Judul: Ketahanan Kayu Jati Unggul Nasional (Tectona grandis Lf.) Terhadap Serangan Rayap Tanah dan Rayap Kayu Kering
Abstrak: Fast grown’s teak has low durability because the teak was harvested in short age. The aims of study was to study effect combination of temperature and heat periode to teak wood durability againts subterranean (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren) and dry wood termites (Cryptotermes cynocephalus Light). The temperature level used in this study were 1000C, 1200C, 1400C, 1600C, and 1800C and heating periode level used were 3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours, 12 hours, dan 24 hours. The wood samples were tested by termites attack according to SNI 01-7207-2006. Result showed that in subterranean termites test, heating periode affected to weight loss. Increasing periode of heating, increase durabiliti’s teak wood from class IV to class III. While, in dry wood termites test, wood durablity was affected by temperature and heating at 160-1800C increase durabiliti’s teak wood from class IV to class III.

Abstrak: The objective of this research was to analyze the natural durability of 12 woods species grown in Mount Walat Forest Education, Bogor Agricultural University against subterranean termite (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren) and dry wood termite (Cryptotermes cynocephalus Light). Sapwood and heartwood parts of bungur, jabon, puspa, simpur, tanjung, agathis, mahoni, pasang, sungkai, krey payung, and salam with diameter in the range of 15-35 cm were used in this experiment. Assessment of natural durability of wood against termite attacked referred to SNI 01.7207-2006. The results indicated that the weight losses of woods were varied among species and wood part. Sap and heartwoods of filicium, sapwood of bungur, pasang, and heartwood of simpur, and mahoni had the highest natural durability against C. curvignathus (2nd class). Sap and heartwood of salam, heartwood of bungur, puspa, tanjung were classified to 3rd class. Sap and heartwood of pinus, sungkai, sapwood of simpur, mahoni, puspa, tanjung and heartwood of pasang were classified to 4th class. Sap and heartwood of agathis, jabon, and pinus had the lowest natural durability against C. curvignathus (5th class). Almost all parts of 12 woods species tested belonged to 1st class against C cynocephalus except sapwood of agathis, pinus, and jabon belonged to 2nd class

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.
