Article Synopsis
- The Sunda porcupine, a rodent species native to Indonesia, is used in traditional medicine for treating ailments like back pain and toothache, though scientific research on its medicinal properties is limited.
- This study aimed to identify active compounds in the ethanolic extract of Sunda porcupine quills and assess their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, employing various assays for evaluation.
- The results revealed the extract has significant antioxidant (IC 138.93 μg/mL) and antimicrobial properties against several bacterial strains, with 24 active compounds identified, including notable antioxidants and antimicrobial agents like butylated hydroxytoluene and eicosane.
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.
Article Synopsis
- * Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) can spill over from these markets to humans, posing significant threats to public health, as shown by examples like COVID-19 and avian flu.
- * The study aims to identify high-risk human-animal interfaces to help create interventions and strategies for controlling disease spread from animals to humans.
Background And Aim: Fasciolosis due to is endemic to tropical countries and in temperate climates, highly detrimental to livestock and known as foodborne zoonotic diseases. The strategic control of the disease is mainly the use of chemical anthelmintic. This study aimed to evaluate the anthelmintic properties of extract on the ova and adult stages of .

- Fasciolosis is a parasitic disease that affects the liver and bile ducts in livestock, making control measures crucial in areas where it is common.
- This study examines the impact of ethanolic extracts on different life stages of the parasite, showing that varying concentrations significantly reduced the development of eggs and killed adult flukes within certain time frames.
- The findings suggest that the extract possesses effective anthelmintic properties against the parasite F. gigantica, evidenced by observed damage to the parasites' structures.
Background: Several studies have been published on the characterization of venoms. However, there is still limited information concerning the venom composition of species distributed throughout Indonesia, which contributes to significant snakebite envenomation cases. The present study describes a comparative on the composition of and venoms originated from Indonesia.

Understanding the genome of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for delivering public health intervention as certain variants may have different attributes that can potentially affect their transmissibility, as well as the performance of diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics.

Thus, this study aimed to analyze the genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships among Indonesian catfish based on the mitochondrial () gene.
Materials And Methods: In total, 28 catfish were collected from nine rivers in seven provinces and from the Indian Ocean.
Aims: This study aimed to determine the genetic characterization and phylogenetic structure of Indonesian indigenous catfish using cytochrome B (Cyt B) sequences.
Materials And Methods: The genomes of 26 catfishes caught from nine rivers from nine different geographical locations around Indonesia were analyzed. The tissue isolation method was used to isolate the total genome of the fishes.
Background And Aim: Many avian species are considered sexually monomorphic. In monomorphic bird species, especially in young birds, sex is difficult to identify based on an analysis of their external morphology. Accurate sex identification is essential for avian captive breeding and evolutionary studies.
