PENANGGULANGAN CAPLAK RHIPICEPHALUS SANGUINEUS DENGAN VAKSINASI
ABSTRACT: The tiltle of this
study is Rltipiceplta/us sanguineus controls by vaccination. The vaccine used
from crude adulttick extracts to vaccinated dogs, shccps and rabits. The
experimental animals were inoculated subkutaneously, threetimes every two weeks
with crude adult tick extracts and adjuvant. Fifteen days after the last
inoculation all animalswere submitted to challenge infestation with unfed adult
ticks. The dogs were placed in the severe contaminatedenvironment. The ticl.:s
were placed inside a feeding chamber consisting of a plastic tube to the saved
back of shccps.Ticks were placed for save behind the ear of rabbits.
Observation was done 3 days after infestation. The results ofthis investigation
were observed that most of ticks were recovered in dogs either vaccinated or
non vaccinatedgroups, however on the control groups without vaccinated ticks
the infestation were higher than vaccinated groupsas well as in the sheeps and
rabbits. In the rabbits although ERCE value between vaccinated and non
vaccinatedgroups not significants statistically, there were demonstrated that
ERCE value in the vaccinated groups lower thancontrol groups without
vaccinated. According to our investigation we can concluded the usc of tick
antigen couldinduced resistance by direct immunisation. Adult ticks of
Rltipicepltalus sanguineus crude extract tends to induceresistance in rabbits,
sheeps and dogs with different level of resistance. The immunity seems not to
be acquiredduring a natural exposure tends to evolved with crude adult tick
extracts vaccinations.
