Kucing Domestik (Felis domesticus) merupakan mamalia favorit yang banyak dipelihara oleh manusia. Salah satu kendala dalam memelihara kucing adalah dapat tertular ektoparasit dan endoparasit. Banyak infeksi ektoparasit dan endoparasit bersifat zoonosis, sehingga kebersihan dan kesehatan kucing harus dijaga oleh pemiliknya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui adanya infeksi ektoparasit dan endoparasit pada kucing domestik di kawasan Tambaksari Surabaya. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 32 ekor kucing yang dipelihara di kawasan Tambaksari, Surabaya. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 32 ekor kucing domestik di kawasan Tambaksari Surabaya. Pemeriksaan dibagi menjadi 2 yaitu pemeriksaan ektoparsit dengan cara dilakukan pada permukaan tubuh, mulai dari kepala, badan, kaki, dan ekor. Sedangkan pemeriksaan endoparasit dengan cara pemeriksaan feses dengan metode flotasi menggunakan NaCl jenuh. Hasil pemeriksaan 21,87% positif terinfeksi ektoparasit, 78,12% tidak terinfeksi ektoparasit. Jenis ektoparasit yang menginfeksi adalah Felicola subrostarus dan Ctenocephalides felis. Sedangkan hasil pemeriksaan endoparasit, sebanyak 9,37% positif terinfeksi endoparasit, 90,63% tidak terinfeksi endoparasit. Jenis endoparasit yang ditemukan telur Toxocara spp. dan Ancylostoma spp. Jadi infeksi ektoparasit dan endoparasit pada kucing domestik di wilayah Tambaksari Surabaya cukup rendah. Pemilik kucing harus lebih memperhatikan kebersihan dan kesehatan kucing peliharaannya Kata Kunci: Ektoparasit, Endoparasit, Kucing, Felicola subrostarus, Ctenocephalides felis, Toxocara spp., Ancylostoma spp.
Culex quenquefasciatus is a mosquito that acts as a vector of filariasis disease. In Indonesia filariasis is still one of the endemic diseases. This proves that the handling of vector Culex quenquefasciatus is still not done optimally. One way that can be done to control mosquito vectors one of them is to use larvacide. Larvacide which is widely used today is still synthetic. Although very efficient in causing mosquito mortality, larvacide synthesis harms the environment and can cause vectors resistance. Then another larvacide alternative is needed that is effective and does not cause negative effects. Plants can be a choice of larvacide from nature. The study aims to find out the potential of the water extract of bay leaves and papaya leaves in killing the larvae of the Cx. quenquefasciatus mosquito as well as the value of LC50 after 24-hour observation. The type of research used is experimental research. The concentration of the water extract of bay leaves and papaya leaves used is 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% with trhee times replication. LC50 is calculated using the Finney formula (1971), the calculation is carried out using application SPSS statistical version 26. Based on the research conducted, the value of bay leaf water extract LC50 = 62.89 g/ml and papaya leaf water extract LC50 = 45.10 g/ml. So based on the LC50 value, ita can be concluded that papaya leaf water extract is more effective in causing mortality Cx. quenquefasciatus compared with bay leaf water extract.
Cats are one of the most popular animals because of their cute and tame appearance. Just like other organism, cats can become infected worms if they are not kept clean. Cats infected with worms will initially lose their appetite, over time they will lose weight. Cats infected with worms, if kept and not treated continuously, can transmit to cat owners (humans). This study aims to determine the prevalence of parasitic worm infection in cat feces in the city of Surabaya, and to compare the prevalence of parasitic worm infection in domesticated cats with cats living wild in the city of Surabaya. The samples used in this study were 100 faecal samples, which were taken from 50 cats that live in the wild and from 50 live cats that are kept. Examination of faecal samples was carried out directly and indirectly using the saturated NaCl debris method, the data obtained will be presented descriptively and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Based on the results of the research conducted, the prevalence of worm infection in feral cat feces was 60%, while in domestic cats the prevalence was 10%. The types of worms that were found were Toxocara spp., Ancylostoma spp., Diphyllobothrium spp., and Trichuris spp. Based on the Chi-square test, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship (P<0.05) between the prevalence of parasitic worm infection in domesticated cats and cats that live in the wild.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
