Abstract

Eimeria bovis is a pathogenic protozoan that causes cattle digestive tract infections, which can cause economic losses to farmers. It is necessary to develop specific and accurate detection methods to conserve livestock and prevent
coccidiosis in Indonesia. This study aims to detect E. bovis by nested PCR and determine the relationship with reference sequences. A total of 167 samples of beef cattle feces were taken randomly from community farms spread across 18
provinces in Indonesia. The feces were examined natively, and then the oocysts were purified by the sugar flotation method, extracted by KIT extraction, and amplified by the nPCR technique. Positive samples were followed by sequencing
and phylogenetic analysis using MEGA 11 software. This study used two pairs of primers (outer and inner) taken from ITS-1 molecular markers. As many as 96 out of 167 samples (57.5%) were positive for Eimeria spp., and 48 of the 96
samples were positive for Eimeria spp. (50%) were detected to be positive for E. bovis based on the presence of a 238 bp DNA fragment. The results of the phylogenetic analysis showed that the study sample formed a separate cluster from the E. bovis cluster from abroad. In conclusion, E. bovis was detected in 16
out of 18 provinces in this study, and the nPCR technique proved to have better sensitivity and specificity.
