Bir grup Pica pica’da (Passeriformes: Corvidae) posmortem bulgular

Abstract

Saksağan (Corvidae: Pica pica), Türkiye’nin kırsal ve şehirleşmiş alanlarında yaygın olarak bulunan bir kuş türüdür. Bu
kuşlar şehirleşmiş alanlarda bulunduklarından dolayı, evcil hayvanlar ve insanlarla ilişkili bazı enfeksiyöz etkenleri taşıma
potansiyeline sahip olabilmektedir. Bu durumu belirlemek için, bir yıl süresince tıbbi bakıma muhtaç bir halde hayvan hastanesine
getirilen sekiz adet saksağan, iç parazitler ve bakteriler yönünden muayene edilmiştir. Yapılan nekropside iç parazitik, sitolojik ve
mikrobiyal muayeneyi takiben, ilave olarak ilgili organlarda histopatolojik muayeneler de yapılmıştır. Nekropsiler sonucunda, iki
helmint ve bir protozoondan oluşan üç tür parazit (sırasıyla Passerilepis sp., Brachylaima sp. ve Isospora rochalimai) teşhis edilmiş
ve beş tür bakteri izole edilmiştir (Staphylococcus xylosus, S. sciuri, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella spp.).
Histopatolojide subakut fokal mikotik pnömoni, kronik nonpurulent granulomatöz gastroenteritis, verminöz enteritis ve karaciğerde
paratifoid nodüllerin varlığı gözlenmiştir. Belirlenen bu enfeksiyöz etkenler, diğer hayvanlar ve insanlar için potansiyel bir
kontaminasyon kaynağı teşkil edebilmektedir. Tespit edilen tüm parazit ve bakteriler, Türkiye’nin yabani kuşlarının helmint ve bakteri
faunası için ilk defa bildirilmektedir.

Postmortem findings on a group of Pica pica (Passeriformes: Corvidae)

Abstract

Common magpies (Corvidae: Pica pica) distribute through rural and urban areas of Turkey. Because of their
distribution in urbanised regions, magpies may have some potential infectious agents which may relate to domestic animals and
humans. In this study, eight common magpies brought to the animal hospital in need of medical intervention were examined for endo-
parasites and bacteria in a one-year period. Additionally, histopathologic examinations with related organs were carried out along with
endo-parasitical, cytological and microbial examination the following necropsy. As results of the necropsies, three parasite species
including two helminths and one protozoan (Passerilepis sp., Brachylaima sp., Isospora rochalimai, respectively) were identified,
while Staphylococcus xylosus, S. sciuri, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella spp. were isolated after microbiological
examination. Histopathology revealed that subacute focal mycotic pneumonia, chronic nonpurulent granulomatous gastroenteritis,
verminous enteritis, and the presence of paratyphoid nodules in liver. Both of the parasites and bacteria are the first records for Turkey’s
helminth/bacterial fauna in wild birds.
