A case of pentastomum denticulatum ınfection in goats

Bu makalede, keçilerde Pentastomum denticulatum infeksiyonu olgusu tanımlanmıştır. 2007 yılının Ağustos ayında, Rusçuk bölgesinde (Kuzey Bulgaristan), 30 keçiden oluşan sürü içinde, iştah azalması, depresyon, aşırı zayıflama, yatma ve süt veriminin azalmasını içeren non-spesifik klinik belirtiler gözlemlendi. Antibiyotik tedavisi yapılmasına rağmen keçilerden üç tanesi öldü. Nekropsilerinde, karaciğer, akciğer ve mezenterik lenf düğümlerinin içinde beyaz parazitleri içeren küçük sarı-beyaz oval kistler görüldü. Parazitler (toplam sayı - 30) mikroskobik olarak incelenerek Linguatula serrata’nın larva evresindeki Pentastomum denticulatum olarak saptandı.

Keçilerde pentastomum denticulatum infeksiyonu olgusu

A case of Pentastomum denticulatum infection in goats was described. In August 2007, in a herd of 30 goats, in the region of Rousse (North Bulgaria), there were observed non-specific clinical signs: reduced appetite, depression, emaciation, lying down, and decreased milk secretion. Despite antibiotic therapy 3 of the goats died. A necropsy was performed and small, yellow-white oval cysts with a white parasite inside were established in liver, lungs and mesenteric lymph nodes. The parasites (total number - 30) were examined microscopically and determined as Pentastomum denticulatum – larval stage of Linguatula serrata.
