Ancylostomiasis in cats in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and its causative genetic relations

Abstract. Dami JC, Damayanti LPE, Indarjulianto S, Priyowidodo D. 2023. Ancylostomiasis in cats Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and its causative genetic relations. Biodiversitas 24: 2605-2611. is a zoonotic cat disease caused by one or more species of Ancylostoma spp. This study aims to determine ancylostomiasis Yogyakarta research used ten with ancylostomiasis, based on the findings eggs their feces. Cats were examined clinically laboratory, including blood profile identification eggs. The ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region was amplified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequenced; results compared Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). As result, physical examination showed that suffered from diarrhea (100%), decreased appetite (70%), weakness (60%), anemia emaciation, dull hair (10%). Blood 5 (50%) had normochromic normocytic anemia, 1 (10%) hypochromic microcytic anemia. PCR tests, sequencing, phylogenetic tests found isolates been successfully identified as braziliense De Faria 1910, identical A. Australian isolate (DQ359149.1). Therefore, it concluded braziliense.
