The prevalence of helminth infections in water buffaloes in the vicinity of Afyonkarahisar province

Amaç: Bu çalışma Afyonkarahisar civarı mandalarında helmint enfeksiyonlarının durumunun belirlenmesi amacıyla yapıldı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Toplam 517 mandadan alınan dışkı örnekleri helmintolojik açıdan incelendi, 20 mandanın organ muayenesi yapıldı ve helmintolojik açıdan değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Çalışma süresince dışkı bakısı yapılan mandalarda enfeksiyon oranı %7.93 tespit edildi. Hastalıktan sorumlu 2 trematod ve 1 nematod olduğu gözlendi, ancak miks enfeksiyona rastlanmadı. Mandalarda trematod ve nematod enfeksiyonu sırasıyla %6.67 ve %1.16 olarak belirlenirken, sestod enfeksiyonuna rastlanmadı. Diğer yandan organ muayenesi yapılan mandalarda enfeksiyon oranının %20 olduğu tespit edildi. Hastalıktan sorumlu türlerin 2 trematod ve 1 sestod olduğu görüldü.Öneriler: Genel olarak enfeksiyon oranları düşük olmakla birlikte çeşitli helmint parazitlerin mandalarda enfeksiyona neden olduğu gözlenmiştir. Enfeksiyon oranının düşük olmasının hayvan refahı ve çiftlik yönetimi konusunda bilincin artmasının yanı sıra yörede çiftlik hayvanlarına yönelik yoğun antelmentik kullanımından kaynaklanabileceği kanaatine varılmıştır.

Afyonkarahisar civarı mandalarında bulunan helmintlerin yayılışı

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of helminth infections in water buffaloes raised in the vicinity of Afyonkarahisar province.Material and Methods: Faecal samples, collected from a total of 517 buffaloes, were examined helminthologically. Furthermore, organ examination was performed in 20 water buffaloes for the presence of helminths.Results: The prevalence of helminth infection in the water buffaloes sampled for faeces throughout the study was determined as 7.93%. Faecal examination revealed the presence of 2 trematodes and 1 nematode in the infected cases, but mixed helminth infections were not encountered. In water buffaloes, the prevalence of trematode and nematode infections was ascertained as 6.67% and 1.16%, respectively, whilst no cestode infection was detected. On the other hand, the prevalence of helminth infection in the water buffaloes subjected to organ examination was ascertained as 20%. The parasitic agents involved in the infected cases included 2 trematodes and the larval stage of 1 cestode.Conclusions: In general, it was observed that the rate of infection was low, yet animals were infected with various helminth species. The infection rates of the animals being low was attributed to the increased level of awareness of the farmers on animal welfare and farm management, as well as to the high level of use of anthelmintics in the region against common parasites of cattle and water buffaloes.
