Türkiye'de Asya Porsuğu Meles canescens (Carnivora, Mustelidae)'te Trichodectes melis'in İlk Tespiti

Bu makale, Trichodectes melis'in Türkiye'den ilk bildirim olması nedeniyle hazırlanmıştır. Çalışma materyalini Kafkas Üniversitesi Yaban Hayatı Koruma, Kurtarma, Rehabilitasyon, Araştırma ve Uygulama Merkezi'ne getirilen dişi bir Asya porsuğu oluşturmuştur. Porsuk ektoparazit varlığı yönünden incelenmiştir. Bit örnekleri birkaç gün %70 etanol içinde bekletilmiş, laktofenol içinde şeffaflandırılmış, Kanada balsamı ile lama sabitlenmiş ve mikroskop altında incelenmiştir. Trichodectes melis olarak kaydedilen tüm bit örnekleri Türkiye'de bit faunası için ilk kayıttır.

First Report of Trichodectes melis (Phthiraptera, Trichodectidae) from the Eurasian Badger Meles canescens (Carnivora, Mustelidae) in Turkey

The study was performed to first report Trichodectes melis in Turkey. Research material was obtained from one female Eurasian badger brought to the Kafkas University, Wildlife Conservation, Recovery, Rehabilitation Research and Application Center. The badger was examined for the presence of ectoparasites. The lice specimens were preserved in a vial containing 70% ethanol, cleared in lactophenol for a few days, mounted on slides in the Canada balsam medium and examined under a microscope. All of specimens diagnosed as T. melis is the first record for ectoparasite fauna of Turkey.
