Abstract We investigated migratory birds’ role in spreading Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) through attached ticks. detected CCHFV RNA ticks on birds Turkey. Two isolates showed similarity with genotype 4, suggesting a for epidemics Turkey and spread of by birds.

Reptiles are terrestrial tetrapods with a cosmopolitan distribution worldwide, diversity of more than 10,000 species. Due to this diversity, there many interactions both animals and humans within the ecosystem. Naturally, reptiles affect life cycle ectoparasites that transmit pathogenic or nonpathogenic agents animals. In study, it was aimed reveal ectoparasitic fauna commonly found in Sakarya, Samsun, Artvin provinces between 2021 2023. The study examined 1021 individuals 26 different host...

A 2.5-year-old small male Cavalier King Charles spaniel was brought to Ondokuz Mayıs University's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Animal Hospital with symptoms severe watery diarrhea, pain during defecation, intermittent cough, vomiting, and emaciation. Examination the fecal smear revealed moderate infection Strongyloides stercoralis larvae two adult females. Counting in feces performed by Baermann method 20 were determined per gram feces. The dog treated ivermectin (Avromec, 0.2 mg/kg...

Abstract Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by Echinococcus multilocularis , is one of the most important zoonotic diseases. The parasite has a heterogeneous life cycle; more than 40 small mammal species have been determined to be potential intermediate hosts worldwide. Turkey highest endemic countries for AE, but only limited information available concerning transmission biology E. . study aimed provide data on host (focus genus Microtus ) across involved in foxes, which risk public...

Feather mites (Astigmata: Analgoidea and Pterolichoidea) are commensal ectosymbionts permanently living on avian hosts. The study was based parasitological examination of 59 bird specimens representing 28 species from the orders Accipitriformes, Apodiformes, Columbiformes, Passeriformes, Pelecaniformes, Strigiformes collected in Artvin, Samsun, Sakarya, Türkiye. We recovered 18 feather mite families Avenzoariidae, Eustathiidae, Gabuciniidae, Kramerellidae, Proctophyllodidae Pterolichidae....

A study was carried out to investigate the presence of Echinococcus multilocularis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) two regions Turkey-central Anatolia (in Asia Minor) and Thrace European part Turkey). total 405 putative fox feces were collected from central (186 specimens 59 locations) (219 114 locations). All samples examined by flotation sieving method for taeniid eggs, positive further analyzed multiplex PCR. In seven three locations (5.1%) one (0.9%) Thrace, E. DNA amplified, this result...

In Brief A 29-year-old male patient presented with complaints of a localized mass behind his right lower eyelid that had been present for the last 6 months. Ophthalmologic examination was completely normal except 2 cm × painless on inferior orbital rim eyelid. An excisional biopsy planned, and an anterior orbitotomy performed by lateral canthotomy cantholysis. Premature rupture cyst occurred during dissection, disclosing thin white parasite surrounded copious purulent material. The...

We present the results of studies on chewing lice collected during period 2009-2010 from 32 wild birds belonging to 11 species, in Kızılırmak Delta Turkey.From 13 louse species identified studied material, six them are new records for parasitological fauna Turkey, namely: Ricinus fringillae De Geer, 1778 ex Fringilla coelebs; Cuculicola latirostris (Burmeister, 1838) Cuculus canorus; Brueelia domestica (Kellogg & Chapman, 1899) Hirundo rustica; merulensis (Denny, 1842) Turdus merula;...

Babesiosis, theileriosis, and anaplasmosis are the tick-borne diseases of cattle in most tropical areas Turkey. A total 270 were randomly selected from 27 villages 77 farms Black Sea Region Turkey for determination infections by Babesia bigemina Anaplasma marginale using indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). Of those, 242 256 sera also analyzed antibodies against Theileria annulata bovis IFA test, respectively, during period June...

The occurrence of feline myiasis is rare. Massive infestations dipteran larvae can lead to death if not treated at an early stage. Auricular, anal and umbilical was detected in three neonatal kittens. were collected, fixed 70% alcohol clarified with 10% KOH for a few days. Later, dissected under the stereomicroscope, mounted on slides then identified as third instar black blowfly, Phormia regina (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), according their stigmatic cephaloskeleton structures. Original...

We attempt to address new information of haematozoan infections in dogs from Samsun province Turkey. The diagnostic techniques using genus specific polymerase chain reaction designed amplify a fragment ∼666 bp located 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene Hepatozoon spp. include microscopic investigations. H. canis identities were confirmed by sequencing the rRNA gene. Two hundred (170 stray and 30 owned dogs) blood samples asymptomatic treated for endo ecto parasites examined. There no detected...

Birds have a symbiotic relationship with many ectoparasite groups such as chewing lice (Mallophaga: Amblycera, Ischnocera), fleas (Siphonaptera), keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), mites (Acari: Sarcoptiformes, Trombidiformes) and ticks Ixodidae, Argasidae). In fact, this is mainly based on parasitism, but feather are mostly classified commensal ectosymbionts, compared to other parasitic insects arachnids. This study reports tick mite species detected dead specimen of the Great Tit (Parus major...
