Judul: Uji coba penggunaan pelet yang mengandung Imunoglobulin-Y (IG-Y) anti koi herpesvirus sebagai pencegah penyakit pada ikan mas (Cyprinus carpio carpio)
Abstrak: The objective of this research was to observe effective dose in conducting common carp passive immunization and to reduce disadvantage of carp breeders. This research uses 100 common carps which weight is 50 grams each, and treatment groups based on negative control, low dose 5% (w/w) Ig-Y, and high dose 20% (w/w) Ig-Y. The treatmen of the Ig-Y was applied on its pellet and was given within 14 days and 28 days. The treatment data was taken after the serum test, challenge test, Polymerase Chain Reaction, and then analyzed descriptively. The serum test indicated that cross reaction was shown in low dose 5% (w/w) Ig-Y treated at 14 days. Challenge test on 5% (w/w) treatment shows good survival rates. PCR test shows a negative results in sick carp gills sample. Passive immunization of Ig-Y anti KHV in fish pellet able to reduce KHV infection and mortality which effective dose is 5% (w/w) for 14 days.

Abstrak: Koi herpesvirus (KHV) is a herpesvirus which especially infects and causes mass mortality to koi and common carp. Therefore the protection of carp from KHV infection is urgently needed. In this study, we developed an application of DNA vaccine containing gene encoding KHV glycoprotein by immersion method to increase survival of common carp against KHV infection. As many as 400 of 30-day-old common carp juveniles were immersed in the water containing 1.3 x 108 CFU/ml of the killed Escherichia coli cells carrying DNA vaccine. Treatments performed were variation of duration and frequency of DNA vaccine immersion; as follows: 1x 30 minutes, 1x 60 minutes, 1x 90 minutes, 2x 90 minutes, and 3x 90 minutes of immersion treatments. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis showed that DNA vaccine was successfully expressed among the vaccinated fish. Twenty eight days post vaccination, the fish were challenged by injecting 10-4 ml/fish of KHV. The result demonstrated that vaccination by 30 minutes immersion; allowed the 61% of fish survived, this was significantly different (P<0.05) compared to control (without vaccination), but insignificantly different (P>0.05) compared to those of other treatments. The relative percent survival of vaccinated fish were also similar among different treatments (P>0.05). Vaccination by immersion have increased the survival rate about 2 fold compared to unvaccinated fish control (26.67%). Thus, DNA vaccine was effective delivered by immersion for 1x 30 minutes, and this technique can be useful to level up the resistance to KHV infection in common carp juveniles.

Abstrak: Planetary Boundary Layer is the lowest part of the atmosphere directly affected by the earth’s surface and responds to surface forcings within a time period of hourly to daily. The thickness of boundary layer varies over space and time, ranging from hundreds of meters to a few kilometers. The objective of this study consist of the analysis of Boundary Layer based on diurnal and nocturnal vertical profiles of meteorological properties and identification of characteristics pertaining to tropical atmosphere (represented by Soekarno-Hatta (6.110S, 106.650E), Polonia (3.560N, 98.680E), and Da Nang (16.030N, 108.200E) stations) and subtropical atmosphere (represented by Perth (31.930S, 115.960E), Nanjing (32.000N, 118.800E), and Hakasskaja (43.780N, 87.620E) stations). Virtual potential temperature, specific humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric stability, and Bulk-Richardson number are used to estimate the boundary layer thickness. Vertical profile of the virtual potential temperature and specific humidity are used to determine the Mixed Layer heights during the day and Residual Layer heights during the night. On the other hand, the mean value of Turbulent Flow Thickness is derived from the vertical profile of the Bulk-Richardson number (RiB). Analytical results of this study revealed that Mixed Layer height in the tropical atmosphere varies in a range from 260 m to 1410 m, Residual Layer height varies in a range from 267 m to 925 m, whereas the Turbulent Flow Thickness variation is confined between 0 m to 335 m. In subtropical atmosphere Mixed Layer height varies in a range from 101 m to 1483 m, Residual Layer height varies in a range from 121 m to 1276 m, whereas the Turbulent Flow Thickness variation is confined between 0 m to 769 m. This study also revealed that, except during summer, Mixed Layer Heights in the tropics are normally higher than in the subtropics.
