Kanaryalarda (Serinus canarius, Linnaeus) Isospora (I. canaria, Isospora sp.) Türleri

2002 yılının Mayıs ayından 2006 yılının Mayıs ayına kadar geçen dönemde, Elazığ yöresinde parazitolojik muayenesi yapılan 64 ishalli kanaryanın 18 (% 28,1)’inin dışkısında Isospora ookistleri tespit edildi. Sporogoni evresinden önce ve sonra mikroskopta morfolojik özellikleri incelenen ookistlerin Isospora canaria ve Isospora sp. oldukları anlaşıldı. Enfekte kanaryaların 8 (% 44,4)’inde her iki tür birlikteydi. Tek türle enfekte olan kanaryaların 7 (% 39)’sinde I. canaria, 3 (% 17)’ünde ise Isospora sp. tespit edildi. Isospora sp.’ye göre I. canaria ookistleri daha fazla sayıdaydı. Klinik semptomları şiddetli olan iki kanaryanın otopsisi yapıldı. Otopsisi yapılan hayvanların perifer kan frotileri ile karaciğer, akciğer ve dalak preparatları Atoxoplasma yönünden incelendi ve herhangi bir gelişme formuna rastlanmadı. Bu nedenle, bağırsak doku preparatlarında görülen gelişme formlarının Isospora’ya ait olduğu anlaşıldı. Türkiye’de kanaryalarda coccidiosis etkenlerinin tespiti ilk olarak bu çalışma ile ortaya konuldu.

Isospora species (I. canaria, Isospora sp.) in canaries (Serinus canarius, Linnaeus)

Of 64 canaries with diarrhea in Elazığ Province between May 2002 and May 2006, 18 (28.1%) had Isospora oocysts in their feces. It was determined that the oocysts, examined morphologically before and after sporulating, were Isospora canaria and Isospora sp. Among the infected animals, 8 (44.4%) were concurrently infected with both species. Total numbers of I. canaria oocysts were greater than those of Isospora sp. A total of 2 canaries showing severe clinical signs were necropsied. Liver, spleen, and lung preparations and peripheral blood smears of the necropsied animals were examined for Atoxoplasma, and no development forms were seen. For this reason it was concluded that the developing forms seen in intestinal tissue preparations belonged to Isospora. Determination of the coccidiosis agents in canaries in Turkey was first revealed with this study.
