Abstract

Dermatophytosis, a significant health issue in cats, is a dermatological condition caused by dermatophyte fungi, primarily involving the genera Microsporum, Trichophyton, and Epidermophyton. This study investigates the prevalence of dermatophytosis in cats at Alfa Animal Clinic, Banda Aceh, from June to November 2023. The prevalence of dermatophytosis varies geographically, influenced by climate, environmental conditions, and owner awareness. This study found a prevalence rate of 1.040% with 51 cases among 490 cats. The research highlights the need for improved hygiene practices, regular veterinary check-ups, and education for pet owners to manage and prevent dermatophytosis. The findings underscore the importance of ongoing surveillance and targeted interventions to control this zoonotic infection, ensuring better health outcomes for the feline population.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the histological and histomorphometric characteristics of the skin of domestic fowl (Gallus gallus domesticus), ducks (Anas platyrhynchos), and doves (Columba livia) in the ventral abdominal region. Each study sample consisted of six individuals. The samples were processed into histological preparations with a thickness of 5 m and then stained using Haematoxylin-Eosin (HE). The results showed that the histological structure of the skin of domestic fowl, ducks, and doves is relatively thin compared to the structure of mammalian skin and consists of the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutis). The histomorphometric data analysis showed that the thickness of the epidermal layer of the skin in the ventral abdominal region of domestic fowl, ducks, and doves was not significantly different (P0.05), but there were significant differences (P0.05) in the thickness of the dermis and hypodermis. It can be concluded that a similarity exists in the histological structure of the skin of domestic fowl, ducks, and doves, but differences are observed in the histomorphometric properties of the skin in the ventral abdominal region of these birds.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of egg laying behavior on containers on the density of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquito larvae in Gampong Kopelma Darussalam, Syiah Kuala District. Sampling was conducted using a simple random sampling technique by surveying larvae in containers from 100 houses. This was followed by the identification of mosquito larval species, and the data were analyzed using entomological indices and Chi-Square tests. Based on the calculation of the entomological index in Gampong Kopelma Darussalam, Syiah Kuala District obtained the values of the House Index, Container Index, and Breteau Index for containers outside the house are 15%, 28.3%, and 17% and the values of House Index, Container Index and Breteau Index for containers in the house are 26%, 13.1%, and 29% so that it can be categorized that the density of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquito larvae in Gampong Kopelma Darussalam, Syiah Kuala District is moderate. The results showed that Aedes aegypti was found to be more than 85.1% compared to Aedes albopictus 14.9%. The analysis results showed a relationship between the type, location, material, size, and color of the container with the presence of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae in contrast to Aedes albopictus mosquito larvae which showed a relationship with the type, location, and material of the container. The results indicated that Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae were predominantly found in containers inside the house, whereas Aedes albopictus mosquito larvae were more frequently found in containers outside the house.

Abstract

Recurrent urethral obstruction (rUO) is a critical condition predominantly affecting male Persian cats, necessitating urgent veterinary care due to its high morbidity and potential mortality. This case report details a five-year-old male Persian cat with a history of five episodes of urethral obstruction, despite neutering after the second incident. The cat presented with symptoms including excessive straining and inappropriate urination. Diagnostic evaluations involved physical examination, urinalysis, urine sedimentation, radiography, and ultrasonography. Laboratory results revealed abnormalities such as elevated leukocyte count, blood, protein, nitrites, and struvite crystals in the urine. Radiographic and ultrasonographic imaging indicated an enlarged and firm urinary bladder with no visible stones, but a thickening of the bladder wall and crystal accumulation were noted. The management strategy included immediate relief of obstruction via catheterization and long-term dietary adjustments, though the cat's habit of consuming non-prescribed food contributed to recurrent episodes. This report highlights the challenges in managing rUO in Persian cats and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive diagnostic procedures, strict dietary management, and ongoing monitoring to prevent recurrence. The findings contribute to the existing literature on feline lower urinary tract diseases (FLUTD) and offer insights for veterinarians in clinical practice, suggesting that prolonged catheterization and strict adherence to a specialized urinary diet may reduce recurrence rates and improve outcomes for affected cats.

Abstract

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is an acute and highly contagious viral infectious disease in even/split-hoofed animals and some wild animals. Diseases of the mouth and hoof can cause significant economic losses due to declining production and become an obstacle to the trade in animals and their products. FMD causes much harm to infected animals, one of which is weight loss. Vaccination is the most critical factor in the control of FMD, and the type and quality of vaccines available play an essential role. However, immunomodulators are also needed to increase the immune response to the current FMD vaccine. It is reported that administering Curcuma longa to experimental animals could increase body weight gain and immunity by increasing antibody titers. Therefore, this article will review the immunomodulatory properties of Curcuma longa about FMD infection.

Abstract

Parkinson's is a neurological disease that is rapidly increasing to surpass Alzheimer's disease. Parkinson's disease causes a decrease in the number of dopaminergic neurons, which can lead to disturbances in attention, memory, and motivation. Damage to dopaminergic nerve cells is caused by increased free radicals (ROS) levels in tissues and cells, thus inducing cell death signals. This study aims to determine whether red palm oil affects the acute level of Parkinson's syndrome in rats induced with paraquat. This study uses the BEAM and Cylinder tests to measure the effect of red palm oil because one of the alternative therapies for neurodegenerative illnesses like Parkinson's is red palm oil. The treatment was administered to paraquat-induced rats with injections given weekly for four weeks. Carotenoids are present in red palm oil at concentrations of 600 to 1000 ppm and are thought to have neuroprotective properties. As many as 30 rats were divided into three groups: K (control), PQT (paraquat 7 mg/kg body weight), and PQT+MSM (paraquat 7 mg/kg body weight + 2 ml of red palm oil). The data were then checked using the normality test Shapiro-Wilk and analyzed statistically using One-way ANOVA. The Cylinder and Beam tests were significant, with a P value of 0.00. Parkinsonian rats receiving red palm oil at a dose of 2 ml/kg body weight per week for four weeks showed improved motor function compared to those receiving only paraquat. The group with red palm oil had a lower beam test value. This indicates motor improvement in Parkinson's model rats. Similarly, the cylinder test showed higher performance in the group treated with red palm oil. Based on this, it can be concluded that red palm oil influences the motor movements of Parkinson's rats. The beam test and cylinder test methods prove this. Red palm oil could decrease the acute level of motor impairments in rats with Parkinson's induced by paraquat.

Abstract

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is the ability of microbes to inhibit treatment effects triggered by overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics in poultry farms. This study aims to get an overview of the risk factors of AMR. A total of 41 E. coli isolated from caecum in poultry slaughterhouses derived from broiler chicken farms in Medan and Deli Serdang. The sample was tested for AMR using the Microbroth Dilution technique (Sensititre Microplate) with standards CLSI VET01S (2015) and CLSI M100. Information on risk factors was taken from farms using a questionnaire and analyzed with a logistic regression model (EPI Info 7 CDC). The result for sensitivity to 13 types of antibiotics showed that Trimethoprim had the highest resistance (95.1%), followed by ampicillin (90.2%), gentamicin (87.8%), nalidixide acid (85.4%), cefotaxime (82.9%), and sulfamethoxazole (82.9%). In contrast, colistin and meropenem have not shown resistance. As much as 92.7% of E. coli isolates had experienced Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR), which showed AMR to more than two antibiotic groups. The risk factor of farmer knowledge about AMR was associated with the MDR of E. coli. AMR requires the coordination of the stakeholders to carry out socialization and educate farmers in providing appropriate knowledge and using antibiotics wisely.
