Öz

Araştırma, İzmir Körfezi'ndeki akivadeslerde (Ruditapes decussatus L.) Toxoplasma gondii ve Cryptosporidium parvum ookistlerinin alımına ve birikimine odaklanmıştır. T. gondii ve C. parvum ookistlerinin moleküler tespiti geleneksel PCR yöntemiyle yapıldı. İncelenen 120 havuzda C. parvum'un pozitiflik oranı %3,33, T. gondii'nin ise %4,16 olarak bulundu. İstatistiksel analiz, C.parvum'un aylık pozitiflik oranı ile akivades uzunluğu arasında hafif pozitif bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya çıkardı. Ancak akivades uzunluğu ile T. gondii'nin aylık pozitiflik oranı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon tespit edilmedi. Temiz deniz suyunda kabuklu deniz ürünleri yetiştiriciliği, tüketimden önce arındırma ve T. gondii ve C. parvum gibi yeni ortaya çıkan enterik protozoan parazitlere yönelik testlerin eklenmesiyle sıkı gıda güvenliği kontrolü tavsiye edilmektedir.

Molecular Detection Of Toxoplasma gondii And Cryptosporidium parvum Oocysts Uptake By Carpet Shell Clams (Ruditapes decussatus L.) From İzmir Bay (Türkiye)

Abstract

The research focused on uptake and accumulation of Toxoplasma gondii and Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in carpet shell clams (Ruditapes decussatus L.) from İzmir Bay. Molecular identification of T. gondii and C. parvum oocysts was carried out by conventional PCR method. The rate of positiveness of C. parvum was 3.33 % and of T. gondii 4.16 % in 120 pools examined. Statistical analysis revealed slight positive correlation between the monthly rate of positiveness of C. parvum and the clam length. However no statistically significant correlation between clam length and T. gondii monthly rate of positiveness was detected. Shellfish farming in non polluted seawater, depuration before consumption and strict food safety control for emerging enteric protozoan parasites such as T. gondii and C. parvum are recommended.
