Abstract

Bu çalışma Corvidae ailesine bağlı Saksağan (Pica pica), Cüce karga (Corvus monedula), Ekin kargası (Corvus frugilegus) türü yabani kuşlarda gastrointestinal sistem helmintlerini tespit etmek için yapıldı. Bu amaçla Saksağan’dan 43, Cüce kargadan 40, Ekin kargasından 42 adet dışkı toplandı. Dışkılar sedimantasyon ve flotasyon yöntemleri ile incelendi. İnceleme sonucunda Saksağan'da %2.32 oranında Echinostoma spp., %6.97 oranında %6.97 oranında Capillaria spp., %2.32 oranında Syngamus spp., %6.97 oranında Raillietina spp., Cüce kargada %2.5 oranında Raillietina spp., %10 oranında Capillaria spp., Ekin kargasında %9.52 oranında Capillaria spp. türü helmint yumurtaları tespit edildi. Dışkı muayenelerinde yumurtalarını tespit ettiğimiz helmint türleri Pica pica, Corvus monedula ve Corvus frugilegus’da, Türkiye'de ilk kez bu çalışma ile bildirilmektedir.

Examination of Helminth Parasites in the Fecal Samples of Magpies (Pica pica), Jackdaws (Corvus monedula), and Rooks (Corvus frugilegus) in the Vicinities of Van Province/Turkey

Abstract

The present study was designed to examine helminths in the gastrointestinal tract of corvid species including Pica pica, Corvus frugilegus, and Corvus monedula. A total of 43 fecal samples were collected from Pica pica, 42 samples from Corvus frugilegus, and 42 samples from Corvus monedula species. Feces were analyzed using sedimentation and flotation methods. Echinostoma spp. (2.32%), Capillaria spp. (6.97%), Syngamus spp. (2.32%), and Raillietina spp. (6.97%) were detected in Pica pica, Raillietina spp. (2.5%) and Capillaria spp. (10.0%) were detected in Corvus monedula, and only Capillaria spp. (9.52%) were detected in Corvus frugilegus. To our knowledge, this is the first study in Turkey identifying these helminth species in the fecal samples of these bird species.
