İran’ın Kerman bölgesi koyun koksidiyozisinin patoloji ve prevalansı

Amaç: Araştırma amacı güneydoğu İran’ın Kerman bölgesi koyunlarında Eimeria enfeksiyonun varlığını araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Toplam 227 koyundan doğrudan dışkı örnekleri alındı. Dışkı örneklerinde ookist varlığı flotasyon tekniği ile araştırıldı. Her bir gram dışkıda ookist varlığı ve Eimeria türleri tanımlandı. Bulgular: Yedi farklı Eimeria (E. crandallis, E. ovina, E. parva, E. ovinoidalis, E. faurei, E. ahsata ve E. intricata) türü identifiye edildi. Koksidiyozun prevalansında koyunların yaş ve cinsiyetinin önemli olmadığı (p>0.05) belirlendi. Conclusion: Koyunlarda Eimeria enfeksiyonun varlığı belirlendi ve antikoksidial uygulamalar önerilebilir.

The prevalence and pathology of ovine coccidiosis in Kerman, Iran

Aim: This study was undertaken to determine Eimeria infection in sheep in Kerman province. Material and Methods: Totally 227 faecal samples were collected directly from the rectum of sheep. Faecal samples were analyzed using floatation technique for the presence of coccidian oocysts. Oocysts per gram of feces and Eimeria species were identified.Results: Seven species of Eimeria (E. crandallis, E. ovina, E. parva, E. ovinoidalis, E. faurei, E. ahsata and E. intricata) were identified. The age and sex of the sheep had no significant (p>0.05) effects on prevalence of coccidiosis. Conclusion: Eimeria infection was prevalent in sheep and anticoccidial treatments should be recommended.
