Judul: Studi kasus infeksi parasit intraseluler darah merah pada kerbau lumpur (Bubalus bubalis) dari kecamatan Tenjolaya, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat.
Abstrak: This study was conducted to observe the infection of intraerythrocytic parasit. There were a total 64 blood sample of four buffaloes from Tenjolaya, Bogor, West Java. Sample was collected twice a week. Thin blood smear on glass slide were made, fixed in methanol,stained with Giemsa 10%. The parasitemia (percent of infected RBCs) was determined by enumerating the number of infected RBCs in relation to the number of 500 uninfected RBCs. Microscopic examination revealed the occurance of Babesia, Theileria and Anaplasma in RBC. Parasitemia in those bufallo were 0.00625 ± 0.009 % for Babesia, 0.058 ± 0.032% for Theileria and 0.230 ± 0.045 % for Anaplasma. Those low infected buffaloes had potential to become carrier and source of Babesiosis, Theileriosis and Anaplasmosis for naive population around.

Judul: Parasitemia Dan Diferensial Leukosit Akibat Infeksi Parasit Darah Pada Kerbau (Bubalus Bubalis) Di Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: The aim was to identifiy the type of blood parasites that attack in buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis), to determine blood parasites percentage, parasitemia rate based on the leukocyte differential of the buffaloes in Bogor. The Blood samples were collected from 14 buffaloes using blood smear method.Samples were processed in glass slide, stained with Giemsa 10% and were observed using a microscope with 1000x magnification.The parasitaemia were counted for every 500 red blood cells. The result showed buffaloes infections were caused by Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp, and Babesia sp. The highest parasitemia rate was caused by the infection of Theileria sp.which was 43%, followed by the infection of Anaplasma sp. which was 36%, 7% of double infections which were (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp.), (Theileria sp., Babesia sp..), and the triple infections 7% (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp., Babesia sp.). Although the parasitemia rate of the single infection Anaplasma sp. and Theileria sp. showed significant differences (P<0.05), hence, the buffaloes are still in the severity of mild diseases. The leukocyte differential showed the differences in every infection. The double infections (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp.) and (Theileria sp., Babesia sp.) had the highest lymphocyte count whereas the triple infections (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp., Babesia sp.) had the highest neutrophil count. The significant differences of the eosinophil count were showed on the single infections Anaplasma sp. and Theileria sp.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
