Phyllanthus niruri L. is one of the herbal ingredients that has been widely used to treat various diseases in humans such as intestinal infections, kidney stones, chronic liver disease, diabetes, hepatitis B, asthma, gonorrhea, bronchitis, syphilis and boost the immune system. The ability of P. niruri in overcoming various diseases is based on its phytochemical content and pharmacological properties. Based on these properties, the plant may possibly be used as a drug to treat diseases in fish. So the purpose of writing this article is to review the extent to which P. niruri can be used as an alternative medicine to treat disease and maintain fish health. Secondary metabolites and phyllanthine as specific compounds present in P. niruri have antibacterial effects for types of bacteria that usually attack fish such as Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella tarda, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition, it has the effect of being an antioxidant, immunostimulant and can be used for treatment and to increase fish growth.  So it can be concluded that P. niruri can be used as an alternative material to maintain health and help fish growth.

Background: Kidney stones are one of the oldest known and common diseases in the urinary tract with a prevalence that varies from 1% to 20%. Many phytotherapic and herbal medicines for kidney stones have been described for their treatment and prevention. Objective: The objective of this study is to perform a comprehensive review of several phytotherapic and herbal medicines published including clinical and animal studies. Results: Phytotherapy may influence the risk of recurrence in calcium oxalate and uric acid stones. The most solid evidence suggest that Phyllanthus niruri is one of the most studied components that appear to interfere with the calcium oxalate crystallization, reduced hyperoxaluria and hiperuricosuria and increased shock wave lithotripsy efficacy due to reduced crystallization without significant adverse effects, also Theobromine have shown to reduce the crystallization of uric acid in patients and appears to be a promising supplement to treat such stones. Conclusion: Many phytoterapic and herbal agents have been studies to treat and present urolithiasis, most of them only with studies of small number of patients or in animal models. Further randomized clinical trials are needed to evaluate the effect of these agents in kidney stones.

Probiotics application in aquaculture sector has been promoted since the government has banned antibiotics application in aquaculture sector. Probiotics are very useful in aquaculture because it can accelerate fish growth, improve fish health, and maintain water quality in good condition. However, there are many fish farmers who do not know the advantages, manufacturing techniques and the application of probiotics to support aquaculture activities. Therefore, we have conducted this community service for fish farmers in Meunasah Sukon Village, Lembah Sabil District, Southwest Aceh Regency. This community service is carried out through counseling by describing the benefits of probiotics, followed by discussions with participants and probiotics practice using natural ingredients that are easily available. The result showed that the level of understanding and knowledge of fish farmers in this village about the benefits of probiotics, how to manufacture and its application were increases after this community service was conducted. The activities of enhancement fish farmer capacities are needed to improve their abilities about information on aquaculture renewable technology.

Penyakit ikan merupakan salah satu masalah serius yang selalu dihadapi oleh para pembudi daya ikan. Penyakit akibat infeksi bakteri terutama yang disebabkan oleh Aeromonas hydrophila telah menyebabkan kerugian yang tidak sedikit. Penanggulangan penyakit infeksi bakteri dengan menggunakan antibiotika telah banyak dilakukan. Namun cara seperti ini apabila dilakukan dengan tidak hati-hati akan menimbulkan banyak masalah, di antaranya adalah terbentuknya bakteri yang resisten dan residunya dalam daging ikan. Cara lain yang dipertimbangkan lebih aman adalah dengan cara pencegahan yaitu dengan penggunaan vaksin dan bahan lain yang dapat menimbulkan kekebalan tubuh. Tanaman meniran (Phyllanthus niruri L.) telah banyak digunakan sebagai obat baik pada manusia maupun pada binatang ternak. Dalam tulisan ini akan dibahas tentang efektivitas ekstrak tanaman meniran terhadap bakteri Aeromonas hydrophila baik secara in-vitro maupun secara in-vivo yang diaplikasikan bagi pengobatan terhadap ikan yang terinfeksi bakteri Aeromonas hydrophila.

Abstract Interest in conservation, management, and captive rearing of Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus tridentatus in the Pacific Northwest has risen in recent years. General and specific information regarding the occurrence of fish pathogens and the risk of Pacific Lamprey as a vector for pathogens to other species is not well understood. Specific efforts to captively rear or artificially propagate Pacific Lamprey at facilities that are used for Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. have increased. We performed fish health surveys on wild-caught larval and adult Pacific Lamprey from locations that were used as lamprey sources for captive research to determine the occurrence of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that may be pathogens. A variety of potential pathogens was detected, most notably Aeromonas hydrophila and Vibrio vulnificus from larval Pacific Lamprey and A. salmonicida from adult lampreys. There was a general lack of pathogenic activity and absence of viral detections from all lampreys. The diversity of bacteria encountered from the larvae in our study could be indicative of the wide diversity of bacteria that is known to be associated with larval lamprey in general. Further efforts to understand pathogenic risk from Pacific Lamprey to salmonid propagation programs are warranted.

AbstractMedicinal plants proven to effectively cope with bacterial diseases one of which is the plant meniran (Phyllanthus niruri). Phyllanthus niruri can act as an antibacterial because it has an antibacterial ingredient content of flavonoids, alkaloids, phenols, and tannins. This shows that plants can be used as an antibacterial Phyllanthus niruri of E.tarda. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of the antibacterial of Phyllanthus niruri extracts and to find out the best concentration of Phyllanthus niruri extracts as antibacterial E.tarda according in vitro. The experiment was conducted in January 2011, housed at the Laboratory of Bacteriology Juanda Fish Quarantine Center and Laboratory of Organic Chemistry and Technology Faculty of Airlangga University Saints. This research method is done by the Minimum Inhibitor Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bacterial Concentration (MBC) with 12 treatment. The results showed that the best concentration for the treatment of the concentration of 0.0313 g / ml as indicated with no growth of bacteria and is the lowest concentration of the dilution.

In order to determine the lethal dose (96-h LD50) of the bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila to matrinxã, Brycon amazonicus, to be applied in challenge tests, 90 fish (63.23 ± 6.39 g) were divided into five treatments, with different bacterial solutions: T1 - Control (0.9% NaCl saline solution); T2 (4 x 10(11) cells/ mL); T3 (5 x 10(11) cells/ mL); T4 (1.36 x 10(12) cells/ mL) and T5 (3.06 x 10(12) cells/ mL). Fish were previously anesthetized with benzocaine (60 mg L-1), inoculated in the peritoneal cavity with the bacterial suspensions and then distributed into fifteen 80-L test chambers, where the water variables were monitored and fish mortality was observed. The experiment was randomly designed in three replicates and the 96-h LD50 was estimated according to the trimmed Spearman-Karber method. Water quality variables remained within adequate ranges for fish health and performance. Fish mortality rate increased with the bacterial concentrations of A. hydrophila (T1 = 0%; T2 = 16.66%; T3 = 44.44%; T4 = 72.22% and T5 = 100%), and the first mortalities were observed after 57 h, although the signs of the bacterial infection were already observed 24 h after the inoculation. The results indicate that the 96-h LD50 value of A. hydrophila to matrinxã is 6.66 x 10(11) cells/ mL.
