ABSTRAK

Infeksi protozoa merupakan salah satu penyakit parasitik yang umumnya bersifat kronis serta menyebabkan penurunan berat badan dan penurunan produksi sampai daya reproduksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat protozoa gastrointestinal pada Harimau Sumatera (Panthera tigris sumaterae) dan Harimau Benggala (Panthera tigris tigris) di Taman Margasatwa Medan dan protozoa dari genus apa saja yang menginfeksi harimau harimau tersebut. Sampel pada penelitian ini menggunakan sampel feses yang didapat dari 6 ekor Harimau Sumatera dan 7 ekor Harimau Benggala. Sampel diambil tiga kali dalam kurun waktu yang berbeda dengan interval 3 minggu. Sampel feses diambil pada pagi hari kemudian ditambahkan dengan formalin 10% dengan perbandingan 1:1. Sampel dibawa dengan menggunakan ice box yang telah diisi es ke Laboratorium Parasitologi Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Univesitas Syiah Kuala untuk dilakukan pemeriksaaan. Pemeriksaan sampel dengan menggunakan metode Floatasi, metode Folmol Eter, dan metode Fast Acid Ziehl-Neelsen. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa 76% dari populasi harimau di taman margasatwa medan positif terinfestasi protozoa gastrointestinal dari genus, Cryptosporidium spp. Balantidium spp. Eimeria spp. Entamoeba spp. Isospora spp. Dengan prevalensi sebesar 66,67% pada harimau Sumatera dan sebesar 85,71%. pada Harimau Benggala

ABSTRACT

Protozoan infection is a parasitic disease that is generally chronic and causes weight loss and decreased production to reproductive capacity this study aims to determine whether there are gastrointestinal protozoa in Sumateran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumaterae) and Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) in Medan Wildlife Park and to see which protozoa from any genus infect these tigers. The sampel used in this study were feces that were collected for examination of gastrointestinal protozoa which were obtained from 6 Sumateran tigers and 7 Bengal tigers. Sampels were taken three times in different time periods at intervals of 3 weeks. sampels were taken in the morning and put into bottle sampel and added with equal volume of 10% formalin with a ratio of 1:1. Sampels were transported using ice box that were filled with ice to the Laboratory of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Syiah Kuala University to be examined. Sampels examined using Floatation method, Folmol Ether method, and the Fast Acid Ziehl-Neelsen method. The results of this study indicate that Sumateran Tigers (Panthera tigris sumaterae) and Bengal Tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) in Medan Wildlife Park were positively infested with gastrointestinal protozoa from the genus Cryptosporidium spp. Balantidium spp. Eimeria spp. Entamoeba spp. Isospora spp. The results of this study showed that 76% of the tiger population in the wildlife park was positively infected with gastrointestinal protozoa of the genus, Cryptosporidium spp. Balantidium spp. Eimeria spp. Entamoeba spp. Isospora spp. With a prevalence of 66.67% in Sumatran tigers and 85.71%. in Bengal Tiger.
