Abstract

Background: One disease that often affects cats' health is infection caused by viruses, bacteria, or protozoa. Protozoa are parasites that can live in the cat's digestive tract. Purpose:  This study aims to determine the prevalence of digestive tract protozoa in local cats and determine the types of digestive tract protozoa that infect local cats in Harau District. This study also calculated the percentage of cats infected with protozoa based on the sex and age of the cat. Method: The examination method used in this research is the floating method. Examinations were carried out at the Animal Health and Disease Laboratory of the Payakumbuh State Agricultural Polytechnic on 50 feces samples from local cats kept in Harau District. Cat feces samples were taken using purposive sampling in Harau District. Results: The results of the examination showed that 7 out of 50 cat feces samples in Harau District tested positive for digestive tract protozoa with a prevalence of 14%. Two types of protozoa were found, namely Isospora spp. with a prevalence of 10%, Toxoplasma gondii 8% and double infections (Isospora spp and Toxoplasma gondii) with a prevalence of 4%. Based on the gender of cats infected with digestive tract protozoa, the percentage of male cats was 10.5% and female cats were 16.1%. Based on the age group of cats infected with digestive tract protozoa, the percentage was 20% in the kitten group (1-7 months), 15% in the juvenile group (7 months-2 years) and in the prime period group (2-6 years) none were positive. Conclusion: These findings highlight the presence and distribution patterns of protozoal infections in local feline populations, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive measures based on age and sex.

Abstract

Background: Skin diseases caused by ectoparasites are common health issues found in clinical cases involving domestic animals kept as pets. Scabiosis is a skin disease in livestock and companion animals caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei or Notoedres cati mites in the stratum corneum of the skin. Otitis externa is an inflammatory condition in the external ear canal. Toxocariosis is a disease brought on by parasites from the genus Toxocara. Hookworm disease is an infection by hookworms, Ancylostoma sp. Purpose:  To report the management of scabiosis, otitis externa, toxocariosis and ancylostomiasis in local cats. Case: The case animal was a male cat named Chipmunk, aged 3 years, with orange eyes and hair color, 2.4 kg body weight. The cat was examined due to redness on the back of the neck and scratching behavior while eating. Upon physical examination, the cat appeared active and behaved calmly with a scratching habit. The pruritus score was 8/10. The Body Condition Score (BCS) was 3 out of 9. There was alopecia and hyperkeratosis on the face, ears, and neck; crusts on the neck area and scales on the face and neck. The nasal mucosa was moist and the oral mucosa was pale pink. Abdominal palpation revealed a relatively firm consistency. Laboratory examinations conducted included complete blood count (CBC), superficial skin scraping, ear cerumen swab, direct microscopic examination, sedimentation, floatation, and egg per gram for feces. Case Management:  The treatment involved the administration of ivermectin and diphenhydramine injections, drontal, and prescribed medications included chlorpheneramine maleate, multivitamin, and fish oil. Conclusion: Treatment for scabiosis and otitis externa proved effective, as well as toxocariosis and ancylostomiasis clinically.

Abstract

Background: Chicken meat during processing may be exposed to bacterial contamination through several different ways. Electrolyzed water, as a new sanitizer, has gained popularity in food industry among many countries in recent years. The usage of electrolyzed water is a prospective, green conception and has several characteristics over conventional cleaning procedures which are safe for human beings and the environment. Purpose: This study was aimed to determine the sensory and bacteriological quality of chicken carcasses treated with different types of electrolyzed water. Method: Thirty-seven freshly slaughtered broiler chicken carcasses were completely immersed in clean container containing distilled water and electrolyzed water for 40 minutes, then sensory evaluated. For bacteriological analysis, chicken carcasses were divided into three groups, one for control, another group (Group I and II) and the chicken meat samples treated by immersion in neutral electrolyzed water for 20 and 40 minutes, respectively. Results: The mean value of colour scores of treated chicken carcasses was 4.9, 2.8, 4.5 and 3.7, for odour scores of treated chicken carcasses was 4.8, 2.6, 4.6 and 3.4, for general appearance scores of treated chicken carcasses was 4.9, 3.6, 4.6 and 3.9 for control, acidic, neutral and alkaline electrolyzed water, respectively. The bacteriological quality of treated chicken meat with neutral electrolyzed water was assessed. The mean values of aerobic plate counts for control, after treatment for 20 and 40 minutes were 5.40, 3.90 and 3.71 Log10 cfu/g, for enterobacteriacea were 3.63, 2.69 and 2.59 Log10 cfu/g, for Staphylococcus aureus were 2.99, 2.57 and 2.22 Log10 cfu/g, for Escherichia coli were 2.93, 2.18 and 1.94 Log10 cfu/g, respectively.  Conclusion: The results indicated immersion of chicken carcasses for 20 minutes in neutral electrolyzed water improved their bacteriological quality without adverse effect on sensory quality.

Abstract

Background: Upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) are significant disorders affecting the respiratory system, including the sinuses, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and lungs. Despite the clinical significance of URTI in feline populations, research on their prevalence in cats within Indonesia remains limited and underreported, highlighting the need for more comprehensive studies in this area. Purpose:  This study aims to determine the prevalence of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) in cats at Satwagia Intensive Care Bogor over a one-year period (August 2022 to August 2023). Method: Data for this study were collected from veterinary examinations of patients with confirmed URTI, sourced from the medical records of affected cats over the specified one-year period. A total of 124 confirmed cases of URTI were recorded. The data were analyzed descriptively, with results presented in tables, and compared against existing literature. Quantitative analysis included prevalence calculations, followed by ANOVA to assess the relationship between various subgroups, such as breed, gender, age, and monthly incidence and the occurrence of URTI. Results:  The prevalence of URTI in cats at Satwagia Intensive Care Bogor was found to be 23.98%. Domestic breeds showed the highest prevalence at 58%, with male cats accounting for 66% of the cases. Kittens demonstrated the highest prevalence at 66%, with ANOVA revealing significant age-related differences in URTI incidence. The highest monthly prevalence was observed in November, at 12%. Conclusion: Significant age-related differences and a peak in November suggest seasonal and demographic factors. This study provides important baseline data for feline URTI in Indonesia and emphasizes the need for targeted prevention and further research.

Abstract

Background: Papillomas are benign tumors that affect the skin or soft tissue beneath the skin. These papillomas can be accompanied by various abnormalities such as pustules, itching, hematomas, cysts, blisters, abscesses, lick granulomas, and skintags. While papillomas may resolve on their own, some cases require intensive treatment and management. Purpose: To provide veterinarians with insights into diagnosing and managing papilloma cases. Case: A 10-year-old male Golden Retriever presented with an open wound on the left front paw nail. The wound originated from a broken nail, which led to a non-healing wound over a period of 2 months. Clinical examination revealed a mass-like lesion that had ruptured. Palpation of the left front paw nail area indicated an irregular, lobular growth resembling grapes or cauliflower. Case Management:  Routine hematology revealed that the dog had microcytic hypochromic anemia, while blood chemistry indicated mildly reduced kidney function. Cytology confirmed that the wound was a papilloma. Treatment involved digit amputation to completely remove the tumor mass, along with wound care that included the application of ointments, antibiotics, analgesics, hematopoietic agents, anti-bleeding medication, and anti-cancer drugs. Supportive treatment included multivitamins, nerve supplements, immune supplements, and skin and coat supplements (Coatex). By the fifth postoperative day, the wound had dried, and the edges were healing well. Conclusion: Papillomas are benign and not harmful, but it is recommended to completely remove the tumor mass to prevent secondary infections.

Abstract

Background: Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is a highly contagious and frequently fatal disease, particularly affecting unvaccinated juvenile cats. Clinical manifestations typically include leukopenia, diarrhea, dehydration, vomiting, and depression. The disease exhibits high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in young animals without prior immunization. Purpose:  This report aims to provide clinical insight into the diagnosis and symptomatic management of FPV in domestic cats. Case: An 8-month-old unvaccinated female cat weighing 2.3 kg was presented with signs consistent with panleukopenia. The patient had not received deworming treatment and lived in a semi-outdoor environment with three other cats. Physical examination focused on the oral cavity, nasal passages, eyes, ears, and abdomen. Hematological findings supported suspicion of viral infection. The history revealed that the patient’s littermates had died after exhibiting similar symptoms. Case Management:  Therapy focused on symptomatic treatment, including the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics (ceftriaxone) to prevent secondary bacterial infections and reduce the risk of septicemia. Gastric protection was provided using ranitidine to inhibit gastric acid secretion and prevent complications such as ulcers and esophageal erosion. Supportive management also included fluid therapy and antidiarrheal care tailored to the patient's clinical status. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and appropriate symptomatic management significantly influence the outcome of FPV cases. Preventive strategies, including vaccination and routine deworming, remain essential in reducing the incidence and severity of infection. This case highlights the importance of early intervention and individualized treatment in improving recovery and survival rates in cats affected by panleukopenia.

Abstract

Background: Gastrointestinal parasitic infections remain a significant global health concern in livestock, involving parasites from the Trematoda, Cestoda, and Nematoda classes. These infections can severely impact animal health and productivity. Purpose:  This comparative study to evaluate the effectiveness of oral albendazole versus subcutaneous ivermectin in reducing gastrointestinal parasite infestations in cattle maintained at the Teaching Factory of the State Polytechnic of Lampung. Case: Eight cattle exhibited clinical signs including emaciation, dull coat, foul-smelling and dark-colored feces, with body temperatures ranging from 38.2°C to 38.6°C. Appetite and activity levels remained within normal limits. The animals had a recorded history of deworming (July 2023) and foot and mouth disease (FMD) vaccination. Case Management:  Anthelmintic therapy was administered using either oral albendazole or subcutaneous ivermectin. Conclusion: Gastrointestinal and ectoparasitic infestations can lead to significant economic losses in livestock production. Subcutaneous administration of ivermectin proved to be more effective than oral albendazole in reducing gastrointestinal parasite infestation in cattle.

Abstract

Background: Leptospirosis is a worldwide neglected zoonotic infection that affects both humans and animals in tropical and subtropical countries. Purpose:  The objective of this study was to determine the presence of leptospiral antibodies in rodents and shrews, as evidence of public health threat. Method: Sera from 202 rodents and shrews were prepared and tested against five live antigens to detect leptospiral antibodies by using microscopic agglutination test. Leptospiral serovars commonly reported in Tanzania namely; Sokoine, Pomona, Hebdomadis, Lora, and Grippotyphosa were used in this study. Face-to-face interviews about cause, clinical signs, transmission, treatment and risk practices were conducted.  Results: The overall prevalence of leptospiral antibodies in rodents and shrews was 14.36% (95% CI:0.0983-0.1996), whereby mastomys natalensis was a more predominant positive host species. Serovar Sokoine was more prevalent compared to other tested serovars. The antibody titers obtained in this study ranged from 1:20 to 1:80, which suggests a long-standing exposure of rodents and shrews to different leptospiral serovars. Awareness of respondents about leptospirosis was below 50% in all aspects of enquiry.  Conclusion: Given the human economic activities and the ecology of rodents and shrews in study area, the findings of this study suggest a public health threat. Therefore, rodents and shrews control should be encouraged but also  public and institutional efforts to prevent outbreaks are recommended.

Abstract

Background: Exploring the nematode diversity in silvery mole rats opens up a fascinating avenue for understanding the intricate relationships between underground-dwelling mammals and their parasites. It is intriguing to consider the potential transmission of parasitic zoonotic between humans, livestock, and silvery mole rats due to the notable interactions of these animals. Purpose:  This study aims to acquire crucial information about the nematode fauna in silvery mole rats in the Morogoro region, Tanzania. Method: A survey of nematode parasites in silvery mole rats was conducted in the Morogoro region, from March to June 2023. Collected rats were euthanized using Diethyl Ether, and dissected to remove the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Adult worms were collected and preserved in 70% ethanol. A flotation method and lactophenol mounting techniques were employed to process gastrointestinal contents and adult roundworms. The prevalence of nematodes was computed, and a chi-square test was applied to assess the relationship, a p-value< 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The examination of the gastrointestinal tract contents revealed two nematode taxa; Physaloptera spp and Strongyloides spp. The overall prevalence of nematode infection was 38.69% (53/137), with Physaloptera species being the most prevalent (37.22%). Adult rats had a lower infection risk than sub-adult rats. Female silvery mole rats were at higher risk of being infected compared to males. Conclusion: The study established two nematodes in silvery mole rats of Morogoro region, Tanzania, which are Physaloptera spp and Strongyloides spp.

Abstract

Background: Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a chronic oral inflammatory condition that often affects cats. The cause of this condition is reported to be closely related to the immune system in its pathogenesis and infectious agents such as feline calici virus (FCV) along with bacterial infections. Purpose:  To inform how to diagnose, and provides alternative treatment for patients with FCGS problem. Case: A cat presented for examination due to complaints of mouth scratching, such as food debris being stuck and the cat being very sensitive to touch at the mouth. The case cat was diagnosed with feline calici virus and eventually recovered. Before the case cat's recovery from FCV, the cat was very sensitive to touching its mouth. The case cat appeared generally healthy and active, but there was inflammation throughout the gums, also there was a foul odor. The palatoglossal area looked reddish, swollen, and there were ulcerative lesions. Supporting examinations performed were routine blood tests, oral swab cytology, and confirmation of Ag FCV and feline herpes virus (FHV-1) test kits due to suspicion of recurrence and other viral infections. Cytological swab examination showed neutrophils and blue coccus-shaped gram-positive bacteria, while the results of the Ag FCV and FHV test kits showed negative results. Based on all examination, the case animal was diagnosed with feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS). Case Management:  The therapy given included the administration of amoxicillin-clavulanate acid syrup antibiotics, methylprednisolone as anti-inflammatories, and multivitamin as supportive therapy. Conclusion: Evaluation of the treatment was carried out periodically and on day 21 the lesions found on the palatoglossal and the inflammation had disappeared.
