Faecal samples from 603 calves in 22 different villages of Afyonkarahisar province of Turkey were randomly collected and examined for the presence of T. vitulorum eggs using the Fülleborn saturated saltwater flotation method. A total of five of 603 calves (0.83%) were found to be infected with T. vitulorum. All of the faeces infected with T. vitulorum belonged to animals between 0-6 months of age. The prevalence of the infection in males was 0.97% and 0.68% in females. There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of Toxocara vitulorum by either breed or gender (P&amp;gt; 0.05).</p></abstract>

Afyonkarahisar&#039;da sığır yetiştiriciliği yapılan ve rastgele seçilen 22 farklı köyden, değişik ırk, yaş ve cinsiyette toplam 603 hayvana ait dışkı örnekleri Fülleborn Doymuş Tuzlu Su Flotasyon yöntemi ile T. vitulorum yumurtalarının varlığı açısından incelenmiştir. Dışkı muayenesi yapılan 603 hayvanın beşinin (%0.83) dışkısında T. vitulorum yumurtaları görülmüştür. Toxocara vitulorum yönünden pozitif bulunan dışkıların tamamının 0-6 aylık hayvanlara ait olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Erkeklerde hastalığın yaygınlığı %0.97 dişilerde ise %0.68 olarak belirlenmiştir. Toxocara vitulorum&#039;un yaygınlığında ırk ve cinsiyetler açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir (P&amp;gt;0.05).</p></trans-abstract>
