Gastrointestinal helminth parasites of pets: Retrospective study at the veterinary teaching hospital, IPB University, Bogor, Indonesia.

Background And Aim: Dogs and cats are popular pets that play integral roles in human societies worldwide. Unfortunately, they can carry potential zoonotic helminths that can be transmitted to humans. However, data on the gastrointestinal helminths affecting dogs and cats in Bogor, Indonesia, are currently lacking.

The contribution of domestic animals to the transmission of schistosomiasis japonica in the Lindu Subdistrict of the Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.

Background And Aim: Schistosomiasis is endemic in Indonesia and is found in three remote areas in Central Sulawesi Province. Non-human mammals serve as reservoir hosts, meaning the disease is zoonotic. The previous schistosomiasis studies in animals from the Lindu Subdistrict did not determine which domestic animal species can serve as the primary source of transmission.

Serological and molecular prevalence of equine piroplasmosis in Western Java, Indonesia.

Infections with these parasite species had never been reported in horses in Indonesia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of T.

Current status of schistosomiasis in Indonesia.

Schistosomiasis japonica is currently endemic in three very isolated areas in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.
