ABSTRAK


Sekitas 60-70% penyakit baru pada manusia bersumber dari zoonosis. Garangan jawa, sebagai karnivota kecil yang memiliki peran penting dalam ekosistem tetapi juga berpotensi menjadi reservoir zoonosis yang signifikan. Garangan jawa (Herpestes javanicus), yang sering hidup dekat pemukiman, berpotensi menjadi reservoir parasit zoonosis, namun data terkait keberadaan dan infeksi parasit gastrointestinal pada spesies ini di Aceh Besar belum tersedia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui serta mendeteksi parasit gastrointestinal pada garangan jawa (Herpestes javanicus) di Aceh besar. Penelitian ini menggunakan 20 sampel feses garangan jawa yang diperikasa dengan menggunakan metode apung, metode sedimentasi, metode formil ether, metode Mc.Master dan metode Modified Ziehl-Neelsen. Hasil pemeriksaan menunjukan bahwa 20 garangan jawa terinfeksi parasit gastrointestinal Capillaria putorii, Strongyloides stercoralis, Ancylostoma spp., dan Cystoisospora rivolta. Prevalensi tertinggi ditemukan pada Ancylostoma spp. dengan 12.800 telur per gram tinja. Parasit Strongyloides stercoralis dan Ancylostoma spp. diketahui memiliki resiko zoonosis tinggi karena siklus hidupnya dengan larva infektif di tanah. Cystoisospora rivolta juga dapat menginfeksi manusia melalui kontaminasi mananan atau minuman atau air, menyebabkan gangguan gastrointestinal. Keberadaan parasit ini menyoroti potensial penyebaran zoonosis akibat kedekatan garangan jawa dengan manusia

ABSTRACT Approximately 60-70% of new diseases in humans were sourced from zoonosis. The javan mongoose, as a small carnivore, played an important role in the ecosystem but also had the potential to become a significant reservoir for zoonosis. The javan mongoose (Herpestes javanicus), which often lived near human settlements, was potentially a reservoir for zoonotic parasites; however, data regarding the presence and gastrointestinal parasite infections of this species in Aceh Besar were unavailable. This study aimed to identify and detect gastrointestinal parasites in the Javan mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) in Aceh Besar. The study used 20 javan mongoose sample that were examined using the floating method, sedimentation method, formol ether method, Mc.Master method and Modified Ziehl-Neelsen method. The examination result showed that 20 javan mongooses were infected with gastrointestinal parasites Capillaria putorii, Strongyloides stercoralis, Ancylostoma spp., and Cystoisospora rivolta. The highest prevalence was observed in Ancylostoma spp., with 12,800 eggs per gram of feces. Strongyloides stercoralis and Ancylostoma spp. were known to pose a high zoonotic risk due to their life cycles involving infective larvae in the soil. Cystoisospora rivolta also had the potential to infect humans through contaminated food, drinks, or water, causing gastrointestinal disturbances. The presence of these parasites highlighted the potential for zoonotic transmission due to the close proximity of the Javan mongoose to humans.
