Abstrak: One of ectoparasites on Hemidactylus lizard are Geckobia mites of family Pterygosomatidae. This research aimed to determine the diversity, prevalence, infestation intensity, chaetotaxy, and total intensity of ectoparasites mites on Hemidactylus lizard in Depok. Mites were taken from head, eyes, a part of body, thigh, tail, front finger, and back finger, then preserved in 70% alcohol. Mites were prepared on whole mount method using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This research found 107 of lizard and nine species of ectoparasites mites namely Geckobia sp1, G2 (Geckobia glebosum), Geckobia sp4, Geckobia sp5, Geckobia sp7, Geckobia sp10, Geckobia sp11, Geckobia sp13, and Geckobia sp14. Prevalence mite on lizard H. garnotii was 85.18%, and H. frenatus was 84.61%. The highest of mite infection intensity on lizard H. garnotii was mite G1, and H. frenatus was mite G. glebosum. The highest infection intensity of mite was on H. garnotii. Leg chaetotaxy observations indicated that mites G2 is G. glebosum, G5 and G11 including Geckobia indica group, G10 and G14 including G. gleadoviana group, G13 including G. keegani group, and G4 including Geckobia group 1.

Abstrak: Gecko interacts with various types of mites, both ectoparasite and endoparasite. Ectoparasite mites are parasitic organisms that live on the surface of its host, sucking the blood or feed on hair, fur, skin, or skin secretions. Many species of gecko were infested by Geckobia. The aim of this research was to inventory, identify, analyze mite’s leg chaetotaxy, calculate the prevalance and intensity of mite infestation, and learn the diversity of ectoparasites mites on gecko in the inside and outside of Taman Margasatwa Ragunan. Mites were prepared by whole mount method using polyvinyl alcohol media. Identification results based on characters of mites found twelve species of Geckobia (G1, G2, G4, G5, G6, G7, G10, G11, G12, G13, G18, and G19). However, based on chaetotaxy, the G2, G4, and G6 were grouped in Geckobia grup 1, G10 in group with G. gleadoviana, G11 in group with G. indica, G13 in group with G. keegani, and G19 in group with G. oedurae. The G1, G5, G7, G12, and G18 in the new group Geckobia. The highest of mite infestation intensity on gecko C. platyurus was mite G4. The highest of mite infestation intensity on gecko H. frenatus was mite G1, and gecko H. garnotii was mite G10. H. garnotii has the largest infestation intensity values.

Abstrak: Sorghum can be used as a basic ingredient in developing ready to eat cereals. The general aim of this study was to develop cereal milks based beverages with sorghum as a main ingredient. The materials used to make cereal milk sorghum were milk powder, sorghum flour, sugar, cocoa powder, vanillin powder, and salt. This study covered two stages of experiment, i.e. preliminary and main experiments. The objective of preliminary study was to produce sorghum flour that can be rehydrated and has good characteristics. Flour that can be rehydrated known as pragelatinized flour. Pragelatinized sorghum flour can be achieved by studying the comparison of the amount of water added in the cooking stage that studied in the preliminary experiment. The ratio of coarse sorghum flour and water (w/v) tested were 1 : 2.5, 1 : 3, 1 : 3.5, 1 : 4, 1 : 4.5. The physical properties of the products resulted such as yield, water solubility index, and the rehydration time were analyzed. Based on these test results, the ratio of flour and water to be used in the main study was 1 : 4. The main study aimed to get a cereal milk formula that was suitable and acceptable by consumers. Variables observed on the main research in determining the optimum formulation of cereal milk were the amount of pragelatinized sorghum flour and milk powder added. The organoleptic test conducted showed that the formulation with a ratio of milk and pragelatinized sorghum flour 3 : 7 was chosen. Based on proximate analysis, the chosen formula contain (dry basis) 5.82% moisture content, 5.87% fat, 8.16% protein, 2.73% ash, and 83.24% carbohydrate. Chosen formula also contain 14.76% dietary fibre and total phenolic compound 3.28 mg GAE (Gallic Acid Equivalent)/ g product. Financial analysis that has been done shows milk cereal product development is feasible.
