Sulawesi, one of the archipelago's largest islands, presents a high potential for JE transmission due to its conducive environmental, economic, and cultural factors. Between 1972 and 2017, JE-positive samples were detected sporadically in various hosts, including humans, pigs, bats, cattle, goats, chickens, and mosquitoes (<i>Culex tritaeniorhynchus</i>). This review consolidates historical data and provides a contemporary perspective on JE ecology in Sulawesi. The island's extensive rice fields (95% of districts) and its high density of amplifying hosts - especially pigs, which inhabit 65.5% of districts - highlight critical transmission dynamics. In addition, Sulawesi supports a diverse array of reservoir hosts, such as endemic bats and bird species, which enhance JE's zoonotic potential. Bats, including <i>Dobsonia viridis</i> and <i>Rousettus celebensis</i>, are particularly notable for their reservoir roles. Furthermore, at least nine mosquito vector species, led by <i>C. tritaeniorhynchus</i>, thrive in Sulawesi's wetland ecosystems, amplifying transmission risk. Despite the island's high-risk profile, JE surveillance remains inconsistent, with limited government-led diagnostic programs. Historical and recent data underscore the need for systematic investigations into JE's epidemiology, emphasizing molecular and serological detection, vector surveillance, and the role of amplifying hosts in transmission cycles. Key challenges include limited awareness, diagnostic infrastructure, and climate change, which exacerbate vector bionomics and disease dynamics. This review advocates for the integration of JE diagnostic tools, public health interventions, and vaccination programs tailored to Sulawesi's ecological and sociocultural context.

The highest attachment prevention (82.67%), biofilm formation inhibition (84.26%), and biofilm eradication (86.04%) were observed at 9.25%. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between the extract and negative control groups, with no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the 8.25%-9.25% extracts and chlorhexidine.

This study investigates the potential of ethanolic extracts from Wild Egyptian Artichoke (WEA) (<i>Cynara cardunculus</i> L. var. <i>sylvestris</i>) to modulate virulence-associated genes and provide an alternative control strategy.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>A total of 160 tissue samples from diseased chickens were collected and analyzed. Phenotypic, biochemical (via Vitek 2 Compact), and molecular methods were used to identify <i>P. multocida</i>. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed the presence of key adhesion and colonization genes (<i>omp87</i>, <i>ptfA</i>, <i>pfhA</i>) in MDR isolates. The antimicrobial efficacy of WEA ethanolic extract was assessed using disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays. Gene expression changes were evaluated using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR after treatment with sub-inhibitory extract concentrations.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Eleven isolates (6.9% prevalence) of <i>P. multocida</i> type A were confirmed, with four showing resistance to over five antimicrobial classes. The ethanolic WEA extract demonstrated significant antibacterial activity, with inhibition zones of up to 25 mm, MIC values ranging from 4 to 16 µg/mL, and MBC values between 8 and 32 µg/mL. Gene expression analysis revealed up to threefold downregulation in <i>omp87</i> (0.28-fold), <i>pfhA</i> (0.25-fold), and <i>ptfA</i> (0.12-fold) after treatment.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The WEA ethanolic extract effectively downregulates critical virulence genes in MDR <i>P. multocida</i>, highlighting its potential as a novel natural agent for controlling fowl cholera in chicken.
