Abstract

Ancylostomiasis is disease caused by hookworm parasite known as Ancylostoma spp. The number of cat owners has increased year to year in Banyuwangi City. This condition may also increase the risk factor of disease transmission related to Ancylostomiasis, which can be transmitted from cat to owner. The purpose of this research is to determine the prevalence of Ancylostomiasis infection in pet cats. This research used 138 samples divided into 73 male pet cat feces and 65 female pet cat feces using the floatation method. From 138 samples of examined pet cat feces, in 22 samples (15.9%) the egg of Ancylostoma spp was positively found. Meanwhile, from 138 samples of examined pet cat feces, 9 samples from male cat (6.5%) positively contained the egg of Ancylostoma spp and 13 samples from female cat (9.4%) positively contained the egg of Ancylostoma spp. A control program needs to be applied for diseases caused by an Ancylostoma spp. infection in cats that are beneficial to the animal and public health aspects. This study’s results could also be used for further study, such as disease mapping, molecular epidemiology, and development of new anthelmintic drugs against Ancylostomiasis.
