Background: Influenza is a viral infection that attacks the respiratory system (nose, throat, and lungs) that commonly known as “flu”. There are 3 types of influenza viruses, such as type A, type B, and type C. Influenza virus type A is the type of virus that can infect both human and animals, virus type B are normally found only in human, and Influenza virus type C can cause mild illness in human and not causing any epidemics or pandemics. Among these 3 types of influenza viruses, only influenza A viruses infect birds, particularly wild bird that are the natural host for all subtypes of influenza A virus. Generally, those wild birds do not get sick when they are infected with influenza virus, unlike chickens or ducks which may die from avian influenza. Aim: In this study, we are identifying the influenza viruses among poultry in Larangan wet market. Method: Around 500 kinds of poultry were examined from cloacal swab. Result: Those samples were restrained with symptoms of suspected H5. The people who worked as the poultry-traders intact with the animal everyday were also examined, by taking nasopharyngeal swab and blood serum. Conclusion: Identification of influenza viruses was obtained to define the type and subtype of influenza virus by PCR.

The aim of this research was to explore the hematological value of Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius). Total of 20 samples were examined, it consists of 10 males and 10 females, blood samples were taken from vena ventral abdominal and deposited into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes, fresh blood leaves little to make blood smear, total blood examination and total leukocyte and differential leukocyte count used standard manual method. The mean result of hematological value of leopard gecko in this research were white blood cell (WBC) (x103/mm3) 7.12 male, 8.09 female, Lymphocyte (%) 46.2 male, 38.4 female, Monocyte (%) 17 male, 17.3 female, Heterophil (%) 18.3 male, 21.8 female, Eosinophil (%) 10.8 male, 13.9 female, Basofil (%) 7.7 male, 8.6 female, red blood cell (RBC) (106/ mm3) 0.64 male, 0.65 female, Hemoglobin (Hgb) (g/dl) 8.95 male, 9.46 female, Hematocrit (%) 10.55 male and 9.26 female. In all parameters showed that hematology value of male gecko leopard was lower than female gecko except on two parameters which are hematocrit and lymphocyte which showed male gecko has the higher than females.

The aim of this research was to identify worm eggs species that infected Egrets in Surabaya. A total of 40 samples were taken and faecal examination was conducted in the Laboratory by means of native, sedimentation, and floating methods, In floating method saturated brown sugar solution was used as floating media because brown sugar solution was faster in floating worm eggs. Then further examination of the worm eggs species were matched by microscopic taxonomy and textbook comparison observation. Eggs of three classes of helmints, Trematode, Cestode, and Nematode were found in faeces of Egrets in Surabaya. Species of the Nematode eggs found were Ascaris sp., Ascaridia galli, , Capillaria sp., Toxocara cati. Species of Cestode class egg found were Raillietina sp, from Trematode class were Echinostoma revolutum.
