Abstract

A study was conducted to analyse the histological structure of lymphocytes and monocytes in dogs with dermatitis before and after therapy. Dermatitis is skin inflammation that can be caused by bacterial infections, allergies, or environmental factors. This study used 20 dogs with dermatitis that were given a combination of antiparasitic, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and antihistamine therapy. Blood samples were taken before and after therapy to be analysed using Morphology of Edge Blood (MDT) staining to observe changes in the histological structure of lymphocyte and monocyte cells. The results showed: before therapy, lymphocytes and monocytes experienced more necrosis (P<0.05) histological structure changes such as pycnosis, karyorexis, and karyolysis. After therapy, there was a decrease in the number of cells that experienced necrosis in lymphocytes, from 8.45 ± 2.08% to 6.85 ± 1.75%. Whereas in monocytes, there was a decrease in the number (P<0.05) of necrotised cells at post- therapy, from 27.5±19.4% to 13.5±10.3%. The conclusion of this study is that the histological structure of lymphocytes and monocytes that experience necrosis is less than cells that do not necrose. The histological structure of the cells showed a lot more normal. The combination therapy used proved effective in improving the structure of lymphocytes and monocytes.

Abstract

Newcastle Disease (ND) is a viral disease that affects poultry, including broilers. One of the preventive measures is vaccination; however, its effectiveness remains suboptimal, necessitating an alternative approach such as green meniran (Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) extract to enhance antibody titers. This study aims to determine the differences in antibody titers in broilers administered green meniran extract at different doses for two weeks before the ND booster vaccination. The study involved 30 broilers aged 1 to 32 days. The experimental design followed a Completely Randomized Design with a hierarchical pattern consisting of three treatment groups. Serum samples were collected one day before the ND booster vaccination (17 days old), oneweek post-booster vaccination (25 days old), and two weeks post-booster vaccination (32 days old). The serum samples were tested using the Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) assay. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis. ANOVA results showed that the treatment group (P2) receiving green meniran extract at a dose of 6 mg/kg BW/day exhibited a significant increase (P<0.05) compared to the treatment group (P1) receiving 4 mg/kg BW/day. Regression analysis indicated that each group experienced an increase in antibody titers up to the fourth week post-booster vaccination. The findings suggest that different sampling times significantly (P<0.05) influenced the antibody titers formed. In conclusion, green meniran extract as a natural immunostimulator can enhance the immune response in broiler chickens. The combination of green meniran extract at doses of 4 mg/kg BW/day and 6 mg/kg BW/day for two weeks with ND booster vaccination proved to be more effective in increasing ND antibody titers in broilers than vaccination alone.

Abstract

Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) on Lombok Island, living in groups on Mount Pengsong and Mount Pusuk, are separated by the densely populated city of Mataram. This geographical isolation may potentially affect the genetic diversity of the population, which can be known through dermatoglyphic studies. This research aims to identify and compare the dermatoglyphic patterns of the long-tailed macaque populations in both locations. The study used 34 samples of dermatoglyphics from the hands and feet of long-tailed macaques, consisting of 17 samples from Mount Pengsong and 17 samples from Mount Pusuk. Samples were collected using the transparent adhesive tape method, allowing for the identification of patterns and their frequencies, which were analyzed using chi-square tests. The results showed that four basic dermatoglyphic patterns were found: whorl, loop, open field, and arch. The dermatoglyphic pattern with the highest frequency in both Mount Pengsong and Mount Pusuk was the whorl pattern (35.5% and 36.2%, respectively). Meanwhile, the arch pattern was only found at Mount Pengsong. The chi-square analysis indicated no significant differences (p>0.05) in the frequencies of dermatoglyphic patterns between the two groups, suggesting that the city of Mataram does not cause significant genetic variation differences. It can be concluded that there are no significant differences in the patterns and frequencies of dermatoglyphics of long-tailed macaques between Mount Pengsong and Mount Pusuk, Lombok. Further research needs to be conducted using cluster analysis and with a larger sample.

Abstract

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms develop resistance to antimicrobial agents, partly due to the misuse or overuse of antibiotics for treatment and disease prevention. The easy accessibility of antibiotic distribution has led livestock feed traders to sell antibiotics without veterinary prescriptions. This study aimed to identify the percentage of feed traders selling antibiotics, the types available, and the proportion of licensed traders in Bangli and Tembuku Districts, Bali. Using a questionnaire-based interview method with descriptive analysis and Chi-Square testing, the findings revealed that 9.5% (10/106) of traders sold antibiotics, while only 0.94% (1/106) possessed a valid veterinary drug license and required prescriptions. The antibiotics sold included Amoxicillin, Enrofloxacin, Lincomycin HCl, Oxytetracycline HCl, Spectinomycin HCl, Ciprofloxacin, Doxycycline Calcium, Erythromycin, Tetracycline HCl, and Tylosin Tartrate.  The results indicate uncontrolled antibiotic circulation in both locations, underscoring the need for stricter regulatory oversight and trader education on licensing requirements and the risks of antibiotic misuse.

Abstract

Dermatitis in dogs is an inflammation of the skin caused by parasites, bacteria, fungi and metabolic disorders, with severity varying from mild to severe. This condition triggers inflammation that affects granulocyte leukocytes, namely neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils, which can undergo necrosis. Necrosis is characterized by changes in nuclear morphology, such as pycnosis, karyorexis, and karyolysis due to irreversible cell injury. In addition, Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) values reflect variations in platelet size and are often associated with inflammatory activity. This study analyzed the histological features and differences in necrotizing leukocyte counts and PDW values in dogs with mild and severe dermatitis. The results showed that necrotizing neutrophils in mild dermatitis (4.9 ± 5.2) were lower than those in severe dermatitis (5.4 ± 3.3), but the results of the independent t-test showed that the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). The opposite situation in eosinophils and basophils, where eosinophils that experienced necrosis in mild dermatitis (2.5 ± 11) were higher than those in severe dermatitis (0 ± 0), while basophils that experienced necrosis were higher in mild dermatitis (9.6 ± 17) than in severe dermatitis (0 ± 0), but the results of the independent t-test showed that the difference was significant (P < 0.05). The PDW value in mild dermatitis (15 ± 2.4) was greater than that in severe dermatitis (14.5 ± 2), but not significantly different (P > 0.05), it can be concluded that the severity of dermatitis does not affect platelet size. Further research needs to be done on health status by looking at other indicators such as the presence of lymphocytes and monocytes in dogs with mild derrmatitis and severe dermatitis.

Abstract

Dogs are susceptible to various dermatological disorders, among which dermatitis is commonly observed. This condition may be caused by fungal infections, ectoparasites, bacterial agents, or metabolic disorders. Dermatitis presents with clinical manifestations ranging from mild to severe, often characterized by widespread skin lesions. The associated inflammatory response may induce alterations in the immune system, particularly affecting agranulocytic leukocytes namely lymphocytes and monocytes or leading to cellular necrosis. Severe dermatitis is frequently accompanied by secondary infections, which may elevate the risk of inflammation-induced anemia and result in changes to hemoglobin (HGB) levels. This study aims to investigate the histological features of necrotic lymphocytes and monocytes, as well as hemoglobin (HGB) levels, in dogs affected by mild and severe dermatitis. Histological examination revealed that necrotic lymphocytes and monocytes exhibited signs of pyknosis, karyorrhexis, and karyolysis. The number of necrotic lymphocytes in dogs with mild dermatitis (10±4.64) was slightly higher than in those with severe dermatitis (8.65±3.38), although the difference was not statistically significant (P˃0.05). In contrast, the number of necrotic monocytes in mild dermatitis cases (19.3±20.8) was significantly greater than in severe cases (3.35±11.62) (P˂0.05). Hemoglobin levels in dogs with mild dermatitis (10.75±4.23) were marginally lower than those in severe cases (11.23±2.9), with no statistically significant difference (P˃0.05).

Abstract

A common conjunctival disease in kittens is Chlamydiosis. Chlamydia bacteria invade and infect the cells of the conjunctiva causing inflammation and eye discharge. Clinical signs develop within a few days of infection and begin with eye discharge. The aim of this article is to improve the knowledge of veterinary colleagues in managing cases of conjunctivitis in kittens caused by chlamydial bacterial infection. A 5-month-old female local cat weighing 1.6 kg named Chips had complaints of eye swelling, eye redness and continuous tear and eye discharge since it was adopted. The cat showed signs of difficulty opening the eyes. The diagnosis was confirmed by haematology and cytology examination. Cytological examination of the eye discharge swab was positive for Chlamydophila felis. Haematological examination showed leukocytosis, lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia. The cat was diagnosed with Feline Chlamydiosis. The cat was treated with Erlamycetin Plus Eye Drop (Chloramphenicol and Dexamethasone) one drop twice daily for 14 days. Supportive therapy with immunomodulator Echinacea purpurea (Imboost Kids Syrup 60 ml) was given twice daily for 2.5 ml for 14 days. The therapy showed satisfactory results. On day 14 the cat was declared cured after therapy and routine eye cleaning. It can be concluded that cats with Chlamydiosis can be treated until cured using topical antibiotics and immunomodulators. The importance of early detection and owner understanding of good and healthy environmental conditions to prevent recurrent infections.

Abstract

Demodicosis is a skin disease caused by Demodex mites and is commonly found in dogs. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination of ivermectin and amitraz for the treatment of demodicosis in dogs. A three-year-old male Pekingese dog weighing 5.5 kg was presented to the Internal Medicine Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University, exhibiting lethargy and hair loss in the back, neck, legs, and extremities. Physical examination revealed alopecia, erythema, skin thickening, oily and scaly skin, a rancid odor, and hyperpigmentation. The dog exhibited a high level of pruritus. Routine hematological examination showed the dog was experiencing anemia and leukocytopenia. The diagnosis was confirmed as demodicosis based on microscopic examination of deep skin scrapings. The prognosis for this case was considered favorable. The dog was treated with subcutaneous ivermectin (Wormectin 0.5 mg/kg BW, PT. Medion Farma Jaya, Bandung, Indonesia) and antihistamine diphenhydramine HCL (Recodryl® 4 mg/kg BW, PT. Global Multi Pharmalab, Semarang, Indonesia). Weekly baths with amitraz (V-Traz Amitraz 12.5%, PT. Olego Mandiri Indonesia, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia) at a concentration of 500 ppm were administered, along with daily oral administration of a skin and coat supplement (Coatex® vetplus, Mega Utama Medica, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia) at a dose of one capsule. After 14 days, the dog’s condition showed improvement, with reduced scratching intensity, decreased erythema, and resolution of the previously oily skin. Supportive therapy was continued for one month, with further evaluation planned. The dog demonstrated significant recovery following the treatment, and intensive care is recommended to prevent reinfection.

Abstract

Cats are not immune to various types of diseases that can cause lesions, including oral lesions. Oral lesions are common in cats. This report aims to discuss the results of anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting examination in a six-year-old case cat with nasal discharge and watery eyes that had lasted for seven months. The cat's pre-existing status showed normal physiologic data. Physical examination found swelling on the left side of the cat's face, yellowish discharge from the eye and nose from the left side and swollen left mandibular lymphonodus. Localized redness was found on the maxilla, namely the gingiva. Haematological examination revealed anaemia. Radiographic examination showed a mass on the left side of the face which made the boundaries unclear. Histopathologic examination showed hyperplasia. Based on anamnesis, clinical examination, and supporting examination, the case cat was suspected to have a tumor. The therapy given was anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam. Supportive therapy was given in the form of blood enhancement supplements in the form of Fufang E'jiao Jiang. However, chemotherapy to cure the tumor could not be given because the cat died. Samples of the cat's swollen face were taken and found to be peripheral ossifying fibroma. In addition, before death the cat had diarrhoea and vomited worms. Therefore, it is important to check the cat's health condition regularly, especially the mouth to ensure that the cat is healthy.
