Infestasi Lalat (Diptera: Cyclorrapha) pada Banteng Jawa (Bos javanicus) di Taman Margasatwa Ragunan Jakarta Selatan
Abstract
The information about ectoparasites on Javanese bull is still limited. This
study aims to determine the family and level of infestation of flies in java bulls.
The data was obtained by observing the morphology of flies that reached the bull's
body and then calculated the number in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The
data were analyzed in descriptive analysis. The level of fly infestation was divided
into 3 namely low (between 1 and 9 flies), medium (between 10 and 18 flies), and
hight (more than 18 flies) based on the average of fly populations. The result of
this observation were 2 families of flies namely Muscidae and Calliphoridae. The
infestation levels of Muscidae on both bulls were low, medium, and hight
meanwhile the infestation of Calliphoridae was low. The enrichment areas are
likely to affect fly infestations. Flies that land on bulls irritate the bulls as it
perches around the nose and around the eyes, which cause the bulls to restless
