İshalli buzağılarda cryptosporidiosisin yaygınlığı

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 2005-2009 tarihleri arasında, S.Ü. Veteriner Fakültesi Parazitoloji A.B.D. laboratuarına gelen akut ishalli buzağılarda Cryptosporidium sp. prevalansının araştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada yaşları 1-35 gün arasında değişen 368 adet akut ishalli buzağı dışkısı materyal olarak kullanıldı. Dışkı örnekleri, Modifiye Ziehl-Neelsen tekniği ile boyandıktan sonra mikroskopta Cryptosporidium sp. ookistleri yönünden incelendi. Bulgular: Dışkı örneklerinin laboratuar incelemesinde, 368 ishalli dışkı örneğinin 145 (%39.4)’inde Cryptosporidium sp. ookisti saptandı. Cryptosporidium sp. ookistleri en yüksek 1-10 günlük buzağılarda %46 oranında belirlenirken en az 11-20 günlük buzağılarda %31 oranında görüldü. Öneri: Neonatal buzağılarda görülen ishallerin tedavisinde C. parvum’unda dikkate alınması gerektiği sonucuna varıldı.

Prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in calves with diarrhea

Aim: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp. in calves with diarrhea in University of Selcuk, Department of Parasitology between 2005 and 2009. Materials and Methods: Faecal samples were collected from 1-35 days old 368 calves. Faecal samples were stained with Modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique, they were examined under light microscope for the presence of Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts. Results: Out of 368 faecal samples, 145 (39.4%) were found to be infected with Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts. Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts were seen in 1-10 days age calves at the highest level (46%) and 11-20 days age at the lowest level (31%). Conclusion: C. parvum should be considered in the treatment of diarrhea in neonatal calves.
