Publication Infestation with fleas, ticks and lice in sheltered stray dogs in Turkey(Schluetersche Verlagsgesellschaft Mbh & Co Kg, 2020-01-01) Coşkunserçe, Gözde; Çırak, Veli Yılgör; ÇIRAK, VELİ YILGÖR; Aydın, Levent; AYDIN, LEVENT; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.; 0000-0003-0570-2514Sheltering stray dogs is becoming a common practice by governmental veterinary administrations in Turkey in recent years, and veterinary surgeons have been facing various health issues of these animals including parasitic diseases. Three-hundred and fifty dogs from three municipal shelters in Bursa province were examined for flea, tick and louse infestations. The prevalence of infestation was evaluated relative to host age, gender, hair length and season. Of the examined dogs, 59.7% were found to be positive for ectoparasites. Seven species were identified including three species of fleas (Ctenocephalides canis, Ctenocephalides felis, Pulex irritans), three species of ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Rhipicephalus turanicus, Haemaphysalis erinacei) and one louse species (Trichodectes canis). Our study revealed the presence of H. erinacei in dogs for the first time in Turkey. The prevalence rates for fleas, ticks and T. canis were 51.1%, 12.0% and 4.9%, respectively. The most common parasite was C. canis (43.4%) followed by C. felis (27.4%) and R. sanguineus (9.7%). Neither gender nor hair length was determined as risk factors for prevalence of ectoparasite species, whereas dog's age (<1 year) was positively associated with the infestation rates of C. canis and T. canis. Season significantly affected the prevalence of R. sanguineus and flea infestations. In conclusion, this is the first study regarding the prevalence of canine ectoparasites in Bursa province, Turkey. Taking into consideration that canine ectoparasites frequently serve as natural vectors for important zoonoses veterinarians should attempt to reduce the infestation in dog populations.Publication Prevalence of anoplocephalidae-infections according to fecal examination in sport horses(Ankara Üniversitesi, 2015-01-01) Gülegen, Ender; Girişgin, Ahmet Onur; Girişgin, Oya; Çırak, Veli Yılgör; Gülegen, Ender; GİRİŞGİN, AHMET ONUR; GİRİŞGİN, OYA; ÇIRAK, VELİ YILGÖR; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Hayvan Sağlığı ve Hayvansal Üretim, Araştırma ve Uygulama Merkezi; Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Parazitoloji Anabilim Dalı; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Karacabey Meslek Yüksek Okulu; 0000-0002-0020-2708; 0000-0001-9896-1093; JRY-1676-2023; B-5286-2017; JJV-7704-2023; JIT-4266-2023Aim of the present study was to determine the prevalance of Anoplocephalidae infections on enterprices where horses are kept for sport purposes (race, jumping, etc). A total of 460 horses of different age, gender and breed from 18 centres located in Bursa, Balikesir, Kocaeli, Tekirdag and Eskisehir were examined. Individual faecal samples were collected per rectum or freshly voided faeces. The samples were examined by means of sedimentation+centrifugation-flotation technique used saturated sugar solution (d=1.3) as medium. Anoplocephalidae-eggs were detected in 56 (12.2%) horses, whereas on 8 (44.4%) farms at least one horse was found to be infected. The lowest and the highest within farm prevalence was 4.3% and 70%, respectively. Males and Arabian purebred horses had significantly higher infection rates than females and the other breeds, respectively. Differences in prevalence in relation to age -animals between 1 and 3 years of age being more affected than older and younger ones- are seen.Publication Ectoparasites of hedgehogs (Erinaceus concolor) from Turkey(Schluetersche Verlagsgesellschaft Mbh & Co Kg, 2015-07-01) Girişgin, Ahmet Onur; Şenlik, Bayram; Aydın, Levent; Çırak, Veil Yılgör; GİRİŞGİN, AHMET ONUR; ŞENLİK, BAYRAM; AYDIN, LEVENT; ÇIRAK, VELİ YILGÖR; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Parasitoloji Bölümü; 0000-0002-0020-2708; 0000-0003-2964-2245; B-5286-2017; GBN-0139-2022; HLG-4450-2023; CKL-2130-2022Hedgehogs are small, nocturnal, spiny-coated animals that have been growing in popularity as exotic pets. However, these animals are host to a wide variety of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites, some of which are of zoonotic character. Thus, because hedgehogs have a potential role to transmit zoonoses including arthropod-borne diseases, we examined them for their ectoparasites. The study was carried out on hedgehogs found dead mainly due to road casualties in the Bursa province of Turkey. The ectoparasites were collected by both insecticide spraying of the body and inspection on a white paper carefully. Totally three species of ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Hyalomma aegyptium, Haemaphysalis parva) and one flea species (Archeopsylla erinacei) were detected. The prevalence of mixed infestation with both ticks and fleas was 45.5%. Haemaphysalis parva was reported for the first time from hedgehogs (Erinaceus concolor) in Turkey. The occurrence of ectoparasites and their potential role as vectors of certain zoonotic diseases are briefly discussed.
