Prevalensi dan Identifikasi Ektoparasit pada Anjing Kintamani Bali di Bali

Abstract

Ektoparasit merupakan parasit yang hidup secara parasitik di bagian luar tubuh hospesnya atau terowongan didalam kulit yang masih berhubungan dengan lingkungan luar. Dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh infestasi ektoparasit pada anjing antara lain penurunan bobot badan, penurunan produksi, kerontokan rambut, iritasi, anemia sampai dengan kematian. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui prevalensi infestasi dan identifikasi ektoparasit yang menginfestasi Anjing Kintamani Bali (AKB). Sampel AKB yang digunakan berjumlah 100 ekor. Anjing Kintamani Bali yang dipilih menjadi sampel dinyatakan positif jika ditemukannya ektoparasit pada anjing tersebut. Identifikasi jenis ektoparasit berdasarkan morfologi. Data yang didapatkan dianalisis dengan Uji Chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan prevalensi ektoparasit pada AKB di Bali didapatkan sebesar 56%. Jenis-jenis ektoparasit yang menginfestasi antara lain: Riphicephalus sanguinus, Ctenocephalides felis, Heterodoxus spiniger dan Trichodectes canis. Uji Chi-square mendapatkan bahwa cara pemeliharaan berhubungan dengan prevalensi infestasi ektoparasit pada AKB di Bali., sedangkan umur dan jenis kelamin tidak berbuhungan. Pemeliharaan Anjing Kintamani Bali di Bali, sebaiknya lebih memperhatikan kesehatan hewan. Memandikan hewan secara rutin sangat disarankan untuk pengendalian infestasi ektoparasit, selain itu pemilik dapat menyisir hewan secara rutin. Sanitasi kandang bagi hewan yang dikandangkan sangat perlu untuk diperhatikan selain itu sebaiknya bagi hewan yang sudah terinfestasi parah dapat dibawa ke dokter hewan terdekat.

Identification Of Gastrointestinal Protozoa Of Swine (Sus sp.) In Surabaya Slaughterhouse In Dry Season

“…Based on research conducted by Ziemer et al, (2010), stated that there was a protozoan parasite infects swines. This research supported by the results obtained by Agustina et al, (2016) from 250 samples of piglet feces taken from farms in Bali province, it was known to be infected with protozoa with a prevalence of 91.6%. Protozoa that infect, among others, Amoeba sp.…”

“…Research by Yuliasari et al (2013) in the Baliem Valley, which shows a prevalence of 10%. However, the results of the examination also showed a lower prevalence when compared to the study conducted by Agustina et al (2016), the results of the study conducted in traditional market in Bali showed a prevalence of 61.2%. Higher prevalence of Balantidium sp.…”

“…in Surabaya slaughterhouse may affected by temperature and humidity, Surabaya has higher a b c d temperature and humidity, which is good for the development of protozoa compared to Baliem Valley. Meanwhile, the lower prevalence of infections compared to the study by Agustina et al (2016), could be due to the difference in the age of the swine at the time of sampling. Research by Agustina et al (2016) used fecal sample from piglets, where piglets are generally more sensitive to protozoan infections.…”

“…There are several factors that influence disease transmission, including disease agents, hosts, and environmental factors (Agustina et al, 2016). Environmental factors that can affect the prevalence of gastrointestinal protozoa are contamination of feed and water, maintenance management, malnutrition, and climatic conditions (Giarratana et al, 2012).…”
