Abstract

Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease that significantly impacts economic losses in quail farming. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence and intensity of coccidia infection and its relationship with the developmental stages of quails reared on a commercial farm in the Boyolali region, Central Java, Indonesia. One hundred fecal samples were analyzed from two different age groups: pullets (28 days old) and layers (1.5 years old). Identification of oocysts was performed using the Whitlock technique. Infection intensity was categorized as mild, moderate, or severe. Data were subjected to descriptive analysis and Chi-square calculations. The results showed that infection reached 98%, with a 100% occurrence in the pullet group and 96% in the layer group. There were differences in the infection intensity among the age groups. In the pullet group, light, moderate, and severe infections were 50%, 32%, and 18%, respectively. In contrast, light infection dominated at 94% in the layer group, with moderate and severe infections at only 2% and 4%, respectively. Statistical tests confirmed a significant relationship between quail age and the level of infection intensity (p < 0.05). Overall, these findings indicate that the occurrence and intensity of coccidia infection in young quails (pullets) are higher in comparation to adult ones, making age an important determining factor in the epidemiology and pathogenesis of coccidiosis in quail populations.

Abstract

Escherichia coli is the most common bacterial infection found in broiler chicken farms. Escherichia coli infection in poultry is generally systemic and causes bacteremia, so it is called colispticemia. Case reports were conducted to diagnose animals with protocol number 116/N/25 based on anamnesis data, clinical signs, epidemiology, anatomical pathology changes, and histopathological changes and examination in the bacteriology laboratory. 30-day-old white broiler chickens were taken from a farm owned by Mr. Rudi located in Batungsel Village, Pupuan District, Tabanan Regency. The clinical signs observed were that the chickens showed abdominal distension, were weak and did not want to eat, had slow growth compared to other chickens, diarrhea, dirt around the cloaca, shortness of breath and weight loss. After the case chicken died, a necropsy was performed, then organ samples were taken and fixed with 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin (NBF). Pathological examination of the anatomy found a layer of fibrin in the heart, liver and lungs. Tissue samples taken were brain, trachea, lungs, liver, heart, spleen, kidneys and intestines, then histopathological preparations were made with hematoxylin-eosin staining. The results of histopathological examination found infiltration of heterophilic inflammatory cells in the lungs, liver, kidneys and intestines, indicating that the case animals were infected with bacteria. Examination of samples in the bacteriology and mycology laboratories obtained positive results for Escherichia coli bacteria in heart, lung, liver and intestine specimens. It can be concluded that the case chickens were infected by E. coli bacteria or were attacked by Colisepticemia. There needs to be increased sanitation and strict biosecurity in chicken farms

Abstract

Caulerpa lentillifera, commonly known as sea grapes, is a green alga found in shallow sandy areas and around coral reefs. It contains chlorophyll A and B, polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, and C—all of which possess antioxidant properties. Antioxidants play a critical role in preventing and repairing cellular damage. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of C. lentillifera simplicia on the lung histopathology of white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced with paracetamol. Twenty-five male rats were randomly assigned to five groups and treated over a 14-day period. Lung tissues were collected on day 15 for histopathological analysis, focusing on indicators such as hemorrhage, inflammation, congestion, and necrosis. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests. Paracetamol administration caused significant histopathological damage to lung tissues. However, rats treated with C. lentillifera simplicia exhibited notable improvements, with reduced severity of hemorrhage, inflammation, congestion, and necrosis compared to the paracetamol-only group. These findings indicate that C. lentillifera simplicia has a protective effect against paracetamol-induced lung injury, supporting its potential use as a natural antioxidant for lung tissue protection.

Abstract

Parasite infection has become one of many important pathological conditions contributing to high morbidity and chronic debilitating disease in green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas). Of many identified parasites in green turtles, spirorchiid flukes are one of the most frequent groups identified from stranding cases worldwide with relatively high morbidity ranging from 75%-98%. This study aimed to perform molecular assays on blood samples using filtered blood to concentrate the parasite DNA contained in the circulating ova. A total of nine blood samples were collected during the study; one from a captive green turtle with suspect positive spirorchiidiosis, and eight from wild turtles caught around the Moreton Bay area. The blood filtration resulted in a remarkably low DNA quantity and poor quality which later lead to a lack of positives on PCR assay. The DNA yield from unfiltered blood samples (68.2–374.3 ng/µL; mean = 16.7 ± 110.0 ng/µL) was significantly higher than that from filtered samples (0.95–7.92 ng/µL; mean = 8.02 ± 8.00 ng/µL). Additionally, DNA purity based on the 260/280 ratio was more consistent in unfiltered samples (1.64–2.13; mean = 1.94 ± 0.13), while filtered samples showed highly variable and unreliable purity values (-7.04 to 84.67; mean = 9.19 ± 28.5). The low quality and quantity of DNA may be caused by the parasite’s life stage, which affects the level of infection and parasite load in the host, as well as DNA denaturation during the extraction process using the bead-beating method. Future research should focus on optimizing DNA extraction methods, particularly the duration of bead-beating and the use of effective buffers like sorbitol or SDS. Additionally, regular administration of anthelmintic treatment is recommended in clinical settings to help control Spirorchiid infections in green turtles.

Abstract

Pig farming in Bali plays a strategic role in meeting both animal protein demands and cultural needs, yet remains highly susceptible to viral, bacterial, and parasitic diseases. This case report documents a severe coinfection of Trichuris suis (trichuriasis) and systemic beta-hemolytic Streptococcus sp. (presumably S. suis) in a 3.5-month-old weanling piglet from Gianyar. Diagnostic methods included anamnesis, epidemiological investigation, gross pathology, histopathology, bacterial culture/identification, and parasitic examination. The piglet exhibited stunted growth, cachexia, cough, and chronic brown diarrhea. Gross and histopathological findings revealed meningoencephalitis, necrotic-edematous bronchopneumonia, and edematous-degenerative typhlitis. Bacterial isolation identified beta-hemolytic Streptococcus sp. in the brain and lungs, though neurological signs were absent. Necropsy uncovered ~4,700 T. suis in the cecum and colon, with Entamoeba sp. cysts detected in feces. This case highlights: (1) the clinicopathological manifestations of concurrent T. suis and Streptococcus sp. infections, and (2) the critical need for early detection and comprehensive diagnostics in field cases. To mitigate such coinfections, we recommend enhanced biosecurity, routine antiparasitic treatment, and periodic bacteriological surveillance.

Abstract

Bali duck (Anas sp.) is a native Indonesian duck breed developed in the Bali and Lombok regions. Bali duck have significant potential as producers of eggs and meat, contributing to the fulfilment of animal protein needs of the Indonesian population. This study was conducted to determine the histological structure and histomorphometry of the oesophagus of bali duck during the starter phase. Samples were taken from ducks aged 1 day, 14 days, 28 days, 42 days, and 56 days. Histological sample observations focused on the layers composing the oesophagus. Parameters used for histomorphometry measurements were the thickness of the oesophageal tunica layers and he results of the research on histological structure are presented in a descriptive qualitative form. The results of the research on histomorphometry are presented in a descriptive quantitative form, analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and if the results showed a significant difference, were followed by Duncan’s post-hoc test. The study results indicated that histologically, the bali duck oesophagus consists of the tunica mucosa, tunica submucosa, tunica muscularis, and tunica adventitia. Histomorphometry results showed an increase in the thickness of each layer with increasing age, from 1 day, 14 days, 28 days, 42 days, to 56 days. Further studies in different phase employing special staining techniques are required to allow for more detailed identification.

Abstract

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly infectious viral disease that poses a significant threat to puppies, often resulting in fatality if not diagnosed and treated promptly. This report investigates the cause of death of a nearly two-month-old puppy in Denpasar City. Diagnosis was confirmed through a comprehensive approach, including a thorough history, clinical examination, hematology, anatomical pathology, histopathology with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for CPV, bacteriology, and parasitology examinations. Anamnesis revealed that the two puppies succumbed after exhibiting symptoms such as anorexia, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and cachexia, which were also observed in this puppy. Necropsy findings indicated multiorgan lesions, including hemorrhage, congestion, hyperemia, uneven organ discoloration, swelling of the heart and spleen, and worm infestation in the stomach. Histopathological analysis revealed multi-organ inflammation characterized by hemorrhage, necrosis, edema, and inflammatory cell infiltration in all organs, with lesions typical of CPV, including lymphoid follicular necrosis and intestinal Lieberkühn crypts in the intestine. PCR confirmed CPV infection, as evidenced by a 900 bp DNA band. Bacteriological examination revealed the presence of Escherichia coli and Streptococcus spp. in the intestine and Staphylococcus spp. in the spleen. Parasitological examination revealed the presence of adult worms, larvae, and eggs of Toxocara canis in the fecal sample. Based on these findings, the death of the puppy was attributed to CPV infection compounded by secondary bacterial and parasitic infections. Further testing is recommended to ascertain potential co-infection with Canine Distemper Virus.

Abstract

Gastrotomy is a surgical procedure involving temporary opening of the stomach to remove foreign bodies, typically performed via exploratory laparotomy. An 8-month-old, 5.5 kg female mixed-breed dog was presented after ingesting a foreign object during play. The owner observed the dog for three days with no spontaneous elimination through feces or vomiting. Clinical examination revealed normal vital parameters and no signs of gastrointestinal distress. Abdominal radiography identified a round, radiopaque foreign body retained in the gastric lumen. The case was diagnosed as gastric foreign body (corpus alienum) ingestion. Surgical intervention via laparotomy-assisted gastrotomy successfully removed the marble-like object. Postoperative management included intravenous cefotaxime (20 mg/kg BID for 3 days), transitioned to oral cefixime (10 mg/kg BID for 5 days), and meloxicam analgesia (0.5 mg/kg SID for 5 days). By postoperative day 7, the dog demonstrated normal appetite, elimination patterns, and complete wound healing. This case highlights the importance of prompt veterinary intervention for young dogs exhibiting pica behavior, particularly when gastrointestinal signs (vomiting, diarrhea, or anorexia) are observed, to prevent complications from foreign body ingestion.

Abstract

Cherry eye is a condition characterized by the prolapse of the nictitating gland due to weak connective tissue attachment, resulting in a visible red mass resembling a cherry. A 5-month-old female American Bully Ecotis dog, weighing 8.7 kg, presented with a protruding mass in the left eye, which had been observed for one month prior to surgery. Hematological examination revealed lymphocytosis, thrombocytosis, and low Platelet Distribution Width (PDW), suggesting mild inflammation. The diagnosis of cherry eye was confirmed through physical and clinical examinations, with a fausta (favorable) prognosis. Surgical correction was performed using the Morgan Pocket Technique to reposition the gland. Postoperative care included intramuscular cefotaxime (1.74 mL) and meloxicam (0.3 mL), followed by oral meloxicam (0.116 mg/day for 3 days) and topical gentamicin sulfate ointment (0.3%, applied TID for 7 days) to prevent infection. The surgical site showed complete healing by day 14, with no recurrence observed. This case highlights the effectiveness of the Morgan Pocket Technique combined with adjunctive medical therapy in managing cherry eye in dogs.

Abstract

Bali ducks are a source of wealth and genetic resources originating from Bali. This study aims to determine the histological and histomorphometric structure of the ventriculus of bali ducks in the starter phase. The samples used consisted of 15 male Bali ducks and 15 female bali ducks aged 1 day, 14 days, 28 days, 42 days, and 56 days. The histological structure was examined using a binocular light microscope, and histomorphometry was measured using the ImageJ application and analyzed with the assistance of SPSS software. The results of this study showed that the histological structure of the bali duck ventriculus consists of the cuticle, mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis. The histomorphometric results indicated that the thickness of the cuticle increased from 153.884 μm to 387.559 μm, the mucosa increased from 420.448 μm to 779.638 μm, the submucosa increased from 56.634 μm to 260.631 μm, and the muscularis increased from 1010.344 μm to 2420.951 μm. The results of the study indicate that there are no differences in anatomical and histological structure in the bali duck ventricle. However, there are histomorphometric differences in the bali duck ventricle at 1 day, 14 days, 28 days, 42 days, and 56 days of age.
