Abstract

Fascioliasis, also known as hepatic distomatosis or fasciolosis, is a zoonotic infection caused by the trematodes of Fasciola. The usual reservoir for this parasitic disease is herbivorous mammals, including humans, sheep, goats, and cattle. However, humans can contract this zoonosis infection by ingesting metacercaria, a juvenile trematode stage, which adheres to aquatic vegetation. Fascioliasis is typically present asymptomatically. However, human fascioliasis may have symptoms such as eosinophilia, abdominal discomfort, and various corroborative findings covering multiple diagnostic modalities. These diagnostic options include parasitological fecal examination, which observes the parasite in the feces; radiological imaging techniques, which envision the anatomical abnormalities created by the invasion; and serological studies, which could detect the immune response system to the infestation of the parasite. This review article aims to characterize fascioliasis in terms of zoonotic occurrence, outline the available diagnostic modalities, and highlight the specific significance of radiological imaging. This may contribute to the timely and adequate identification of the condition. This review article may contribute to forming the professional dialogue concerning fascioliasis, including its epidemiology, clinical presentation, and differential diagnostics

Abstract

This study was carried out to assess the occurrence of endoparasites in (Tilapia zillii (Gervais, 1848)) from Tono reservoir, Navrongo Ghana. A total of 120 fish samples were collected from the upstream, midstream and downstream regions of the reservoir using cast nets. All the collected fish samples were transported to the research laboratory in the University for Development Studies and examined for ectoparasites during January 2022 to August 2022. Five ectoparasites namely Trichodina sp. of Protozoans ciliates, Dactyolgyrus sp. of Monogenean, Argulus sp. and Lernaea sp. of Crustaceans and the Diplostomum sp were identified.  Overall prevalence of the fish parasites was 52.32 %. Intensity of the parasites observed ranged between 1.58% to 3.52%. Highest prevalence 70 % was reported in dry season while lowest (31.67%) was reported in the rainy season. Female fish samples had higher prevalence (64.47 %) than males (27.27 %). Fishes of downstream had highest prevalence (92.5 %) than upstream (17.5 %). Fish samples with maximum length and weight were highly (65.15 %) infected than small sized fish with low body length and weight (33.33 %). It is debatable if the degree of ectoparasite activity found in this study will constitute a serious danger to the local fish population. Yet, in order to stop disease outbreaks brought on by an increase in ectoparasites, the reservoir must be given significant attention by using optimum management strategies. This study shows that dry season  affects the fish business and result in poor quality fish meat with risk of diseases infection.

Abstract

Trematode worm infections in dairy cattle have not been widely reported in various regions in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the prevalence and degree of trematode worm infection in Friesian Holstein dairy cattle at KUTT Suka Makmur, Pasuruan. The research design used survey study and cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in July-September 2023. The number of samples taken was 100, which were selected from proportional random sampling of four sub-districts, namely Grati, Nguling, Lekok, and Lumbang, with the age ranges under a year, 1-2 years, and above 2 years. The sample were examined using the sedimentation method and Flukenfinder® method. Positive samples were further examined using the McMaster method to determine the number of worm eggs per gram of feces. The results of this study obtained a prevalence of 54% with low and moderate degrees of infection. The trematode worm species found through fecal examination were Fasciola gigantica and Paramphistomum cervi. The results of chi square statistical analysis showed that sample examination method and age were related to the prevalence of trematode worms, yet location was not related to the prevalence of trematode worms. The results of kruskal wallis statistical analysis showed that age and location influence the degree of trematode worm infection.

Abstract

Dermatophytosis, a dermatological condition caused by dermatophyte fungi, affects the superficial keratinized structures of the skin. The primary etiological agents include the genera Microsporum, Trichophyton, and Epidermophyton. This study examines the incidence and characteristics of dermatophytosis lesions in domestic cats (Felis catus) at Go Pet Care Animal Clinic from 2020 to 2022. The research utilized secondary data from the clinic's medical records, which is a significant reference institution in Kabupaten Bandung Barat, to assess the prevalence and features of dermatophytosis within this population. The findings revealed a prevalence of 7.5% in 2020, 11.3% in 2021, and 3.7% in 2022. The incidence was highest in cats under 1 year of age, with a notable frequency in Persian breed cats and males. Common lesions identified included localized alopecia primarily in the ear region, alopecia in the back region, and crust formation also in the back area. This study provides critical insights into the epidemiology and clinical presentation of dermatophytosis in domestic cats, offering guidance for improved diagnosis and management of the condition.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic (2019-2021) resulted in a surge in pet adoptions, potentially elevating the risk of various diseases in domestic cats, including scabies. Scabies, a highly contagious dermatological condition, is primarily caused by parasitic mites such as Notoedres cati and Sarcoptes scabiei. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, clinical manifestations, and associated risk factors of scabies in domestic cats at Go Pet Care Animal Clinic in West Bandung Regency over the period from 2020 to 2022. Utilizing a cross-sectional study design, secondary data were extracted from medical records and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 29.0.1.0. A chi-square test was performed with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05) to assess the statistical significance of the findings. Out of 71 cats diagnosed with scabies, the highest incidence was observed in cats under one year of age (kittens), long-haired breeds, and females. The prevalence of scabies showed a significant increase, rising from 2% to 11.2% over the study period. Common clinical manifestations included alopecia and crusting. Statistical analysis revealed that age was a significant risk factor influencing the prevalence of scabies. These findings underscore the need for heightened awareness and preventive measures for scabies, particularly in younger and long-haired cats.

Abstract

In the cultivation of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), parasitic worms can be detrimental in the form of mortality, resulting in increased financial losses. This study aimed to detect and identify parasitic worms in tilapia cultivated in Tanjung Bunga Lake. This study was conducted in March-April 2024. Fifty eight tilapia fish samples were randomly sampled at seven lake points and water sample for water quality examination including pH, salinity, temperature, dissove oxigen, nitrate, nitrite, and amonia. The identification results showed that only Cichlidogyrus sp.  were worm parasites found in tilapia samples. This research indicates that Cichlidogyrus is the most frequent worm infecting the gills of tilapia in the lake, which could result in greater financial losses and a decline in health for fish producers in the region. The results emphasize the necessity of efficient management strategies to minimize parasitic infections in tilapia aquaculture systems.

Abstract

Schistosomiasis is a zoonotic health problem caused by infection with the schistosoma class parasite, which lives in human blood vessels and around the intestines and bladder. Intermediate hosts in the form of snails and definitive hosts in animals and humans can be influenced by physical, chemical and biological environmental conditions. Schistosomiasis in Indonesia is caused by the trematode worm Schistosoma japonica (S. japonicum) with the intermediate host being the snail Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis. Schistosomiasis is still a public health problem in endemic areas. In Indonesia, schistosomiasis is only found in Central Sulawesi Province, namely the Napu Plateau and Bada Plateau, Poso Regency and Lindu Plateau, Sigi Regency. S. japonica is currently endemic in three very remote areas in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. An integrated schistosomiasis control program has been implemented, however, the reported prevalence data shows a trend of increasing schistosomiasis prevalence in three endemic areas in Central Sulawesi. Eliminating schistosomiasis in Indonesia is not easy. This review will examine several challenges hindering the implementation and sustainability of schistosomiasis elimination programs, including the S. japonica intermediate snail control program and the use of medicinal plants for the treatment of schistosomiasis.

Abstract

Acathina fulica is a terrestrial mollusk that often invades terrestrial vegetation that has tropical and subtropical climates. Acathina fulica has been widely reported in environments as diverse as urban areas, forests, capoeiras, caatings, plantations, decomposing materials, savannahs and vegetable gardens. Soil is source of food and a defense strategy for A. fulica, therefore it has an important role for them. Therefore, A. fulica may be host several species of nematodes. Microscopic examination of snails A. fulica fecal samples in Cemorokandang Village, Malang City using the native method aimed to detect Rhabditis spp. The results showed that 14 (12.5%) out of 112 samples contained Rhabditis spp. The genus rhabditis belongs to the Rhabditidae family and is one of the free-living nematodes. This species has long been known and of concern in the veterinary world. The genus rhabditis has been reported to have infected humans and have been isolated from urine samples, vaginal swab, and human stool. The research was conducted in the dry season with low rainfall. Nematode of the genus Rhabditis spp. can be naturally found in humid places and decaying organic matter.
