Van Büyükşehir Belediyesi Hayvan Barınağındaki Köpeklerde Bulunan Pirelerin Prevalansı

Öz

Bu çalışma Van ili Büyükşehir Belediyesi Hayvan Barınağı’na getirilen sahipsiz 318 köpekte bulunan pirelerin prevelansını tespit etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Köpeklerden elde edilen pire enfestasyon oranları belirlenmiş ve toplanan veriler konağın enfestasyon durumu ve cinsiyet gibi değişkenlere göre değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada muayenesi yapılan köpeklerden elde edilen pire enfestasyon oranı %46.86 (149/318) olmak üzere, dört pire türü tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen türler; Ctenocephalides canis (%25.12), Ctenocephalides felis (%19.18), Pulex irritans (%11.06) ve Ceratophyllus gallinea (%3.46)’dir. Tek tür ile enfestasyon oranı; C. canis %16.98, C. felis % 11.64, P. irritans %5.35 ve Ceratophyllus gallinea %2.52 iken, aynı anda iki tür ile enfestasyon oranı; C. canis + C. felis %3.77, C. canis + P. irritans %2.20, C. felis + P. irritans %1.89, C. canis + Ceratophyllus gallinea %0.63 ve C. felis + Ceratophyllus gallinea %0.31’dir. Aynı anda üç tür ile enfestasyon oranı ise C. canis + C. felis + P. irritans %1.57 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan istatistiksel analizler sonucunda pire türlerine göre enfestasyon oranları arasında önemli bir farklılık bulunmasına karşın, pire türü ile cinsiyet arasında anlamlı bir ilişkiye rastlanmamıştır. Pireler çeşitli hastalıklara ara konaklık yapmaları sebebiyle gerek hayvan sağlığı gerekse halk sağlığı açısından önemlidir. Çalışmada elde edilen bulguların özelikle tıp ve veteriner hekimlik hizmetleri alanında yapılan çalışmalara önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Prevalence of Fleas on Dogs in Van Metropolitan Municipality Animal Shelter

Öz

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of fleas in 318 stray dogs brought to the Van Province Metropolitan Municipality Animal Shelter. Flea infestation rates obtained from dogs were determined and the collected data were evaluated according to variables such as the infestation status of the host and gender. Four flea species were identified in the study, with a flea infestation rate of 46.86% (149/318) in the dogs examined. Among the species identified; Ctenocephalides canis was detected as 25.12%, Ctenocephalides felis as 19.18%, Pulex irritans as 11.06% and Ceratophyllus gallinea as 3.46%. Infestation rate with a single species; while C. canis was detected at 16.98%, C. felis at 11.64%, P. irritans at 5.35% and Ceratophyllus gallinea at 2.52%, the infestation rate with two species was; C. canis + C. felis 3.77%, C. canis + P. irritans 2.20%, C. felis + P. irritans was found to be 1.89%, C. canis + Ceratophyllus gallinea 0.63% and C. felis + Ceratophyllus gallinea 0.31%. The infestation rate with three species at the same time, C. canis + C. felis + P. irritans, was determined as 1.57%. As a result of the statistical analysis, although there was a significant difference in infestation rates according to flea species, no significant relationship was found between flea species and gender. Fleas are important for both animal and public health as they serve as intermediate hosts for various diseases. It is thought that the findings obtained in the study will make significant contributions to studies, especially in the field of medicine and veterinary services.
