Judul: Kondisi Ekologi Makrobentos Pada Ekosistem Mangrove Dan Laut Desa Hanura, Kecamatan Padang Cermin, Propinsi Lampung.
Abstrak: Mangrove forest waters is an area that always affected by seawater tide; soft and always wet substrate with rich of organic materials. Mangrove forest water is very sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance. Thus, it will increase the amount of dissolve organic materials on surface, body, and bottom of sediment waters which will affect the physical-chemical condition of waters and macrobenthos community. The aim of this study is to describe ecological condition of macrobenthos in mangrove forest through diversity index, similarity index, and dominance index; describe physical-chemical parameter condition of interstisial waters on mangrove sediment and seawater; analyze organic materials inputs from mangrove leaves against macrobenthos abundance. This research was conducted in mangrove forest Hanura Village, Padang Cermin Sub-district, Lampung Province; from February-June 2012; using quadrate transect. Linier regression analysis shows that have different for physical-chemical parameter of interstisial water on mangrove sediment. Some macrobenthos have correlated with physical-chemical interestrial water on the mangrove sediment with value R2>50%. Coefficient determinan test indicate Anadara ferruginea (R2= 57,9%) and Chicoreus torrefactus (R2= 56,2%) have a real correlation with interestrial water in mangrove sediment and seawater. Coefficient correlation value Anadara ferruginea is (76,1%) and Chicoreus torrefactus is (75,0%) was shown linier relationship between macrobenthos and parameter physical-chemical waters.

Judul: Macrozoobenthic Community Structure in the Mangrove Aquatic Ecosystem of Pejarakan Village, Bali
Abstrak: Struktur komunitas makrozoobentos yang menurun biasanya menjadi indikator adanya gangguan ekosistem di perairan tersebut, hal ini disebabkan makrozoobentos mobilitas rendah serta siklus hidup relatif panjang, sehingga mampu merespon dengan segera gangguan di lingkungan secara kontinyu. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis struktur komunitas makrozoobentos, yang mencakup komposisi jenis, kepadatan, indeks keanekaragaman, indeks keseragaman, dan indeks dominansi pada lingkungan perairan mangrove dan sekitarnya di Desa Pejarakan, Bali. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan September 2022, Januari 2023, September 2023 dan Januari 2024 dengan enam titik stasiun pengamatan, yang mewakili inlet tambak, outlet tambak dan area mangrove. Sampel bentos diambil menggunakan Van Veen Grab serta dilakukan pengukuran kualitas air secara insitu. Data dianalisis menggunakan struktur komunitas, PCA, indeks similaritas Bray-Curtis, serta AMBI dan M-AMBI. Makrozoobentos di lokasi penelitian tersusun atas lima filum. Kepadatan tertinggi pada Januari 2024 yaitu 289 ind/m2. Indeks keanekaragaman (H’) rendah-sedang (1,99 3,17), keseragaman (E) tinggi (0,69-0,96), dominanasi (C) rendah-sedang (0,13-0,38). Analisis PCA menunjukkan persebaran makrozoobentos dipengaruhi oleh parameter kekeruhan dan TSS. Analisis AMBI menunjukkan dominan makrozoobentos bersifat umum dengan nilai AMBI berkisar 0,62-1,29., Decreased macrozoobenthic community structure is usually an indicator of ecosystem disturbance in these waters, this is due to macrozoobenthic low mobility and a relatively longlife cycle, so that it is able to respond immediately to continuous disturbances in the environment. This research aims to analyze macrozoobenthic community structure, which includes genera composition, density, diversity index, evenness index, and dominance index in the mangrove ecosystem waters and its surroundings in Pejarakan Village, Bali. This research was conducted in September 2022, January 2023, September 2023 and January 2024 with six observation stations representing shrimp pond inlet, outlet, and mangrove area. Benthos samples were taken using a VanVeen Grab and water quality measurements were carried out in-situ. Data were analyzed using community structure, PCA, Bray-Curtis similarity index, and AMBI and M-AMBI. The macrozoobenthos at the research location is composed of five phyla. The highest density will be in January 2024, (289 ind/m2). Diversity index (H') is low-medium (1.99-3.17), uniformity (E) is high (0,69-0,96), dominance (C) is low medium (0,13-0,38). PCA analysis shows that the distribution of macrozoobenthos is influenced by turbidity and TSS parameters. AMBI analysis shows that the dominant macrozoobenthos is general with AMBI values ranging from 0,62-1,29.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
