Dogs are known to be infected by different blood parasites which are transmitted through vectors and produce illness collectively termed canine vector borne diseases (CVBD) in tropical and subtropical countries including Nigeria. This study investigated the prevalence of haemoparasites of dogs in Maiduguri, as well as the risk factors associated with their occurrence. The study was carried out from February 2019 to November 2019. Five wards namely Bolori 1, Bulabulin, Gwange 2, Lamisular and Limanti were selected out of the fifteen wards in the Metropolis using simple random sampling technique. Individual dog selection was based on systematic random sampling technique. Blood samples were collected from dogs via cephalic venipuncture. Wet mount, thin blood smear and buffy coat techniques were used to detect the presence of haemoparasites. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) dogs were sampled, out of which fifty one (51) were males and sixty nine (69) were females, fifty six (56) were adults (> 1 year) while sixty four (64) were young (0 – 1 year). The numbers of local, exotic and cross breeds were 64, 45 and 11 respectively. Eighty eight (88) of the dogs were confined while thirty two (32) were roaming freely. This study showed an overall prevalence of haemoparasites (14.16%) with Babesia canis (12.50%) and Ehrlichia canis (1.66%). Chi-square showed significant (P ≤ 0.05) association between haemoparasitism and age, sex and management practice. There was no association between haemoparasitism and breed (P > 0.05). It was concluded that haemoparasites are detectable among dogs in Maiduguri Metropolis and hence, the need to raise awareness on the prevention and control of haemoparasitic infections in dogs due to possible threat to animal and human health in the study area.

Typhoid is a life-threatening disease that has remained endemic in parts of Africa and Asia where its burden is elevated by the inefficiency of control efforts which have been hampered by lack of epidemiological data, among others. In Nigeria, such data is absent in most of the States like Gombe where the disease has been rife for a long time, hence, to bridge that knowledge gap, this study was set up to determine the host-associated risk factors for typhoid occurrence and recurrence in Gombe. A questionnaire that was designed and validated for this location was used to obtain data from 663 respondents using simple random sampling and analyzed using the Chi-square test for association and binomial logistic regression to obtain risk factors for typhoid occurrence and recurrence, respectively. The study revealed that occurrences were statistically significantly associated with the variables for vaccination (χ2 = 39.729, p < 0.01), having houseboy/girl (χ2 = 16.909, p < 0.01), typhoid patient at home (χ2 = 13.393, p < 0.01), hand washing before handling food (χ2 = 22.856, p < 0.01), consuming iced/frozen items (χ2 = 16.805, p < 0.01), boiling drinking water (χ2 = 49.633, p < 0.01), and eating commercially available foods/drinks (χ2 = 27.864, p < 0.01), while recurrences were statistically significantly predicted by „not sure of been vaccinated‟ (OR = 2.962, CI = 1.290 to 6.802, p < 0.01), „not having another typhoid patient at home‟ (OR = 1.799, CI = 0.998 to 3.244, p < 0.01), and „drinking unboiled water sometimes‟ (OR = 2.130, CI = 1.023 to 4.434, p < 0.01). It is believed that these findings will guide efforts by the Government for health interventions against typhoid in the study area, thus improving the quality of life for the population.

Background: One Indicator of successful health development are toddlers free from stunting. The cause of stunting is a lack of macro and micro nutrients and chronic infectious diseases. Micronutrients such as zinc have  a role in growth which affects the  hormones that play a role in bone growth. The role of zinc in motoric development indirectly is in arranging  and releasing neurotransmitters that can affect nerve stimulation in the brain. This neurotransmitters will deliver nerve stimulation so that motor motion occurs. Motor development is a motion that involves muscles, brain and nerve that are controlled by the central part of the motor that is brain. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between adequacy of zinc intake and motoric development in stunted and non-stunted toddlers.Methods: This type of research is an observational study with cross sectional design. The sample size was 50 toddlers, consisted of 25 stunting toodlers and 25 non-stunting toddlers and lived  in Puskesmas Wilangan, Nganjuk District, chosen by simple random sampling technique. Adequacy of zinc intake data was assessed using the Food Recall Form 3x 24 hours. Measurement of motoric development using the Pre-Screening Development Questionnaire (KPSP). Descriptive and inferential data analysis using Chi Square Test. Results: The result showed that there was a correlation between the level of zinc adequacy and motor development in the stunting toddler group (p=0.04) and non-stunting toddlers group (p=0.031).Conclusions: The level of adequacy of zinc has enough motor development better than the level of zinc sufficiency is less in the group of non-stunting toddlers.ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Salah satu indikator keberhasilan pembangunan kesehatan adalah balita  terbebas dari stunting. Penyebab stunting yaitu kekurangan zat gizi makro maupun mikro dan penyakit infeksi kronis. Zat gizi mikro seperti zinc mempunyai peran pada pertumbuhan yaitu mempengaruhi hormon-hormon yang berperan dalam pertumbuhan tulang. Selain itu, peran zinc pada perkembangan motorik secara tidak langsung yaitu dalam menyusun dan melepas neurotransmitter yang dapat mempengaruhi rangsangan syaraf di dalam otak. Neurotransmitter ini akan menghantarkan rangsangan syaraf sehingga gerak motorik terjadi. Perkembangan motorik merupakan gerak yang melibatkan otot, otak dan syaraf yang dikontrol pada bagian pusat motorik yaitu otak.Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan kecukupan asupan zinc dengan perkembangan motorik pada balita stunting dan non-stunting.  Metode: Jenis penelitian tergolong penelitian observasional dengan desain cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 50 balita, terdiri dari 25 balita stunting dan 25 balita non-stunting yang bertempat tinggal  di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Wilangan Kabupaten Nganjuk, dipilih dengan teknik simple random sampling. Data kecukupan asupan zinc dinilai menggunakan formulir Food Recall yang dilakukan 3x24 jam. Pengukuran perkembangan motorik menggunakan Kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP). Analisis data secara deskriptif dan Inferensial menggunakan uji Chi Square.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara tingkat kecukupan zinc dengan perkembangan motorik pada kelompok balita stunting (p=0,04) dan kelompok balita non-stunting (p=0,031).  Kesimpulan: Tingkat kecukupan zinc cukup mempunyai perkembangan motorik yang lebih baik daripada tingkat kecukupan zinc kurang pada kelompok balita non-stunting.

Stunted children will have normal cognitive ability if nutrition is improved. The rapid brain growth in the first 1,000 days of life means that children should not be malnourished. Stunting is generally caused by a lack of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fat) and micronutrients (calcium and zinc). The mobile application called stunting child nutrition (GiAS) has features that can detect stunting, monitor toddler growth, recommend daily menus for toddlers, nutritional adequacy rate (RDA) in 2019, and others. The purpose of this study was to make it easier to distinguish macronutrients, zinc, and calcium from stunting and non-stunting children aged 12–24 months using the GiAS android application. It is conducted at the Citeureup Community Health Center, Cimahi city, for June–July 2020. The sampling technique was a simple random sampling of 88 respondents. This type of research is an observational analytic with a statistical test is a cross-sectional design. The results of the study using the Mann-Whitney test showed differences in carbohydrates (84.99±26.31 vs 151.16±68.43, p=0.001), protein (30.81±11.03 vs 60.55±38.43, p=0.001), fat (32.80±15.39 vs 64.84±47.81, p=0.001), and calcium (0.55±0.40 vs 1.43±1.16, p=0.001) and there is similarity of zinc (0.005±0.004 vs 0.010±0.016, p=0.084) after 7 days of using the GiAS application between stunting and non-stunting children. The probability value <0.05 means that the application can compare macronutrients, zinc, and calcium between stunted and non-stunted children on the 7th day. Chi-square analysis showed an increase in children's weight and height under five at two weeks and one month (p=0.001). In conclusion, the comparison of macronutrients, zinc, calcium in stunting and non-stunting children aged 12–24 months can be differentiated using the GiAS application. APLIKASI GIZI ANAK STUNTING (GIAS) BERBASIS ANDROID UNTUK MENILAI ZAT GIZI MAKRO, ZINC, DAN KALSIUM PADA ANAK STUNTING DAN NON-STUNTINGAnak stunting akan memiliki kognitif yang normal jika dilakukan perbaikan gizi yang optimal. Pertumbuhan otak yang pesat di 1.000 hari pertama kehidupan menjadikan anak tidak boleh kekurangan nutrisi. Stunting umumnya kekurangan zat gizi makro (karbohidrat, protein, dan lemak) serta zat gizi mikro (kalsium dan zinc). Aplikasi mobile bernama gizi anak stunting (GiAS) memiliki fitur yang dapat mendeteksi stunting, memantau pertumbuhan balita, merekomendasikan menu harian untuk balita, angka kecukupan gizi (AKG) tahun 2019, dan lainnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah kemudahan membedakan zat gizi makro, zinc, dan kalsium anak stunting dengan non-stunting usia 12–24 bulan menggunakan aplikasi android GiAS di Puskesmas Citeureup Kota Cimahi periode Juni–Juli 2020. Teknik pengambilan sampel adalah simpel random sampling sebanyak 88 responden. Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik observasional dengan uji statistik adalah desain cross-sectional (α=0,05). Hasil penelitian  menggunakan Uji Mann-Whitney terdapat perbedaan karbohidrat (84,99±26,31 vs 151,16±68,43; p=0,001), protein (30,81±11,03 vs 60,55±38,43; p=0,001), lemak (32,80±15,39 vs 64,84±47,81; p=0,001), dan kalsium (0,55±0,40 vs 1,43±1,16; p=0,001) serta ada persamaan zinc (0,005±0,004 vs 0,010±0,016; p=0,084) sesudah 7 hari penggunaan aplikasi GiAS antara anak stunting dan non-stunting. Nilai probabilitas <0,05 berarti aplikasi dapat membandingkan zat gizi makro, zinc, dan kalsium antara anak stunting dan non-stunting pada hari ke-7. Analisis chi-square terlihat peningkatan berat badan dan tinggi badan balita pada 2 minggu dan 1 bulan (p=0,001). Simpulan, komparasi zat gizi makro, zinc, kalsium anak stunting dan non-stunting usia 12–24 bulan dapat dibedakan menggunakan aplikasi GiAS.
