Abstract



This study was conducted for
determining the relation between climatic factors and Aranciocystis muskarensis (Neogregarinida: Ophryocystidae)
infection in Anisoplia segetum
(Herbst) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). The samples were collected from April to
July in different provinces of Turkey and 3780 A. segetum beetles were dissected and examined with the light
microscope in 2016. Infection was detected only in Nevşehir, Konya, Aksaray and
Osmaniye provinces. The highest infection rate was seen in Nevşehir with
18.53%. The correlation coefficient data indicated that the positive
correlation was observed between humidity and A. muskarensis infection (r = 0.618, P<0.05). Multiple
regressions analysis revealed that A.
muskarensis
infection formation in A.
segetum
was determined in 90.8% rate by climatic factors and the other
variables (R Square = 0.908) and the most influential factor on infection was
humidity (t=2.386).

Türkiye'de Anisoplia segetum Herbst (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Popülasyonlarında Aranciocystis muskarensis (Neogregarinida: Ophryocystidae) Dağılımı ve İklim Faktörleri İle İlişkisi

Abstract



Bu
çalışma, Anisoplia segetum (Herbst)
(Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) da ki Aranciocystis
muskarensis
(Neogregarinida: Ophryocystidae) enfeksiyonu ile iklim
koşulları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacı ile yürütülmüştür. Örnekler,
Nisan-Temmuz ayları arasında Türkiye’nin farklı illerinden toplanmış ve 2016
yılı boyunca ışık mikroskobu kullanılarak 3780 A. segetum bireyi disekte edilip incelenmiştir. Enfeksiyon sadece
Nevşehir, Konya, Aksaray ve Osmaniye illerinde tespit edilmiştir. En yüksek
enfeksiyon oranı %18,53 ile Nevşehir de görülmüştür. Yapılan analizler
sonucunda korelasyon katsayısı verileri, nem ile A. muskarensis enfeksiyonu arasında pozitif korelasyon bulunduğunu
göstermiştir (r = 0.618, P <0.05). Yapılan çoklu regresyon analizi A. segetum da meydana gelen A. muskarensis enfeksiyon oluşumunun
%90,8 oranında iklim faktörleri ve diğer değişkenler (R = 0.908) tarafından
belirlendiğini ve enfeksiyon üzerindeki en etkili faktörün nem olduğunu (t =
2.386) ortaya koymuştur.
