Abstract

Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Parazitoloji Laboratuvarına getirilen, trafik kazasında ölmüş bir erkek porsuk parazitolojik açıdan sistematik olarak incelenmiştir. Parazitolojik inceleme sonucu porsuğun üç ektoparazit ve üç endoparazit türü ile enfekte olduğu saptandı. Ektoparazit olarak bir pire (Paraceras melis) ve iki kene türü (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus), endoparazit olarak bir sestod (Mesocestoides melesi) ve iki nematod türü (Aonchotheca putorii, Molineus patens) belirlendi. Türkiye’de parazitlerin tümü için porsuk yeni konak, M. melesi ise Türkiye faunası için ilk bildirimdir.

Parasites found in a Eurasian badger (Meles meles)

Abstract

A male badger (Meles meles) died in a traffic accident admitted to the Parasitology Lab of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Ondokuz Mayıs University was examined systemically. Parasitological examination revealed that the badger was infected with 3 ectoparasites and 3 endoparasites. Following ectoparasites were detected; one flea (Paraceras melis) and two ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and as endoparasites one cestode (Mesocestoides melesi) and two nematode species (Aonchotheca putorii, Molineus patens). Badger is a new host for all parasites in Turkey, while M. melesi is the first report for the helminth fauna of Turkey.
