First record of Synhimantus (S.)laticeps (Rudolphi, 1819) Railliet, Henry et Sisoff, 1912 (Nematoda, Acuariidae) in Accipiter nisus (Aves, Accipitridae) in Turkey

Bu çalışmada, Samsun Çevre ve Orman İl Müdürlüğü tarafından Eylül 2008’de Fakültemiz Parazitoloji laboratuarına getirilen bir dişi atmacanın postmortem muayenesi sırasında midesinden bir dişi ve iki erkek Synhimantus laticeps (Rudolphi, 1819) Railliet, Henry et Sisoff, 1912 teşhis edilmiştir. Türkiye’de bu cins ve Synhimantus laticeps’in ilk kayıt olması nedeniyle parazitin önemli morfolojik özellikleri, ölçümleri ve fotoğrafları verilmiştir.

Türkiye’de atmacada (Aves, Accipitridae) ilk Synhimantus (S.)laticeps (Rudolphi, 1819) Railliet, Henry et Sisoff, 1912 (Nematoda, Acuariidae) olgusu

One female and two male nematodes were identified as Synhimantus (Synhimantus) laticeps (Rudolphi, 1819) Railliet, Henry et Sisoff, 1912 in the postmortem examination of a female goshawk’s gizzard (Accipiter nisus) which was brought to our Parasitology Laboratory by the Directorship of Environmental and Forestry authorities of Samsun, Turkey in September, 2008. Some morphological features, measures and photographs of the nematodes were given within this report. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Synhimantus (S.) laticeps and also the genus from Turkey.
