Abstract

Toxocara genus has important risk for public health, and is a concern for both human and veterinary medicine. Toxocara vitulorum is the largest nematode for cattle and infests the small intestines of water buffalo, bison, and cattle living in tropical and subtropical regions with humid climates. The objective of the present study is to investigate the prevalence of Toxocara vitulorum in calves in Siirt province of Turkey. This study was carried out in the Siirt province, located in the Southeast Anatolian region. The animal material of the study consisted of a total of 100 calves of ages up to 6 months. Stool samples were collected directly from the rectum using disposable latex gloves, after which they were placed in individual stool containers. Samples brought to the laboratory were stored at +4 °C until analysis. Fülleborne's salty water flotation technique was applied to stool samples. The samples were then evaluated under a light microscope.As a result of the inspections, a positivity rate of 7% (7/100) was detected in the samples examined for Toxocara vitulorum by microscopic method. As a result of this study, the prevalence of the disease in Siirt province was revealed, and considering the losses caused by the infection, it was concluded that the disease should not be neglected. Farmers should be informed about the disease and appropriate treatment options for it.

Abstract

Toxocara genusu, beşerî ve veteriner halk sağlığı açısından önemli olan nematodları içermektedir. Bunlardan Toxocara vitulorum sığırların en büyük nematodu olup, nemli iklime sahip, tropik ve subtropik bölgelerde, sığır, manda ve bizonların ince bağırsaklarında yaşamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Siirt ilindeki buzağılarda Toxocara vitulorum prevalansının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışma Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesinde yer alan Siirt ilinde gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın hayvan materyalini 6 aylık yaşa kadar olan toplam 100 buzağı oluşturdu. Dışkı numuneleri tek kullanımlık lateks eldiven kullanılarak doğrudan rektumdan alınıp bireysel dışkı kaplarına konuldu. Laboratuvara getirilen dışkı örnekleri +4 °C'de saklandı. Dışkı örneklerine Fülleborne'un tuzlu su yüzdürme tekniği uygulandı. Daha sonra örnekler ışık mikroskobu altında incelendi ve %7 (7/100) pozitiflik oranı tespit edildi. Bu çalışma sonucunda hastalığın Siirt ilindeki prevalansı ortaya konulmuş olup, enfeksiyonun meydana getirdiği kayıplar göz önüne alındığında, hastalığın ihmal edilmemesi gerektiği, çiftçilerin hastalık ve uygun tedavi seçenekleri hakkında bilgilendirilmesi gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
