Konya bölgesinde atlarda bulunan helmintlerin prevalansı

Amaç: Bu araştırma, Konya yöresinde yetiştirilen atlarda helmint türlerinin prevalansını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Rastgele seçilen beş çiftlikte farklı yaş, cinsiyet ve ırktaki 100 yetişkin at dışkı bakılarına göre incelenmiştir. Taze dışkı örnekleri 2016 Şubat ve Mart aylarında toplanıp, Flotasyon, Benedek sedimantasyon ve Baermann Wetzel tekniği ile incelenmiştir. Strongylid yumurtalar teşhis edildikten sonra dışkı kültürü yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Yumurtaların toplam prevalansı Cyathostomin’ler için % 49, Parascaris equorum için %12 ve Oxyuris equi için %2 oranlarında bulunmuştur. Beş at çiftliğinde en az bir at Strongylid yumurtası çıkarırken, sırasıyla ikinci ve dördüncü çiftlikte P. equorum ve O. equi yumurtaları atlar tarafından çıkarılmıştır. Strongylid yumurtalar ile enfekte örneklerden toplanan larvalar morfolojik olarak teşhis edilmiştir. Trichonema sp., Poteriostomum sp., Strongylus vulgaris, Strongylus edentatus ve Triodontophorus sp. larvaları sırasıyla %49, %17, %3, %3 ve % 1 oranlarında bulunmuştur. Strongylus equinus larvası tespit edilememiştir. Öneri: Beş çiftliğin herbirindeki atlar Trichonema sp. ve Poteriostomum sp. ile enfekte idi. S. vulgaris yumurtaları iki çiftlikte bulunurken, S. edentatus ve Triodontophorus sp. yumurtaları sadece bir çiftliğin atlarında görülmüştür. Trematod, cestod yu-murtaları ve Dictyocaulus arnaieldi larvaları tespit edilmemiştir. Küçük strongylidler ve çok az sayıda büyük strongylidler atların mide bağırsak helmint enfeksiyonlarına sebep olan temel parazitlerdir.

Prevalence of helminths in horses raised in Konya Province

Aim: This study was carried out to estimate the prevalence ofhelminth species in horses raised in Konya region of Turkey.Materials and Methods: One hundred adult horses of varyingage, gender and breed from five randomly chosen farms weresampled. Fresh fecal samples were taken between February andMarch 2016 and examined by flotation, Benedek's Sedimentationand Baermann Wetzel technique and, strongylid eggs weredetected, and then subsequent larval culture was performed.Results: The overall prevalences of egg excretion were 49% forCyatostomins, 12% for Parascaris equorum and 2% for Oxyurisequi. On all five farms, at least one horse shed strongylid eggs,while P. equorum and O. equi eggs were excreted by horses fromfour and two farms, respectively. Harvested larvae from sampleswith strongylid eggs were subsequently differentiated morphologically.Larvae of Trichonema sp., Poteriostomum sp., S. vulgaris,S. edentatus and Triodontophorus sp. were found withoverall prevalence of 49%, 17%, 3%, 3% and 1%, respectively.Larvae of Strongylus equinus were not found.Conclusion: On each of the five farms horses were infectedwith Trichonema sp. and Poteriostomum sp. S. vulgaris eggswere excreted by horses of two farms, while infections with S.edentatus or Triodontophorus sp. were only seen in horses onone farm. Neither trematode nor cestode eggs nor larvae ofDictyocaulus arnaieldi could be detected. Small strongyles andto a much lesser extent large strongyles are the main gastro intestinalhelminthic infections of horses in Konya region.
