Trypanosoma evansi and Trypanosoma equiperdum are very difficult to distinguish morphologically. However, molecular identification algorithms sequentially using Mini and Maxi primers can distinguish the two species. Duplex polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) facilitates simultaneous amplification but is difficult to visualize with gel electrophoresis because it produces overlapping amplicons.

Background: is a known cause of a zoonotic infectious illness called toxocariasis. Parathenic hosts are important as they can transmit larvae 2 (L) through direct transmission. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques are needed to provide a three-dimensional image of each stage of larvae.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the prevalence of a zoonotic pathogen in rodents from densely populated coastal areas of Banyuwangi Sub District, Indonesia, which has been less studied despite its significance to public health.
  • - Researchers captured and analyzed 169 rodents from three villages using various methods, revealing two species with infection rates of approximately 23-24% across the villages, with the highest rate found in Kampung Mandar.
  • - Findings showed no significant difference in infection rates between male and female rodents, indicating that both species pose a risk as potential sources of the pathogen for humans in the studied regions.

Four strains (SB-PR, SB-RS, SB-RD, and SB-RM) of Trypanosoma evansi (T. evansi) were used in this study. SB-PR is known to be trypanocide-sensitive, while the others are trypanocide-resistant to suramin, diminazene diaceturate, and melarsomine hydrochloride, respectively.

Background: The protozoan is the source of zoonosis toxoplasmosis and causes public health problems throughout the world. Environmental contamination by oocysts excreted by cats as definitive hosts affects the spread of this disease. Wild rats as rodents can be used as an indicator of environmental contamination by oocysts, considering that rats have a habit of living in dirty environments and can be infected by oocysts from the environment.

Background And Aim: Various methods can detect foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in cows, but they necessitate resources, time, costs, laboratory facilities, and specific clinical specimen submission, often leading to FMD virus (FMDV) diagnosis delays. The 2022 FMD outbreak in East Java, Indonesia, highlighted the need for an easy, inexpensive, rapid, and accurate detection approach. This study aims to devise a one-step reverse transcriptase loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) technique and phylogenetic analysis to detect the serotype O FMDV outbreak in East Java.

Background And Aim: infection is a significant issue of veterinary public health because it is potentially transmitted through goat milk. Therefore, the use of control measures and routine monitoring of toxoplasmosis in dairy goats is necessary. Serological analysis using antibodies can detect infection.

The number of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases increases annually, and Indonesia has become the country with the fastest HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic spread among the five Southeast Asian countries. Indonesia entered the critical phase of HIV/AIDS infections after 5 out of the 33 provinces, namely, Papua, Jakarta, Bali, West Java, and East Java, reported HIV/AIDS epidemic since 2004. In AIDS pathophysiology and immune-suppression are severe, thus, opportunistic intestinal parasitic infections that cause diarrhea in HIV infection may be fatal.

Bacground: is an intracellular obligate protozoan parasite that infects most warm-blooded animals including humans. It can cause congenital infection with clinical symptoms ranging from mild to severe including microcephaly. At the cellular level, infection causes apoptosis in some tissues and it is induced by proinflammatory cytokines, such as IFN-γ and TNF-α.
