Keneler, kan emerek parazitlik yapan ve birçok patojenik hastalık etkenini taşıyarak hem hayvanlar hem de insanlar için sağlık riski oluşturan önemli vektörlerdir. Türkiye, konumu, coğrafi yapısı, iklimi, habitat çeşitliliği ve hayvan çeşitliliği nedeniyle çok sayıda kene türüne ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Iğdır il merkezi ve ilçelerinde bulunan koyun, sığır ve keçilerdeki kene türlerinin sıklığını ve mevsimsel dağılımını incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. 2024 yılı boyunca, Iğdır il merkezi ve ilçelerinde sığır ve koyunlar kene enfestasyonu açısından incelenmiş ve yaşadıkları barınaklar da kontrol edilmiştir. Toplamda 1.483 hayvandan elde edilen 1.050 kene örneği toplanmış ve %70 etil alkol içeren tüplere transfer edilmiştir. Ardından bu örnekler, Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Parazitoloji Araştırma Laboratuvarına gönderilmiş ve burada türler, stereo mikroskop kullanılarak morfolojik özelliklerine göre ilgili literatüre uygun olarak tanımlanmıştır. İncelenen kenelerin %57,52'si dişi ve %42,48'i erkektir. Aşağıdaki kene türleri tespit edilmiştir: Rhipicephalus turanicus (%33), Rhipicephalus bursa (%21,6), Hyalomma a. anatolicum (%17,2), Hyalomma a. excavatum (%20,2), Hyalomma scupense (%3,6), Ixodes ricinus (%0,7), Hyalomma sulcata (%1,5), Hyalomma punctata (%0,4) ve Dermacentor niveus (%1,8). Bunlar arasında Rhipicephalus cinsi (%54,6) en yaygın olanıdır. Çalışmada tespit edilen kene türleri değerlendirildiğinde, Rhipicephalus türlerinin Mayıs ve Temmuz ayları arasında en fazla görüldüğü bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, insan sağlığı için risk teşkil eden Crimean-Congo Kanamalı Ateşi virüsünün vektörleri olarak bilinen Hyalomma ve Rhipicephalus kene türlerinin tespiti önemlidir. Bu verilerin, bu ilde yapılacak gelecekteki çalışmalara değerli bir referans oluşturacağına inanıyoruz.

Distribution of Tick Species Collected from Cattle, Sheep, and Goats in Iğdır Province, in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey

Öz

Ticks are important vectors that pose a risk to both animal and human health because they parasitize by sucking blood and transmitting many pathogenic disease agents. Turkey harbors a large number of tick species due to its location, geographical structure, climate, habitat richness, and animal diversity. This study was designed to investigate the frequency and seasonal distribution of tick species found in sheep, cattle, and goats in the center and districts of Iğdır. Bovine and ovine animals were examined for tick infestation between January and December 2024 in the center and districts of Iğdır, and the shelters where they lived were also examined. A total of 1,050 tick samples obtained from 1,483 animals were collected and transferred to tubes containing 70% ethyl alcohol. Subsequently, these samples were sent to the Parasitology Research Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, where the species were identified based on their morphological characteristics using a stereo microscope, in accordance with the relevant literature. Of the ticks examined, 57.52% were female and 42.48% were male. The following tick species were detected: Rhipicephalus turanicus (33%), Rhipicephalus bursa (21.6%), Hyalomma a. anatolicum (17.2%), Hyalomma a. excavatum (20.2%), Hyalomma scupense (3.6%), Ixodes ricinus (0.7%), Hyalomma sulcata (1.5%), Hyalomma punctata (0.4%), and Dermacentor niveus (1.8%). Among these, ticks belonging to the Rhipicephalus genus (54.6%) were the most common. When the tick species detected in the study were evaluated, Rhipicephalus species were found to be most prevalent between May and July. Additionally, the detection of Hyalomma and Rhipicephalus tick species, which are known vectors of the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus that poses a risk to human health, is important. We believe that this data will serve as a valuable reference for future studies to be conducted in this province.
