Abstract Background The canine parvovirus, with its many variants, is responsible for a pivotal and common viral infection affecting millions of dogs other carnivore species worldwide, particularly the wild ones, which are considered as main reservoir hosts. To that end, this study investigated presence parvovirus (CPV) in red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ) living habitats several regions Turkey. Methods We randomly collected 630 archival fox stool specimens from rural areas 22 provinces used...
Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of alveolar echinococcosis (AE), a potentially fatal zoonotic disease. Large parts Turkey are considered as endemic for E. multilocularis. The aim this study was to determine occurrence metacestode in wild rodents Erzurum, an region human AE Turkey. During sampling period, total 498 were trapped twenty counties Erzurum Province. Suspected lesions observed on livers 48 rodents, and then partial fragment mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene...
Abstract The Anatolian Peninsula, comprising most of modern Turkey, is situated at the junction Europe, Middle East and Asia. Together with its complex geomorphological climatic history, this has given rise to a rich fauna flora, which exhibits wide range historical biogeographical patterns. stone marten (Martes foina) small carnivore that found across temperate Palaearctic region including Anatolia, where it often associated habitats modified by humans, but few genetic data exist for...
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...
Abstract Subterranean life is associated with strong adaptive constraints, leading to the frequent occurrence of morphologically cryptic lineages. This true most small mammals, including moles (Eulipotyphla: Talpidae), where a number species have been recognized recently, particularly following application molecular genetics. Here, we use mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data geometric morphometrics explore systematics evolution some least-known Western Palaearctic moles: Talpa...
This study was carried out to determine flea species infesting small, wild rodents and insectivorous mammals of the Aegean Region in Turkey. A total 52 mammals, comprising one four rodent species, namely Crocidura suaveolens, Mus macedonicus, Apodemus flavicollis, Microtus levis, witherbyi, were captured. Fleas collected, preserved 70% alcohol, labelled for identification field. In laboratory, they cleared 10% KOH mounted with Hoyer's medium. The fleas identified as Stenoponia tripectinata...
Complete m itochondrial genome of paratype specimen Taurus ground squirrel Spermophilus taurensis was assembled for the fi rst time.We provide data concerning sequencing, assembly, and annotation obtained mitochondrial genome.The studied mitogenome being 16 447 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA 22 transfer an origin L-strand replication a control region.Data whole confi rmed sister position S. closely related species citellus on phylogenetic tree, which...
The phylogenetic, phylogeographic and evolution history of Sciurus anomalus was studied in the Anatolian Peninsula using a 1726 bp region mitochondrial genome. phylogenetic network analyses 32 specimens suggested that S. consists two main lineages, an eastern western lineage. Both lineages are nested within Greek Lebanese populations, but not Syrian or Iranian populations. Coalescence indicated both originated during Chibanian geological stage under climatic fluctuations, one them Anatolia...
Using a geometric morphometrics approach, we examined shape and size variations of skull mandible bone two evolutionarily distantly related mice from Turkey: Mus domesticus macedonicus. PCA analyses revealed overlap in dorsal cranium shapes both species, consistent with previous traditional morphological methods. The M. macedonicus seems to be larger than according box-plot centroid values, however there is no obvious difference for the mandible. No was observed between sexes either...
The Golden Jackal, Canis aureus (L., 1758) is one of the most widespread species canids, ranging from Central Europe and Balkans to Middle East Asia; however, relatively little known about genetic diversity, population structure, evolutionary history Turkish population, which occurs at a key crossroads in species' range. present study assesses phylogenetic status demographic populations relative those elsewhere Asia by analysing two mitochondrial DNA markers (cytochrome b, 1140 bp control...
Abstract Mitochondrial genetic variation was examined in long-eared hedgehogs, Hemiechinus auritus , from the Anatolian Peninsula, adjacent island of Cyprus and Azerbaijan. These data were compared with those available other parts species’ range North Africa Asia. Two distinct cytochrome- b lineages are present Anatolia, one them previously unknown. The lineage found south-eastern Anatolia has been identified Egypt is likely around eastern coast Mediterranean. close relationship between...

This diagnostic survey of chigger mites the family Trombiculidae was conducted across 26 provinces Turkey during 2015 -2016.A total eight species from 5 genera were collected 7 diff erent host wild rodents and soricomorphs.The as follows: Brunehaldia brunehaldi (Vercammen-Grandjean, 1956), B. bulgarica (Vercammen-Grandjean Kolebinova, 1966), Cheladonta sp., Kepkatrombicula kudryashovae (Stekolnikov, 2001), K. serbovae (Kolebinova, 1972), Neotrombicula sympatrica N. vulgaris (Schluger, 1955)...
Spermophilus citellus (Linnaeus, 1766), commonly referred to as the European ground squirrel, exists in specific areas of Central Europe and Balkans. The species is currently listed ‘‘vulnerable’’ on IUCN Red List Threatened Species. Recently genetic studies have shown that has two main lineages; northern southern. lineage shows distribution range at central western part Balkans Europe, whereas southern spread a more limited area, which includes eastern parts purpose this study reveal...
