Abstract

Toxocariasis in dogs is caused by infection of Toxocara canis. The disease is not recognized and often underestimated by the owners. Toxocara canis is a pathogenic gastrointestinal worm and the larva could infect the internal organs, which cause diarrhea and kill the animals if the disease is not seriously handled. Toxocara canis is not only danger to the animals but it could also infect the human being.  The purpose of this study was to identification Toxocara canis on puppy in Makassar Pet Clinic. Feces samples were collected from 31 puppies in Makassar Pet Clinic. Feces were examined by native method and floating method to detected eggs of Toxocara canis based on their morphology. The result showed 5 samples were identified positive of Toxocara canis and 26 samples were negative of Toxocara canis Keywords: Toxocariasis, Toxocara canis, Endoparasite, Puppy

Abstract

Aspiculuris tetraptera is one of helminth parasite commonly found in mice. The response of the mice to parasite infection varies depending on various factors. Immune system is one of the factors that affect the occurrence of parasite infection in the host. The purpose of this study were to observe the parasitemia level and the immune respons of mice that infected with Aspiculuris before and after challenge infection. Mice were infected with Aspiculuris twice to see the development of parasite and the immune respon. Feces and blood samples were collected from the mice. Feces samples were examined by floating method to find the parasite egg, whereas blood samples were examined by blood smears to count the differential leukocytes. The result showed that Aspiculuris tetraptera eggs appear in the feces on the 20th day after infected as many 200 eggs/gram and increased on the 26th day as much 300 eggs/gram of feces. The peaks of eosinophils were on the 3rd and 6th days at 2.8% and 3.1% respectively. The level of Neutrophils and monocytes showed fluctuations but the trend decrease from day to day. Lymphocyte levels also showed fluctuations but tended to increase from the first day to the 26th day.

Abstract

Fractures are commonly find in the world of veterinary practitioners. Fractures do not only occur as a result of accidents, but can also occur due to bone diseases or due to an imbalance nutrition in animals. One method that can be used to increase the healing process is through bone implantation. Bone graft is a material to speed up the bone healing process because it can provide mechanical support and signals to the body's molecules to maximize tissue growth. Bone implants that are often used and commonly found are bovine bone implants. Another implant material that we can use is horse bone. Bone grafts from horse bones have not been widely studied. Horse bone has the potential to be used as bone graft material because it has a more compact and harder structure. The aim of this study was to asseess the haematological profile of fracture rabbit with horse bone graft. The experimental animal used was a rabbit. A total of 12 rabbits were divided into three groups, namely the control group, the group with horse bone graft, and the group with commercial bone graft. Horse bone graft is obtained from horse bone waste through sintering and hydroxyapatite synthesis processes. Blood collection was performed pre-surgery, week 2 and week 6 postoperatively to see the response and description of blood cells against bone graft. The results of hemoglobin and erythrocyte examinations showed no significant difference between the three groups (P<0.05). Hemoglobin level in rabbits implanted with horse bone grafts was still at normal levels, except for the erythrocyte levels which were slightly below normal after surgery.
