Abstract

This report represents the prevalence of endoparasite infestation in swiftlets (Aerodramus fuciphagus) in swiftlet houses in Central Java Province, Indonesia. A total of 76 samples of faeces of edible-nest swiftlet (A. fuciphagus) were collected from several swiftlet houses in Central Java. The endoparasite detection method in this study used a combination of the native method, the sedimentation method, and the floating method. Based on the results of this study, endoparasite infestation in edible-nest swiftlet (A. fuciphagus) in Central Java was 28%. Endoparasites found included Tetrameres spp. (7%), Notocotylus sp. (11%), and Raillietina sp. (11%). This study provides data on the incidence of endoparasite infestation in edible-nest swiftlet (A. fuciphagus).
