Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the prevalence and risk factors of zoonotic intestinal helminth infections in cats across Indonesia's five major cities (Jabodetabek).
- Fecal samples from both shelter and household cats showed a significant infection rate (37.9%) with various types of helminths, indicating serious public health concerns.
- The research highlights the need for improved management practices, such as regular deworming and better hygiene, to prevent the spread of these infections to humans and other animals.
Article Synopsis
- Coccidiosis is a major problem in the poultry industry, typically managed with synthetic antibiotics and disinfectants.
- This study shows that Piper betle L essential oil (PBEO) can effectively combat Eimeria tenella, demonstrating up to 95.33% anticoccidial activity by disrupting oocyst walls and inhibiting sporulation.
- Key compounds identified in PBEO, such as eugenol, highlight its potential as a natural alternative to conventional treatments, warranting further research into its applications against coccidian parasites.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF STRIPED CATFISH SKIN, NILE TILAPIA SKIN, AND PORCINE SKIN AS A XENOGRAFT MATERIAL FOR BURN WOUND.
Ann Burns Fire Disasters
September 2024
Burn injury remains a health problem, specifically in Indonesia. In major burns, xenograft has been proved to be useful as temporary wound coverage. However, some xenografts are not widely available due to cultural, financial and religious backgrounds, or have an unesthetic appearance, such as the scaly appearance of tilapia fish xenograft.

- - 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.
Background And Aim: Toxoplasmosis is caused by the parasite . Cats are the only known hosts that excrete resistant oocysts. Wild rats serve as crucial reservoirs and intermediate hosts for survival and dissemination.
