Abstract

Theileria T türlerinin yaygın olarak sığırları enfekte etttikleri bilinmesine rağmen T. ovis ve T. hirci hayvanların eritrositlerinde nadir olarak teşhis edilmektedir. Ancak bölgemizde koyunlarda theileriozis'in varlığı daha önce rapor edilmemiştir. Bu çalışmanın materyalini Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Hayvan Hastanesine getirilen koyunlar oluşturdu. Kan ve lenf sıvısından frotiler yapılarak hastalığın teşhisi konuldu. Bu çalışmada incelenen toplam 9 koyundan 2 koyun sadece theileriozisle, 1 koyun hem theileriozis hem de babeziozisle, 1 koyun hem theileriozis hem de anaplazmozisle, 5 koyunun ise theileria, babesia ve anaplazma ile enfekte oldukları teşhis edildi. Teşhis edilen türler T. hirci, Babesia ovis ve Anaplasma ovis olarak belirlendi. Hastalığın erken dönemi hariç babeziozisin de bulunduğu vakalarda hemoglobinuri de mevcuttu. Theileriozisin bulunduğu tüm hayvanlarda lenf yumruları büyümüştü. Enfekte hayvanların üzerinden toplanan kene türleri ise Rhipicephalus R bursa, R. sanguineus, R. turanicus ve Hyalomma H anatolicum excavatum olarak teşhis edildi

Theileriosis in sheep in the region of Van: Clinical and haematological findings, diagnosis, treatments and transmitters

Abstract

T. ovis and T. hirci have rarely been diagnosed in the erythrocytes of sheep although, Theileria T spp commonly known to infect cattle. However, presence of theileriosis in sheep in this region has not been reported before. In the present study, animal materials used were the sheep brought to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of Yüzüncü Yıl. Blood smears and smears from lymph nodes were made for diagnosis. In the present study, two sheep had theileriosis alone, 1 had both theileriosis and babesiosis, I had both theileriosis and anaplasmosis and 5 had ali theileriosis, babesiosis and anaplasmosis together being a total of 9 sheep. Diagnosed species were T. hirci, Babesia B ovis, and Anaplasma A ovis. Haemoglobunuria was present in the animals that had also babesiosis except those in the early stages. Lymph nodes were also swollen in the sheep that had theileriosis. Tick species seen on the infected animals were Rhipicephalus R bursa, R. sanguineus, R. turanicus and Hyalomma H anatolicum excavatum
