Kejadian Infeksi Virus pada Anjing Selama dan Pacsa Pandemi COVID-19 di Rumah Sakit Hewan Pendidikan IPB University

Abstract

Populasi anjing di Indonesia meningkat saat terjadi pandemi dan setelah pandemi COVID-19. Peningkatan populasi berkorelasi dengan kejadian infeksi virus. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menguraikan prevalensi infeksi virus pada anjing selama dan pasca pandemi COVID-19 beserta faktor risikonya. Penelitian ini menggunakan rekam medik, dan dianalisa secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian prevalensi infeksi virus selama pandemi COVID-19 yaitu 0.7% dan pasca pandemi COVID-19 yaitu 2.6%. Faktor risiko tertinggi infeksi virus pada anjing selama pandemi meliputi Puppy (40%), ras Shihtzu (40%), jenis kelamin jantan (80%). Jenis virus Canine Hepatitis Virus dan Canine Distemper Virus (40%). Faktor risiko tertinggi infeksi virus pada anjing pasca pandemi meliputi Young Adult (50%), ras mix (62,5%), jenis kelamin jantan (62,5%), Jenis virus Canine Parvovirus 62,5%. Penyebab infeksi virus pada anjing dapat disebabkan kurangnya pengetahuan pemilik, cara pemeliharaan yang tidak baik, faktor vaksinasi, dan faktor lingkungan. Simpulan Kejadian infeksi virus pasca pandemi lebih tinggi dibandingkan selama pandemi pada anjing di Rumah Sakit Hewan Pendidikan IPB University.

The dog population in Indonesia increased during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This population growth correlates with the occurrence of viral infections. This study aims to describe the prevalence of viral infections in dogs during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, along with their risk factors. This study utilized medical records and was analyzed descriptively. The results the prevalence of viral infections during the COVID-19 pandemic, was 0.7%, whereas after the pandemic, was 2.6%. The highest risk factors for viral infections in dogs during the pandemic included puppies (40%), Shih Tzu breed (40%), male dogs (80%). Canine Hepatitis Virus and Canine Distemper Virus identified in 40%. After the pandemic, the highest risk factors included young adult dogs (50%), mixed breeds (62.5%), male dogs (62.5%), Canine Parvovirus detected in 62.5%. The causes of viral infections in dogs can be attributed to a lack of knowledge among dog owners, improper dog care practices, unvaccinated dogs, and environmental factors. Conclusion: The incidence of viral infections post-pandemic is higher than during the pandemic in dogs at the IPB University Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
