55 mg, respectively. In conclusion, vitamin E and zinc sulfate demonstrated protective effects against lead-induced reproductive toxicity, with the combined treatment showing the greatest improvement in ovarian and uterus weights.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis remains a major challenge in human and veterinary medicine, emphasizing the importance of identifying novel therapeutic compounds. This study aimed to predict the most promising secondary metabolite of Physalis angulata as a quinol–cytochrome c reductase subunit B (QcrB) inhibitor using an in silico approach. Sequence alignment of QcrB proteins from M. tuberculosis and M. bovis demonstrated complete sequence identity, indicating that compounds targeting QcrB in M. tuberculosis may exhibit comparable binding behavior toward QcrB in M. bovis. Among 51 identified metabolites, nine satisfied drug-likeness and safety criteria and underwent molecular docking analysis. Docking simulations predicted that four metabolites occupied the QcrB binding pocket, with withaphysanolide A exhibiting the most favorable interaction profile based on predicted binding free energy and correspondence with reference residues. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) analysis predicted favorable pharmacokinetic and safety-related characteristics for withaphysanolide A. However, these findings should be interpreted in light of several limitations, including the use of rigid docking and the absence of molecular dynamics simulations. Collectively, the results suggest that withaphysanolide A may represent a promising QcrB inhibitor candidate for further investigation, although in vitro and in vivo validation remains necessary.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance has become a major global health concern affecting humans, animals, and the environment. The increasing occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria threatens the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy and poses serious public health risks. This review aims to describe the occurrence and distribution of antimicrobial resistant Escherichia coli across humans, animals, wildlife, and environmental sources using a One Health perspective. A literature review approach was conducted by collecting scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025 from international and national databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Articles were selected based on relevance to antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli within human, animal, and environmental contexts. The reviewed studies indicate that Escherichia coli isolates frequently show resistance to commonly used antibiotics such as ampicillin, tetracycline, fluoroquinolones, and third generation cephalosporins. Multidrug resistant strains and extended spectrum beta lactamase producing bacteria have been reported in clinical samples, livestock, companion animals, wildlife, and environmental samples including wastewater and river water. These findings highlight the interconnected nature of antimicrobial resistance transmission between humans, animals, and the environment. Integrated surveillance and responsible antibiotic use are essential to control the spread of antimicrobial resistance through the One Health approach

Abstract

Cigarette smoke induces oxidative stress that impairs kidney function, as reflected by increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels. Green tea extract (GTE), rich in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), is known for its antioxidant properties and potential nephroprotective effects. However, its role in protecting against cigarette smoke-induced renal injury remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of GTE in a dose-dependent manner using a mouse model. Twenty-five male Mus musculus were divided into five groups: negative control (C−), positive control exposed to cigarette smoke (C+), and three treatment groups receiving GTE at doses of 20, 40, and 60 mg/kg body weight (T1, T2, T3). GTE was administered orally for 36 days, followed by smoke exposure in a controlled chamber. On day 37, serum BUN and creatinine levels were measured. The C+ group showed significantly elevated BUN and creatinine levels compared to the C− group. GTE administration reduced these levels in a dose-dependent manner, with the greatest improvement observed in the T3 group (60 mg/kg), approaching normal values. These findings suggest that GTE effectively mitigates cigarette smoke-induced renal damage and holds promise as a natural nephroprotective agent

Abstract

The catching of hairy clams (Anadara antiquata) is carried out in shallow, muddy waters. Fishermen often catch these clams without limiting their size, which has an impact on population decline due to overfishing. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of fisheries extension on the adoption rate of environmentally friendly fishing gear, specifically the comparison of the use of rec, garit, and seser gear. The study was conducted from January to March 2026, in Banjarkemuning Village and Gisikcemandi Village. The total population of fishermen was 244 people with 188 research respondents consisting of 37 rec users, 64 garit users, and 81 seser users. The research method used a quantitative descriptive-comparative approach through field surveys, extension activities, pre-tests, post-tests, observations, and interviews. Data were analyzed using Normalized Gain (N-Gain), One Way ANOVA tests, and multiple linear regression. The results showed that fisheries extension effectively increased fishermen's knowledge with an average pre-test score of 54.26 increasing to 81.74 in the post-test, with an N-Gain value of 0.60 (moderate category). The adoption rate of environmentally friendly fishing gear after extension reached 67.86%, with details of seser users at 82.00%, garit 62.03%, and rek 46.67%. The results of the ANOVA test showed a significant difference in the effectiveness of extension between fishing gear groups (p<0.05). Regression analysis showed that education level, fishing experience, increased post-test scores, and perceived economic benefits significantly influenced the adoption rate, with increased knowledge as the dominant factor. Fisheries extension has been proven effective in increasing the adoption of environmentally friendly fishing gear in hairy clam fishing. Extension strategies based on fishermen's characteristics and economic benefits need to be developed to accelerate the adoption of sustainable fishing technology.
