Seroprevalence of Dirofilaria immitis, Ehrlichia canis and Borrelia burgdorferi in dogs in Iğdır province, Turkey

Bu çalışma ile Iğdır yöresinde sahipli 100 köpekten elde edilen serumlarda Snap 3dx kiti kullanılarak Dirofilaria immitis antijenine %40, Ehrlichia canis antikoruna %1 oranında rastlanmış, Borrelia burgdorferi antikoru ise saptanamamıştır. Köpeklerin 22si (22%) kenelerle enfeste bulunmuştur. Köpeklerden toplanan 42 adet kenenin 9unun dişi, 33ünün erkek olduğu görülmüştür. Kenelerin %76.2sinin (32/42) R. sanguineus ve %23.8inin (10/42) Rhipicephalus spp. türü olduğu belirlenmiştir. Iğdır yöresinde potansiyel vektörlerin (sivrisinek ve kene) yaygınlığı da göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, dirofilariosis ve ehrlichiosis vakalarıyla sıklıkla karşılaşılabileceği kanısına varılmıştır.

Iğdır yöresinde köpeklerde Dirofilaria immitis, Ehrlichia canis ve Borrelia burgdorferinin seroprevalansının araştırılması

In this study, by using a Snap3dx test kit, 100 dogs sera were examined. Dirofilaria immitis infection was detected in 40 dogs (40%) and Ehrlichia canis antibodies were present in just 1 dog (1%), Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies were not detected in the test. Twenty-two of dogs (22%) are infested with ticks. A total of 42 ticks, 9 of female and 33 of male, were collected from dogs. Ticks collected from dogs were R. sanguineus 76.2% (32/42) and 23.8% of them (10/42) were Rhipicephalus spp. Considering the prevalence of potential vectors (mosquitoes and ticks), it is concluded that dirofilariosis and ehrlichiosis cases are often encountered in Iğdır province.
