Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Echinococcus spp. in stray dogs in Van province by copro-antigen ELISA. Fecal samples were obtained from 150 dogs. Firstly, it was examined for Taenia spp. eggs by zinc sulphate flotation technique. After that presence of Echinococcus spp. coproantigens was examined by coproantigen ELISA test using a commercial coproantigen ELISA kit (Combined kit) (COMBINED BIOTECH CO., LTD, Shenzhen, P. R. China). 15.3% of the dogs were infected with Taenia spp. The prevalence of Echinococcus spp. coproantigen in dogs was 29.3%. In the fecal examination, dogs were also found to be infected with Toxascaris leonina (13.3%), Toxocara canis (11.3%), Ancylostoma caninum (2.6%) and Trichuris vulpis (0.6%). This study is the first to investigate of Echinococcus spp. in dogs in Van using the coproantigen ELISA technique.

Abstract
Bu çalışma, Van ilinde sokak köpeklerinde Echinococcus spp.’nin yayılışını koproantijen ELISA yöntemi ile tesbit etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Toplam 150 köpek dışkısı önce Taenia spp. yumurtaları yönünden çinko sülfat flotasyon metoduyla muayene edilmiştir. Dışkı örneklerinde Echinococcus spp.’nin koproantijenlerinin varlığı ticari bir koproantijen ELISA kiti kullanılarak (Combined kit) (COMBINED BIOTECH CO., LTD, Shenzhen, P. R. China) incelenmiştir. Köpeklerin % 15.3’ünün Taenia spp. ile enfekte olduğu tespit edildi. Köpeklerde Echinococcus spp’nin. koproantijen prevalansı % 29.3 oranında bulundu. Dışkı muayenesinde köpeklerin Taenia spp. haricinde Toxascaris leonina (% 13.3), Toxocara canis (% 11.3), Ancylostoma caninum (% 2.6) ve Trichuris vulpis (% 0.6) ile de enfekte olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışma Van’da köpeklerde Echinococcus spp.’nin koproantijen ELISA tekniği ile araştırıldığı ilk çalışmadır.
