Abstract
Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menginvestigasi infestasi pinjal dan infeksi Dipylidium caninum (Linnaeus) pada kucing liar di ingkungan kampus Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), Dramaga. Tiga puluh ekor kucing liar dikumpulkan dari beberapa tempat di sekitar IPB Dramaga. Kucing liar yang menunjukkan gejala klinis pruritus dan alopecia dikumpulkan secara purposif. Seluruh tubuh kucing dibedaki dengan bedak gamexan, setelah itu pinjal dikoleksi secara manual dan diperiksa secara mikroskopis. Sebanyak 30 sampel feses kucing dikoleksi dan diperiksa terhadap keberadaan D. caninum dengan metode Mc Master dan pengapungan, serta dilihat juga keberadaan proglotid. Hasil identifikasi menunjukan hanya ditemukan satu spesies pinjal, yaitu Ctenocephalides felis (Bouce), sedangkan pada sampel feses tidak ditemukan D. caninum. Dua puluh satu kucing terinfestasi pinjal dengan rata-rata kepadatan pinjal per kucing 3,8 ± 1,9 individu. Derajat infetasi pinjal tergolong ringan, sehingga peluang kucing untuk menelan pinjal dan terinfeksi D. caninum sangat kecil.This study was conducted to investigate flea infestation and Dipylidium caninum (Linnaeus 1758) infection on stray cat on Bogor Agricultural University Dramaga. Thirty stray cats were collected from various places around on Bogor Agricultural University Dramaga. The stray cats that showed clinical signs of pruritus and alopecia were collected purposively. The whole body was powdered by gamexan powder, after that the fleas were collected by manual and examined microscopically. The totals of 30 fecal stray cat samples collected and examined toward D. caninum used Mcmaster methode, flotation methode, and saw the existence of proglottid. The result of identification showed that there was found one species of flea, namely Ctenocephalides felis (Bouche 1835), while on faeces was not found D. caninum.
