Seroprevalence and economic significance of hypodermosis in cattle in Diyarbakır province

Amaç: Bu çalışma Türkiye'nin güneydoğu bölgesinde yer alan Diyarbakır ilinde sığır hypodermosis'in seroprevalansını ve neden olduğu ekonomik kaybı ortaya koymak için yürültülmüştür. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmanın yapıldığı Kasım 2012 and Ekim 2013 tarihleri arasında Diyarbakır ilinde toplam 650 sığırdan serum örneği toplandı.Bulgular: İncelenen toplam 650 serum örneğinden 236 (%36.6)'sında hypoderma antikorları için seropozitiflik tespit edildi. Çalışmada en yüksek seropozitiflik il merkezinde (%45.5) tespit edilirken, dişilerde (%37) belirlenen seropozitiflik erkeklerden (%33.3) daha yüksek oranda belirlendi. En yüksek seropozitiflik beş yaş üzeri (%41.6) hayvanlarda tespit edilirken, yerli ırklarda (%48.8) belirlenen seropositiflik oranı diğer ırklardan daha yüksek olarak tespit edildi. Hastalığın deride meydana getirdiği yılık tahmini ekonomik kaybın 101.310 TL olduğu belirlendi.

Diyarbakır ilinde sığırlarda hypodermosisin seroprevalansı ve ekonomik önemi

Aim: The aim of present study was to investigate the seroprevalence and economic significance of hypodermosis in cattles in the Diyarbakır province located in the southeast part of Turkey. Meterials and Methods: Serum samples were collected from 650 randomly selected cattle in Diyarbakır province between November 2012 and October 2013. Results: 236 (36.6%) out of 650 serum samples were seropositive for Hypoderma antibodies. It was shown that the highest detected seropositivity rate was in central distinct and that seropositivity rate was higher in females (37%) compared to the male animals (33.3%). Moreover, the seropositivity rates were higher in native (48.8%) compared to the other breeds and in animals older than 5 years (41.6%) compared to younger animals. The estamined economic loss due to the damaged hides was 101.310 Turkish Lira per year (47.563 United States Dollars). Conclusion: It may be stated that hypodermosis is widespread in the region and it causes substantial economic loss in the hides sector.
