Orta Anadolu ve Trakya'da Kızıl Tilkilerde (Vulpes vulpes) Dışkı Muayenesine Göre Bulunan Helmint Türleri

Kızıl tilkiler insanların yaşadığı alanlara yakın bölgelere adapte olmuş, dünyada en yoğun popülasyona sahip olan yabani karnivorlardır. Birçok helmint türü için sonkonak olan tilkilerde, zoonoz helmintler başta olmak üzere, çok sayıda araştırma yapıldığı görülür. Ülkemizde ise konu ile ilgili bilgi oldukça sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmada tilkilerde dışkı bakısıyla tespit ettiğimiz helmintlerin bildirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma süresince Orta Anadolu'yu temsilen Kayseri ve Nevşehir illerinden ve Trakya'yı temsilen Kırklareli, Tekirdağ ve Edirne illerinden toplanan 409 tilki dışkısı fuelleborn-flotasyon yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. İncelen örneklerin %65,8'inde 16 farklı helmint yumurta tipine rastlanmıştır; Dicrocoelid, diplostomid, echinostomid, heterophyid, anoplocephalid, Joyeuxiella sp., Mesocestoides sp., Taenia sp. Capillaria sp., rictularid, strongyl, strongyloid, Trichuris sp., Toxascaris leonina, ve Toxocara sp. Bu yumurtalardan trematodlar, taenid tip ve Toxocara sp. yumurtaları zoonotik önemlerinden dolayı ön plana çıkmıştır. Ayrıca Trichuris sp. tilkilerden ülkemizde ilk bildirim olmuştur.

Determination of Helminths of Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) by Fecal Examination in Middle Anatolia and Thrace

Red foxes, which are wild carnivores with the densest population in the world, live in areas close to where people live. There are numerous studies on parasites, especially about zoonotic helminths, in red foxes are definitive hosts for various parasite species. Limited numbered of researches have been conducted in Turkey. The purpose of this study was to investigate the helminths of red fox by fecal examination. In total, 409 fox feces were examined by fulleborne-flutation method and 16 different types of helminth eggs were detected on 65,8% of samples; Dicrocoelid, diplostomid, echinostomid, heterophyid, anoplocephalid, Joyeuxiella sp., Mesocestoides sp., Taenia sp. Capillaria sp., rictularid, strongyl, strongyloid, Trichuris sp., Toxascaris leonina, ve Toxocara sp. Trematod eggs, taenid type eggs and Toxocara sp. had more importance, because of their zoonotic importance. Additionally, Trichuris sp. was the first report from red foxes in Turkey.
