Abstract

Background: Parasitic infections in wild animals housed in captivity pose a threat to the success of animal conservation endeavors. Factors such as environmental contamination, abrupt alterations in ecological circumstances, and spatial constraints render captive animals vulnerable to stress, consequently compromising their immune systems. These infections have a notable impact on the host. Furthermore, not only captive animals but also personnel, visitors, and the public at large can be at risk of contracting parasites that have the potential to infect various species. Purpose:  This study seeks to ascertain the occurrence of gastrointestinal endoparasitic infections in lions housed at the Gurun Putih Lestari Safari Park in Jantho, district of Aceh Besar. Method: Samples were collected from five lions housed at Gurun Putih Lestari Safari Park in Jantho, district of Aceh Besar. The sampling procedure involved direct collection of lion feces, which were then placed in containers with 10% formalin and labelled accordingly. Sampling was conducted three times at 15-day intervals. The fecal samples were analyzed using four methods: flotation, sedimentation, formol ether, and modified Ziehl-Neelsen method. Results:  The analysis of fecal samples revealed that three adult lions were found to be infected with Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina, Ancylostoma spp., and Cystoisospora rivolta, while two lion cubs were solely infected with Toxocara cati and Ancylostoma spp. Notably, the modified Ziehl-Neelsen technique did not detect any gastrointestinal endoparasites. Conclusion: The findings suggest that lions housed at Gurun Putih Lestari Safari Park in Jantho, district of Aceh Besar are infected by gastrointestinal parasites. It is recommended to administer deworming treatment to lions as a preventive measure against a surge in parasitic infection among the lion population.

Abstract

Background: Mosquito coil smoke is one of the exogenous free radicals. Exposure to mosquito coil smoke is associated with lung inflammation, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Compounds that can inhibit the oxidation reaction by binding free radicals are known as antioxidants. Purpose:  This study aims to determine the effectiveness of basil leaf extract (Ocimum basilicum L.) as an antioxidant on damage to the histological structure of the lung of white rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to mosquito coil smoke. Method: Rats were divided into five groups;  group without treatment as negative control C(-) was given 0.5% CMC Na, group as positive control C(+) was given 0.5% CMC Na before mosquito coil smoke exposure, and three groups that treated with 150 T(1), 300 T(2), and 600mg/kgBW T(3) of basil leaves extract before mosquito coil smoke exposure. Exposure to mosquito coil smoke was given for 8 hours a day for 52 days. All rats were terminated after 52 days of treatment; the histopathology of the lungs was observed under the microscope at 400× magnification within five visual different fields. The analysis was done by observing the severity. Statistical analysis in this study used Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test.  Results: The result showed that the control group and treatment group had significantly different lung damage (p<0.05). Conclusion:  All doses of basil leaf extract reduce lung damage in infiltration of inflammation of  cells, thickening of alveolar wall, and enlarge alveolar in rats. The effective dose of basil leaf extract is 600 mg/kgBW in reducing the lung damage.

Abstract

Background: Ectoparasites play a significant role in facilitating the transmission of disease pathogens and parasites that affect animals and humans. Purpose:  This study aims to assess the prevalence of ectoparasites and hemoparasites in rodents from the Kilwa district, Tanzania. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted to trap 138 rodents using Sherman and wire cage traps. Ectoparasites were removed from rodents by using fine brushes and identified based on morphological features using a Stereo microscope with the assistance of dichotomous taxonomic keys. Blood samples were collected from supraorbital veins in captured rodents, and thick and thin smears were made, stained and examined using a Compound Microscope for screening hemoparasite. Results: The overall prevalence of ectoparasites in rodents was 57.87 % with a high infestation of rodents by Echinolaelaps (Laelaps) echidninus (44.20%) than Laelaps nuttalli (10.87%), Xenopsylla cheopis (12.32%), and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (2.90%). Most ectoparasites were found in M. natalensis 76.40% followed by R. rattus 25.81%, and G. leucogaster 36.36%. Adult rodents recorded 63.41% of ectoparasites prevalence higher than juveniles 13.33% (p< 0.05). The overall prevalence of hemoparasites in rodents was 18.12%. The identified hemoparasites were Anaplasma sp. (13.04%), Babesia sp. (3.62%), and Trypanosoma sp. (1.45%) observed only in adult rodents. Conclusion: The study recommends engaging and encouraging the community to use integrated pest management practices for rodents and ectoparasite control and prevention to safeguard both human and animal health.

Abstract

Background: Rodents and shrews serve as a reservoirs and final hosts of various parasitic agents. Different factors are known to affect the diversity and distribution of the parasites harbored by them. Little is known on the factors affecting the diversity and distribution of parasites in rodents and shrews found at different elevations in Iringa District. Understanding these factors is crucial to comprehending how parasitic populations among small mammals spread. Purpose:  This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with the diversity and distribution of ectoparasites and hemoparasites in rodents and shrews in Iringa. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in selected sites between March and June 2023. Rodents and shrews were captured using Sherman and wire traps, euthanized, and then their sex and species were identified. After that, ectoparasites, blood and tissue sample were collected and processed. The diversity and distribution of parasites at different sites were calculated using the Shannon-Wiener Index formula. Results:  The overall prevalence of hemoparasites infection was 24.2 % (50/207), dominated by Anaplasma centrale (17.4%:36/207) followed by Plasmodium spp. (8.7%:18/207) and Anaplasma marginale (4.4%:9/207).  A total of 713 ectoparasites belonging to five taxa were recovered from small mammals with an overall prevalence of 55.1% (114/207), dominated by mites; Echinolaelaps echidninus 46.4% (96/207), followed by lice; Polyplax spinulosa 16.9% (35/207), tick Hemaphysalis spp. 7.3% (15/207), and two flea taxa; Dinopsylla lypusus 2.9% (6/207) and Xenopsylla cheopis 1% (2/207). Conclusion: The high occurrence of Anaplasma centrale and Echinolaelaps echidninus suggests potential ecological and public health significance.

Abstract

Background: Trypanosomiasis is a disease mainly encountered in tropical regions and is significant to both humans and animals. Rodents and their fleas have been found to play a major role in the transmission of trypanosomiasis to humans. Purpose:  This study aimed to examine the seasonal variation and molecular characterization of Trypanosoma species from rodents in Kilombero. Method: The study employed a cross-sectional design. A total of 387 rodents were captured, and anesthetized with Diethyl Ether to collect blood, spleen, and liver. Rodent tissues were tested with conventional PCR and sequencing to target the 18S rRNA and ITS1 genes. Results:  The most prevalent species was Mastomys natalensis 82.43% (319/387), followed by Rattus rattus 16.79% (65/387), Gramomys spp. 0.52% (2/387), and the least captured species Lemnscomys spp. 0.26% (1/387). Overall microscopic prevalence was 38.76% (n=150/387), and PCR indicated prevalence of Trypanosoma spp. to be 6.28% (n=10/159). Male rodents had a higher molecular prevalence of Trypanosoma spp., and a higher molecular prevalence of Trypanosoma spp. was observed in the dry season. Conclusion: Detection of T. lewisi from the rodents shows the public health significance in the study area. As a result, it is critical to use prevention and control measures in rodents to minimize potential human exposure within the area.
