Aksaray Malaklısı Çoban Köpeklerinde Ehrlichia Canis, Anaplasma Phagocytophilum, Borrelia Burgdorferi, Dirofilara İmmitis Enfeksiyonlarının Anlık Dağılımının Belirlenerek Hematolojik Bulguların Araştırılması

Enfeksiyöz hastalıklar hayvan sağlığı açısından büyük önem arz etmektedir. Ekonomik değeri olan hayvanlardaki hastalıklar yanında, diğer evcil hayvanlardaki enfeksiyöz hastalıklar da hem hayvan sağlığı hem de bazılarının zoonoz olmalarından dolayı önem taşımaktadır. Evcil hayvanlar içerisinde insanla en yakın ilişkisi olan köpeklerdeki enfeksiyöz hastalıklar üzerinde yapılan çok sayıda çalışma vardır. Köpeklerde hastalığa neden olan etkenler arasında Borrelia burgdorferi, Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum ve Dirofilaria immitis önemli yer tutmaktadır. Her dört etkende kene ve sinekler aracılığıyla nakledilmekte ve vektörlüklerini yapan kene ve sinek türlerine ülkemizde sıklıkla karşılaşılmaktadır. Yaptığımız bu sero-epidemiyolojik çalışmada her dört enfeksiyon etkeni olan B. burgdorferi, E. canis, A. phagocytophilum ve D. immitis yönünden 40 olgunun negatif (-) olduğunu tespit ettik; çalışmaya aldığımız 20 erkek ve 20 dişi köpeğin daha önceden kene ile enfeste olduğu anamnezi hasta sahiplerinden alınmıştı. Köpeklerin hematolojik incelemelerinde birçoğunun kan tablosunda eozinofili olduğu görüldü. Bu dört hastalığın bölgemizde olmaması ya da subklinik olarak seyretmediği kanısı oluşmuş olmakla birlikte % 64-97 duyarlılık ile çalışan test kitlerinin kesin tanı koymaması da mümkün olabilir. Bununla birlikte hastalıkların Aksaray ilinde olmadığı da düşünülebilir.

Investigation of Hematological Findings by Determining the Immediate Distribution of Infections of Ehrlichia Canis, Anaplasma Phagocytophilum, Borrelia Burgdorferi, Dirofilari immitis in Aksaray Malakli Dogs

Infectious diseases are very important in terms of animal health. In addition to economically important animals diseases infectious diseases of domestic animals (cats, dogs, some birds, etc), are related with animal health and human health in due to being zoonosis. There are many studies on the infections of dogs which are the closest friend to human. Among the reasons that cause disease in dogs are Borrelia burgdorferi, Ehrlichia canis, Dirofilaria immitis, Anaplasma phagocytophilium is the most important in the each of these four factors are transmitted through ticks and flies. Ticks and flies that are the vectoring species are frequently encountered in our country. In this sero-epidemiological study, we found that four of the four infectious agents (B. burgdorferi, E. canis, A. phagocytophilum and D. immitis) were negative (-) in 40 cases of; 20 males and 20 females were previously infected with ticks. Blood tests revealed that most of the hematological examinations of dogs revealed eosinophilia in the blood table. Although it is believed that these four diseases do not appear subclinically in our region or, 64-97% of the test kits working with specificity.
