Kızıl geyiklerde (Cervus elaphus) Elaphostrongylus cervi (Cameron, 1931): Türkiye’de İlk Kayıt

Öz

Bu çalışma Haziran-Temmuz 2020 tarihleri arasında Eskişehir Çatacık Kızıl Geyik Üretim İstasyonu’ndaki Kızıl geyiklerde bulunan Elaphostrongylus cervi enfeksiyonunun varlığını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma alanında bulunan Kızıl geyik iz ve belirtilerinden hareket edilerek dışkı yoğunluğunun bulunduğu yerlerden hayvanlara ait 32 taze dışkı toplanmıştır. Dışkı örnekleri cestod halkaları yönünden makroskobik olarak, sedimentasyon, doymuş tuzlu su flotasyon ve Baermann Wetzel yöntemleri ile mikroskobik olarak incelenmiştir. Toplanan dışkıların hepsinde larvalara rastlanmıştır. Baerman tekniği ile elde edilen larvalar ilgili literatürlerden faydalanılarak tür düzeyinde teşhis edilmiştir. Yürütülen bu çalışmayla Kızıl geyiklerde teşhis edilen E. cervi ülkemizde ilk kayıttır. Bu sebeple Türkiye’de Kızıl Geyikler için değerli bir veri oluşturacaktır.

Elaphostrongylus cervi (Cameron, 1931) in Red deer (Cervus elaphus): First Record in Turkey

Öz

This study was carried out to determine the presence of Elaphostrongylus cervi infection found in Red deer at Eskişehir Catacık Red Deer Production Station between June-July 2020. Based on the red deer traces and signs in the study area, 32 fresh faeces of animals were collected from the places where the faeces density was found. Stool samples were examined for cestode rings macroscopically, and microscopically by sedimentation, saturated salt flotation, and Baermann Wetzel methods. Larvae were found in all the collected faeces. The larvae obtained by the Baerman technique were identified at the species level using the relevant literature. E. cervi identified in red deer with this study is the first record in our country. Thus, it will provide valuable data for the red deer in Turkey.
