Infections of humans with the tick-borne Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) can cause a severe case fatality rates up to 80%. Most are infected by tick bite, crushing ticks hand or unprotected contact blood viremic mammals. Next notified human CCHF cases, real distribution and situation in animals Southeastern Europe nearly unknown. Since domestic ruminants play crucial role life cycle vector transmission amplification virus, antibody prevalence those is good indicator for...
Abstract Background Culicoides obsoletus is an abundant and widely distributed Holarctic biting midge species, involved in the transmission of bluetongue virus (BTV) Schmallenberg (SBV) to wild domestic ruminants. Females this vector species are often reported jointly with two morphologically very close C. scoticus montanus , forming Obsoletus/Scoticus Complex. Recently, cryptic diversity within was geographically distant sites. Clear delineation characterization genetic variability...
Turkey is in an essential geographic position for transmitting honey bee diseases from Asia to Europe. This study investigated Tropilaelaps mercedecae and Euvarroa sinhai, a potential risk European beekeeping, the first time throughout Turkey. In addition, situation of varoasis has been comprehensively revealed. total, 1199 colonies 401 apiaries were examined 40 provinces About 200 workers 10-cm2 honeycomb with capped brood cells collected each hive. While species not found, varroasis was...
In August 2014, a West Nile virus (WNV) strain belonging to lineage 2 was detected in the brain tissues of 9 year old mare euthanised after showing severe clinical signs Bursa region, Turkey. Phylogenetic analyses 290 bp NS3 coding region clustered Turkish together with 2010-2012 Greek isolates. Either IgG and IgM or only WNV antibodies were 11 horses, respectively, which outbreak surrounding. No RNA pools 50 individuals Culex pipiens (n = 2), Ochlerotatus caspius theileri 1) collected...
This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the prevalence of protozoan parasites in stool samples collected from patients presenting with various gastrointestinal complaints Medical Parasitology Laboratory Kafkas University Research and Application Hospital between 2019 2022.
We investigated the Culicoides fauna in Turkey during years 2016-2019 process of entomological surveillance for arboviral diseases. The survey was conducted at 104 sampling stations 51 provinces four consecutive years. There were approximately 450,000 specimens and 59 identified species collected surveillance. Ten newly recorded Turkey: C. chiopterus, grisescens, paradoxalis, santonicus, poperinghensis, sergenti, tbilisicus, comosioculatus, haranti, univittatus. Identification chiopterus...
Determination of host preferences blood-feeding arthropods is an important criterion for how ectoparasite-host interactions, selection, and feeding behaviour affects pathogen transmission.This study aimed to examine the host's blood from engorged Culicoides species collected cattle farms in Turkey shed light on their preferences.For this purpose, we investigated 5 different hosts (cattle, sheep, dog, horse, human) 7 species/species complexes by multiplex-PCR analysis, considering domestic...
