Abstract

Preserved preparations are sample preparations that are useful for looking at the morphology of ectoparasites, one of which is head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis). Making preserved preparations was carried out in 4 stages, starting with soaking the sample using 10% NaOH, dehydration, clearing, and mounting. Soaking the sample using 10% NaOH functions to soften the chitin layer on the exoskeleton which is the thick covering on the body surface of Pediculus humanus capitis. Therefore, in this research, optimization of temperature variations of the 10% NaOH immersion solution was carried out with temperature variations of 70°C, 75°C, 80°C, and 85°C to see the effectiveness of preparation formation. Each temperature variation was repeated 6 times so that 24 preparations were observed. In the research conducted, the most effective results were 70°C. The results of the research were then carried out statistical tests using the Kruskal Walis Test which obtained a figure of 0.004 > 0.005, which means that there was an influence of variations in heating temperature and 10% NaOH soaking on the quality of the Pediculus humanus capitis preparation.

Abstract

Blood parasite infections in exotic birds can lead to a decline in productivity, ultimately contributing to population reductions. This study aimed to identify the species of blood parasites, determine the infection proportion, and assess the significance of body mass and cage type as risk factors for blood parasite infection in captive exotic Psittaciformes housed in Prigen and Batu, East Java, Indonesia. A total of 330 blood smear samples were collected from 165 individual birds using a simple random sampling method. Blood parasite detection was conducted via microscopic examination of stained blood smears. The infection proportion was calculated by comparing the number of infected individuals to the total number examined. The associations between bird body mass and cage type with blood parasite infection were analyzed using the chi-square test, followed by the calculation of Odds Ratio (OR) and Relative Risk (RR) using SPSS software version 27. The identified blood parasite species included Haemoproteus spp., Leucocytozoon spp., and Plasmodium spp. The overall infection proportion among the examined Psittaciformes was 7.8%. Chi-Square analysis revealed no statistically significant associations (P > 0.05) between either body mass or cage type and infections with Plasmodium spp., Leucocytozoon spp., or mixed infections involving Plasmodium spp. and Haemoproteus spp.

Abstract

Flotation method and McMaster technique are widely used in the field of parasitology. They are used to examine the present and quantity of parasites eggs and oocysts in the fecal samples. They provide quick assessments to evaluate the condition of infection in the host. Nevertheless, there are few quantitative studies regarding testing different concentrations and gravities of the flotation method of Coccidia oocysts. The aim of this study is to evaluate different concentration of the saturated sodium chloride for the quantitating the oocysts of Coccidia via McMaster method. Twenty-seven positive samples were exposed into different concentrations of the saturated sodium chloride (per liter): 360 g, 300g, and 225g. The McMaster technique was used to count the coccidian oocysts in different chosen concentrations for each sample. The results of ANOVA reveal that there is no significant between the concentrations (P > 0.05). The overall finding of this study proposes that lower gravity of NaCl can be used to test the present of coccidian oocysts in the stool sample using the flotation and McMaster methods.

Abstract

Annually, over 700 million people suffer from mosquito borne diseases, some of which include yellow and dengue fever caused by Aedes aegypti. The use of chemical insecticides has led to pest resistance, environmental pollution and destruction of non-target organisms. This complete randomized study was carried out from June to August 2024, to investigate the larvicidal potential of the essential oil extract of Chromolaena odorata leaves against A. aegypti 4th instar larva. Data was analyzed using ANOVA and Probit regression analysis. Different concentrations ranging from 20%, 10%, 5%, and 2.5% were obtained by serial dilution using the dilution factor.  The result shows significant differences P<0.05 in toxicity level of the essential oil extract, which indicates considerable susceptibility of A. aegypti larvae when exposed to oil extract of C. odorata. Highest ethanoic leaf extract concentration of 20% recorded the highest mean mortality (4.33±0.88) while no mortality (0.00±0.00) was recorded at 2.5% concentration. Base on lethal time of exposure, the highest mean mortality was observed at 24 hours (4.67±0.07) followed by 12 hours (3.67±0.58) while the lowest mean mortality was recorded at 3 hours (1.00±0.47). Probit regression analysis showed that lethal concentration, LC50 was 30.21 mg/ml while LC90 was 245.8 mg/ml. The lethal time, LT50 and LT90 were found to be 29.58 hours and 297.8 hours respectively. C. odorata have shown a good larvicidal activity on A. aegypti, thus this suggest that it could serve as an alternative method to synthetic chemical control of the Zika virus, dengue and yellow fever vector.

Abstract

Zoonotic cestodes associated with wild rodents constitute an underrecognized component of neglected zoonotic diseases, particularly in resource-limited settings where ecological and sanitary conditions facilitate transmission. Although several rodent-borne cestodes, including Hymenolepis nana, Hymenolepis diminuta, Raillietina spp., and Inermicapsifer madagascariensis, are known to infect humans, their epidemiological significance remains insufficiently understood. This review synthesizes current evidence on the morphology, life cycles, host associations, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic challenges of zoonotic cestodes linked to wild rodents, with emphasis on their public health relevance. Available studies indicate that these infections are globally distributed but frequently underdiagnosed and underreported. Their predominantly asymptomatic nature, coupled with nonspecific clinical presentations and diagnostic limitations, contributes substantially to their neglected status. Children appear disproportionately affected, likely due to behavioral and hygiene-related factors that increase exposure risk. Rodents serve as important reservoirs, with numerous investigations documenting zoonotic cestode infections in peri-domestic and urban rodent populations. However, significant knowledge gaps persist regarding species diversity, geographical distribution, and transmission dynamics between rodents and humans. From a public health perspective, the overlooked nature of rodent-associated cestode infections highlights the need for improved surveillance, strengthened diagnostic capacity, and greater clinical awareness. Preventive strategies should prioritize sanitation, food safety, and health education, particularly in vulnerable populations. Addressing these gaps is essential for enhancing understanding of the epidemiology of zoonotic cestodes and for developing effective control and prevention measures.

Abstract

Ascariasis often occurs in poultry caused by the worm Ascaridia galli, a nematode worm from the same family as the worm Ascaris lumbricoides. Helminthiasis due to infection by Ascaridia galli often occurs in chickens, which becomes an obstacle causing failure in chicken cultivation. Infection by the worm Ascaridia galli often causes reduced growth rate and weight loss. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and intensity of the infection by Ascaridia galli in slaughterhouses in the Sukoharjo regency. The research was carried out using experimental methods, which took the worm Ascaridia galii out of the intestine of the chickens that had just been slaughtered. The samples were collected from the Animal Slaughterhouse (RPH ~Ind.) in Grogol of Sukoharjo of Central Java, totaling 49 intestines. The results were that of 49 chickens’ intestines examined, 1/49 were found positive for the worm A. galli, with a prevalence of 2.04% and an intensity of 15 worms per infected chicken intestine. This study also found that 5/49 eggs were positive, with a prevalence of 10.20% and an intensity of one egg per infected chicken intestine.
