A study of African swine fever virus in Regional VI of the Disease Investigation Center of Denpasar Bali in Indonesia.

Background And Aims: African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease that causes major economic losses due to morbidity and fatality rates of up to 100% in wild boar and domestic pigs. The disease emerged in Africa in 1921 and then entered several European countries by 1957. In Indonesia, the first outbreak of ASF in 2019 in North Sumatra killed thousands of pigs and quickly spread to 10 out of 34 pig-producing provinces, including Bali and Eastern Nusa Tenggara.

Assessment of Cell Cycle and Induction of Apoptosis by Shiga-like Toxin Produced by Escherichia coli O157:H7 in T47D Breast Cancer Cells Using Flow Cytometry.

Background: The low general toxicity against tumors expressing globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and Shiga-like toxins produced by E. coli have been proposed as an anti-cancer therapy because of their specific target. This study aimed to determine the potency of the local strains of E.

Molecular identification of lactic acid bacteria SR6 strain and evaluation of its activity as an anticancer in T47D cell line.

Background And Aim: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women because it attacks the productive age. Preliminary studies showed that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strain SR6 from the Bali cattle colon has the potential to act as a superior probiotic. It is also assumed that its bacteriocin structure is specific and has a strong relationship with the specificity of the ligand and its biological activity at a receptor.

Evaluation of Community-Based Dog Welfare and Rabies Project in Sanur, a Sub-district of the Indonesian Island Province of Bali.

The Indonesian island province of Bali experienced its first rabies incursion in 2008. Mass vaccination of the dog population has proven effective and rabies cases in dogs and people have decreased, however the virus is still circulating among the dog population. Vaccination coverage must be maintained until rabies elimination.

Dog Ecology and Rabies Knowledge of Owners and Non-Owners in Sanur, A Sub-District of the Indonesian Island Province of Bali.

This study gained an understanding of dog demographics, owner behaviour, and knowledge, attitudes and practices relating to rabies in three villages in Sanur, Bali, providing insights for an intervention to improve responsible dog ownership. A combination of a census of all dogs, street surveys of roaming dogs, and a Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) survey was used to study both dogs and people. A total of 6009 dogs were recorded, of which only 3.

Reducing zoonotic and internal parasite burdens in pigs using a pig confinement system.

Aim: This study was designed to validate the effectiveness of the pig confinement system (PCS) in reducing the prevalence of zoonotic and internal parasite burdens in pigs.

Materials And Methods: Ten PCS households were selected together with 10 households practising traditional scavenging systems. Five pigs were monitored per household every 3 months for 15 months and blood and feces collected.
