Abstract

Rabies is one of the world's most fatal zoonotic diseases, with a case fatality rate of nearly 100% if post-exposure prophylaxis is not administered promptly. In Indonesia, rabies remains endemic in several regions, primarily transmitted through dog bites. The main challenges in its control include low animal vaccination coverage, limited public awareness, and suboptimal intersectoral coordination. This systematic review aims to analyze the effectiveness of the One Health approach in rabies control, specifically through vaccination and community education strategies. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method was employed by collecting and analyzing articles from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect published within the last 10 years. The One Health concept emphasizes integrated collaboration between the human health, animal health, and environmental sectors. The findings indicate that mass vaccination of rabies reservoir animals with a minimum of 70% annual coverage, combined with participatory, community-based education programs, significantly increases public knowledge and reduces transmission rates. Furthermore, the establishment of cross-sectoral coordination teams and community empowerment in health promotion efforts have proven effective in supporting sustainable rabies control. In conclusion, the One Health approach is a key strategy for achieving the global goal of eliminating dog-mediated human rabies by 2030, as outlined in the “Zero by 30” initiative.

Abstract

Dolphin-based animal shows are still frequently found in Indonesia and remain a tourist attraction despite posing public health risks. Direct interaction between humans and dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in entertainment facilities such as dolphinariums increases the potential for zoonotic disease transmission. This review aims to examine various zoonotic diseases transmissible from dolphins to humans and provide mitigation strategies based on the One Health approach. The study employed a literature review method guided by the PRISMA framework, analyzing 21 scientific articles obtained from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ResearchGate between May and July 2025. Selected articles discussed zoonotic risks, marine mammal welfare, and public health implications. The findings show that dolphins can act as vectors for diseases such as lobomycosis, bacterial infections, and marine parasites. Poor welfare practices and lack of sanitary regulation in dolphinariums were identified as major contributing factors to increased risk. Moreover, chronic stress in dolphins elevates their susceptibility to disease, thereby enhancing the possibility of transmission to humans. This study concludes that dolphin performances may pose a public health threat if not accompanied by proper regulations and risk management. Therefore, a multisectoral collaboration through the One Health approach is urgently needed to minimize the future risk of zoonosis associated with dolphin exhibitions.

Abstract

The cattle slaughtering process at the Slaughterhouse (RPH) involves various occupational health and safety (OHS) hazards that require effective management. This study aims to identify potential OHS hazards and assess their risk levels at each stage of the cattle slaughtering process at the Denpasar City RPH. The research method used an observational approach with the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) technique to analyze physical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial hazards. The results show that several work stages have a high-risk level (score ≥10), particularly during the slaughtering stage (physical risk score 10, biological score 12, ergonomic score 12) and the use of the restraining pen (physical risk score 16). Dominant hazards include exposure to zoonotic bacteria, injuries from sharp tools and animals, and musculoskeletal disorders due to non-ergonomic working postures. Psychosocial factors such as work stress also contributed significantly, with risk scores reaching 12 in several stages. Based on these findings, this study recommends implementing comprehensive mitigation measures, including: (1) improved use of standardized personal protective equipment (PPE), (2) regular OHS training on animal handling and tool use, (3) redesign of work facilities to be more ergonomic, (4) implementation of an ISO 45001-based OHS management system, and (5) a mental health program for workers. These recommendations are expected to reduce work accident rates and increase productivity at the Denpasar City RPH, while also serving as a reference for developing OHS policies in the livestock sector.

Abstract

Continuous exposure to pesticide mixtures has a synergistic effect on inducing oxidative stress and DNA damage. One sensitive biomarker of oxidative DNA damage is 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). This study aimed to analyze the correlation between stratified risk levels of combined pesticide exposure and urinary 8-OHdG concentrations. A cross-sectional design was employed, with pesticide exposure risk assessed through structured interviews and a semi-quantitative scoring method based on usage patterns. Urinary 8-OHdG levels were measured using ELISA. Results demonstrated a moderate positive correlation between combined pesticide exposure risk stratification and 8-OHdG levels (p<0.05), indicating that higher exposure risk corresponds to increased DNA damage. These findings highlight the need for systematic pesticide exposure evaluation and preventive interventions to safeguard farmers' health. Further longitudinal studies are recommended to establish causal relationships between combined pesticide exposure and DNA damage biomarkers, while accounting for potential confounders such as individual metabolic differences and protective measures.

Abstract

Alveolar rhabdomysarcoma is a musculoskeletal malignant tumor of striated muscle origin rarely found in cats with bone invasion. Rhabdomysarcoma is classified based on pathological clinical features and genetic abnormalities identified into 4 subtypes namely embryonic, alveolar, spindle cell/sclerosis, and pleomorphic. This paper aims to diagnose and discuss the surgery to remove a tumor mass in a case of RMS in a cat on the caudal sinister limb. A mixed-breed cat named Moy, a non-sterilized, non-vaccinated female, 2 years old and weighing 2 kg, presented with complaints of a hard lump on the caudal sinister limb, difficulty defecating and urinating, and decreased appetite and drinking. The cat was kept free-ranging and fed ad libitum with boiled rice and fish. Histopathology showed the cat was diagnosed with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The cat underwent surgical removal of the tumor mass. Postoperatively the cat was given cefotaxime antibiotic (PT. Dankos Farma Tbk., Jakarta, Indonesia) at a dose of 25 mg/kg BW intravenously. The cat did not progress well and died 7 hours postoperatively. The diagnosis must be promptly out to prevent the tumor mass enlarging and invading surrounding tissues. General anesthesia is required to avoid cumulative effects, which can be administered through inhalation or using propofol.

Abstract

This report describes the diagnosis and management of cystolithiasis in an 8-year-old, spayed female Persian cat weighing 2.85 kg. The patient presented with a history of dysuria and hematuria that began nine months post-ovariohysterectomy. The symptoms initially resolved but recurred with greater severity a few days prior to presentation. Diagnostic tests, including urinalysis and ultrasonography, revealed hyperechoic particles within the urinary bladder and calcium oxalate crystalluria. A diagnosis of calcium oxalate cystolithiasis was made. The owner opted for conservative management, which included a prescription urinary diet and a daily herbal supplement (Keji Beling®). Clinical signs, including dysuria, resolved within seven days of treatment. However, calcium oxalate crystalluria persisted on follow-up urinalysis. This case suggests that conservative management can resolve the clinical signs of cystolithiasis, but long-term dietary control remains essential to manage the underlying risk of crystal formation. The role of herbal therapy in managing this condition requires further investigation.

Abstract

Pigs are among the most commonly raised livestock animals for human consumption. However, pig farming often faces significant challenges, particularly related to animal health. This case study aims to describe the anatomical pathology, histopathology, and laboratory findings to establish a definitive diagnosis of the disease that led to the death of a three-week-old piglet from Marga Village, Marga District, Tabanan Regency. Data collection included clinical observations, anamnesis, epidemiological data, and laboratory analyses, which were examined descriptively and qualitatively. The clinical signs observed in the piglet included anorexia, diarrhea, inability to stand, paddling, swelling of the limb joints, body tremors, and reddish skin lesions. Epidemiological data indicated a morbidity rate of 0.9%, a mortality rate of 0.9%, and a case fatality rate of 100%. Gross pathological findings revealed congestion and hemorrhages in the brain, lungs, heart, intestines, and kidneys. The liver and spleen appeared swollen and discolored, as did the stomach. Histopathological examination showed meningoencephalitis; hemorrhagic and edematous bronchopneumonia; intermyocardial edema; splenitis; hepatitis; hemorrhagic glomerulonephritis; gastritis; enteritis; and colitis. The dominant inflammatory cells were lymphocytes and macrophages, indicating a chronic infection. Bacteriological analysis revealed the presence of Streptococcus spp. in the brain, lungs, and liver, while parasitological examination identified Ascaris suum eggs. Based on the findings, the piglet was diagnosed with streptococcosis and ascariasis. Implementing strict biosecurity and sanitation measures is crucial in pig farming to prevent infectious diseases.

Abstract

The African pygmy hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris) is an exotic animal that has become increasingly popular as a pet in Indonesia. Despite its unusual appearance and being rarely handled directly, this animal poses a risk of transmitting zoonotic dermal diseases to humans. Transmission often occurs unnoticed and is frequently overlooked by both pet owners and the general public. This study aims to examine the risk of zoonotic skin diseases transmitted by mini hedgehogs and emphasize the importance of a One Health approach in their control. This review was conducted using a systematic literature review method on scientific articles obtained through Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ResearchGate. A total of 25 relevant literatures were selected based on topic relevance, scientific quality, and accessibility. The review findings indicate that several pathogens such as Trichophyton erinacei, Sarcoptes scabiei, Cryptosporidium spp., and Enterocytozoon bieneusi have been found in mini hedgehogs and can potentially cause diseases in humans. Transmission may occur through direct contact, contaminated cage equipment, or the environment. The public’s limited understanding of exotic animals increases the risk of zoonotic transmission. In conclusion, mini hedgehogs are a potential source of zoonotic diseases that is often underestimated. A One Health approach is crucial to prevent and control the spread. Continuous public education and active involvement of veterinarians are necessary to detect and prevent zoonotic diseases originating from exotic pets.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the leukocyte profile and neutrophil-ymphocyte ratio in goats that were temporarily kept before slaughter in Kampung Jawa, North Denpasar, Bali. A total of eight female goats were used as samples, with blood collected during the slaughter process and analyzed using conventional hematological methods. The results showed that the average total leukocyte count was 8.04×10³/µL, which was still within the normal range. The average leukocyte differential consisted of 45.75% neutrophils, 46.63% lymphocytes, 8.75% monocytes, 1.5% eosinophils, and 0% basophils. Based on these findings, neutrophils were within the normal range, lymphocytes showed a decrease, monocytes showed an increase, while eosinophils and basophils were within the normal values. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was 2.79, which was higher than the reference value. Farmers are advised to improve management and environmental conditions, while future research should involve larger samples and cortisol analysis as a stress marker.
