Site distribution and identifiation of parasitic strongyle from cattle in Central Java, Indonesia
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: To identify intestinal strongyle in cattle originated from Central Java. Methods: Faecal samples from 633 cattle were collected from animals allocated in different areas of Central Java. Samples positive for strongyle type eggs were submitted to coproculture. The L3 strongyle were thereafter isolated and characterized morphologically. Results: There were 20.4% of the cattle severely infected with strongyles (221 from 633 cattle), 34.4% with moderate and 45.2% with mild infection. The highest total infection of strongyle was found in Sleman. Cooperia sp. (32%), Trichostrongylus sp. (20%), Nematodirus sp. (14%), Haemonchus sp. (12%), Chabertia sp. (12%), Oesophagostomum sp. (6%) and Ostertagia sp. (4%) were identified by morphological identification of infective larval stages. Conclusions: This study shows high incidence of strongylosis in Central Java with different strongyle species observed. The data provide baseline for further investigations of the control strategies for this disease in the region.
