Van yöresi köpeklerinde Dirofilaria immitis'in seroprevalansı

Çalısmada Van Yöresi köpeklerinde Dirofilaria immitis’in seroprevalansının belirlenmesi amacıyla yasları 1 ay ile 4 yas arasında degisen, farklı ırklardan 67’si sahipli, 34’ü sahipsiz (sokak köpegi) olmak üzere toplam 101 köpek (52 erkek, 49 disi) kullanıldı. Köpeklerden kan örnekleri alındı, serumları çıkarıldı ve serolojik test yapılana kadar -20 oC de saklandı. Kan serumunda D. immitis antijenlerinin varlıgı ELISA kitleri kullanılarak saptandı. Toplam 101 köpegin 18’inin (%17.8) D. immitis antijenleri tasıdıgı saptandı. Sahipli köpeklerin 7’sinin (% 10.4), sahipsiz köpeklerin ise 11’inin (%32.3) D. immitis yönünden seropozitif oldugu ve sokak köpeklerinde enfeksiyon oranının sahipli köpeklere göre daha yüksek (P

Seroprevalance of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs in Van district

The aim of this study was to determine seroprevalance of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs in Van district. The study involved a total of 101 dogs aged between 1 month and 4 years old and were of both sexes (52 male and 49 female) and different breed. Of the dogs 67 were owned and 34 were stray dogs. All dogs were blood sampled for determination of D. immitis antigen using a commercial ELISA kit. A total of 18 (17.8%) were found positive. Seven of the owned dogs (10.4%) and 11 of the stray dogs (32.3%) were seropositive for D. immitis. The proportion of seropositive stray dos was higher than that of owned dogs (P
