A total of 114 Oestrus ovis larvae were collected, including 87 (76.32%) first stage larvae, 25 (21.93%) second stage larvae and 2 (1.75%) third stage larvae from the regions given above.Öğe Chewing lice (Phthiraptera) found on songbirds (Passeriformes) in Turkey.(2011) Dik B.; Kirpik M.A.; Sekercioğlu C.; Saşmaz Y.This study was performed to detect chewing lice species found on the songbirds at Lake Kuyucuk bird ringing station in the Kars province located in eastern Turkey. Chewing lice were collected from songbirds captured between September and October 2009. Fifty-one birds belonging to 22 species and 16 genera from 10 families were examined for the louse. Eleven of 51 birds (21.57%) belonging to 7 species; were infested with at least one chewing louse species. The collected lice were identified as Menacanthus chrysophaeus (Kellogg, 1896) on Reed Bunting, Menacanthus pusillus (Nitzsch,1866) on Water Pipits, Calandra Lark and Yellow Wagtail, Myrsidea rustica (Giebel,1874) on Swallow, Brueelia cruciata (Burmeister,1838) on Red-backed Shrike, and Penenirmus rarus (Zlotorzycka,1976) on Chiffchaff. All four Reed Bunting specimens were infested with Menacanthus chrysophaeus. The rate of infestation was 100% in Reed Bunting, Red-backed Shrike and Swallow; 66.7% in Yellow Wagtail; 50% in Calandra Lark and Chiffchaff and 11.1% in Water Pipits. No louse infestation was found in the birds belonging to Paridae, Passeridae, Sylviidae, and Muscipapidae families. Menacanthus chrysophaeus on Reed Bunting and Menacanthus pusillus on Calandra Lark are new hosts for these lice species. All the louse species determined in the present study are first records for Turkey.Öğe Chewing lice (phthiraptera) found on wild birds in Turkey(Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2011) Dik B.; Erdoğdu Yamaç E.; Uslu U.This study was performed to detect chewing lice on some birds investigated in Eskişehir and Konya provinces in Central Anatolian Region of Turkey between 2008 and 2010 years. For this aim, 31 bird specimens belonging to 23 bird species which were injured or died were examined for the louse infestation. Firstly, the feathers of each bird were inspected macroscopically, all observed louse specimens were collected and then the examined birds were treated with a synthetic pyrethroid spray (Biyo avispray-Biyoteknik®). The collected lice were placed into the tubes with 70% alcohol and mounted on slides with Canada balsam after being cleared in KOH 10%. Then the collected chewing lice were identified under the light microscobe. Eleven out of totally 31 (35.48%) birds were found to be infested with at least one chewing louse species. Eighteen lice species were found belonging to 16 genera on infested birds. Thirteen of 18 lice species; Actornithophilus piceus piceus (Denny, 1842); Anaticola phoenicopteri (Coincide, 1859); Anatoecus pygaspis (Nitzsch, 1866); Colpocephalum heterosoma Piaget, 1880; C. polonum Eichler and Zlotorzycka, 1971; Fulicoffula lurida (Nitzsch, 1818); Incidifrons fulicia (Linnaeus, 1758); Meromenopon meropis Clay ve Meinertzhagen, 1941; Meropoecus meropis (Denny, 1842); Pseudomenopon pilosum (Scopoli, 1763); Rallicola fulicia (Denny, 1842); Saemundssonia lari Fabricius, O, 1780), and Trinoton femoratum Piaget, 1889 have been recorded from Turkey for the first time.Öğe Chewing lice (phthiraptera) species found on birds along the Aras River, Iğdır, eastern Turkey(Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2011) Dik B.; Şekercioğlu C.H.; Kirpik M.A.Chewing lice were sampled from the birds captured and ringed between September-October 2009 at the Aras River (Yukari{dotless} Çi{dotless}yri{dotless}kli{dotless}, Tuzluca, I?di{dotless}r) bird ringing station in eastern Turkey. Eighty-one bird specimens of 23 species were examined for lice infestation. All lice collected from the birds were placed in separate tubes with 70% alcohol.

Sixty-eight birds brought to the animal hospital in need of medical intervention, which belonged to 25 species, 20 genera and 15 families in 10 orders, were examined for ectoparasites. To sample for the presence of chewing lice, an insecticide was pulverised on the feathers of each bird over a white piece of paper, and then all of the lice were collected and placed in tubes containing 70% alcohol. The lice specimens were cleared in 10% KOH for 24. h, mounted in Canada balsam and identified using a light microscope. Forty (58.8%) out of 68 birds examined were infested with at least one species of chewing lice, and a total of 29 lice species were found on the birds. This study represents the first documentation in Turkey of 9 of these lice species and also provides the first worldwide record of Degeeriella nisus on the Common buzzard (Buteo buteo). © 2013 The Authors.Öğe Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera, Amblycera) of starlings (Sturnus vulgaris, L.) in Turkey(2009) Dik B.; Uslu U.; Derinbay Ekici O.; Işik N.This study was carried out in order to detect chewing lice species occurring on starlings (Sturnus vulgaris, L). For this purpose, 27 starlings which were shot and sent in nylon bags to our laboratory by hunters were inspected for lice. Nine lice specimens were collected from the starlings and they were preserved in vials separately in 70% alcohol. They were cleared in 10% KOH for one or two days and mounted on slides in Canada balsam. They were examined by light microscope and identified to species. Four (14.81%) of 27 starlings were found to be infested with lice. Four species were identified as Myrsidea cucullaris (Nitzsch, 1818), Brueelia nebulosa (Burmeister, 1838), Sturnidoecus sturni (Schrank, 1766) and Brueelia sp. All of them have been reported for the first time from starlings in Turkey.Öğe Chewing-lice (Phtihiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) occurring on birds in the Konya zoo.(2009) Dik B.; Uslu U.In this study, 25 birds belonging to 15 different species at the zoo in Konya were inspected for the presence of chewing-lice. Three Long-legged Buzzards (Buteo rufinus), one Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) and one Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus) were found to be infested by chewing-lice. Two hundred and eleven chewing-lice specimens were collected from the birds and seven species were identified. They were mounted on slides separately in Faure forte medium or Canada balsam after clearing in 10% KOH. Morphologic characteristics of the chewing-lice were examined and measured under the light microscope.

[Türkiye'deki Evcil ve Yabani Kanatlilarda Bulunan Ci?neyici Bit (Phthiraptera) Türleri.](2010) Dik B.This study was carried out 48 domestic and wild bird samples belonging to 15 different species. Birds that were killed by traffic on the roads as well as birds that were ill or injured were brought for investigation to the Veterinary Faculty or Animal Keeping House of Konya Municipal. Firstly, all of them were inspected macroscopically for ectoparasites. Then, they were treated with an insecticidal drug, propoxur in a cartoon box. One long-eared owl, one Eurasian buzzard, four long-legged buzzards and five rock pigeons were found to be infested with lice, the others were not. The lice were mounted on slides into Canada balsam after being cleared in KOH 10 % and were identified to species under the light microscope. The lice were identified as Strigiphilus barbatus collected from the long-eared owl, as Kurodaia fulvofasciata collected from the Eurasian buzzard, as Crasspedorrhynchus platystomus, Degeeriella fulva, Colpocephalum nanum collected from long-legged buzzards and as Columbicola columbae collected from rock pigeons. This is the first time that Kurodaia fulvofasciata from the Eurasian buzzard and Strigiphilus barbatus from the long-eared owl has been recorded in Turkey.Öğe Cuclotogaster heterographus (Mallophaga: Lipeuridae) infestation on ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) in Konya [Konya'da halkali sülünlerde (Phasianus Colchicus) Cuclotogaster heterographus (Mallophaga: Lipeuridae) enfestasyonu.](2006) Dik B.; Uslu U.The aim of this study was to detect ectoparasites on ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) in Konya. On the Research and Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Selcuk University, 55 ring-necked pheasants were observed to be infested with ectoparasites. Because of this, the pheasants were put into a large cartoon-box, the bottom of which was covered with a white paper and were treated with propoxur for a few minutes. The ectoparasites that had fallen on the paper were transferred to a tube containing 70% ethyl alcohol. After being cleared in lactophenol for a few days, they were mounted on slides in Faure-Forte medium. All of the ectoparasites were identified as the chewing lice (Mallophaga), Cuclotogaster heterographus. This is the first study that has recorded the presence of C. heterographus on ring-necked pheasants in Turkey.Öğe Culicoides latr, 1809 (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) species in the Niğde province [Niğde yöresi Culicoides latr, 1809 (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) türleri.](2006) Dik B.; Karatepe M.; Karatepe B.; Yağci S.This study was carried out in order to detect Culicoides species in the Ni?de province (Tepe and Mezbaha) from June 2001-October 2001. Light traps were used for the collection of Culicoides specimens. The Culicoides specimens were cleared in phenol alcohol and they were mounted on slides. In this study a total of 593 Culicoides specimens composed of 548 females and 45 males were collected and 12 species (Culicoides punctatus, C. circumscriptus, C. festivipennis, C. gejgelensis, C. longipennis, C. maritimus, C. picturatus, C. puncticollis, C. nubeculosus, C. odiatus, C. pumilus and C. subneglectus), were identified.Öğe Culicoides species (Latreille, 1809) (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Hatay province(2010) Dik B.; Yaman M.; Uslu U.This study was carried out to determine of Culicoides species in Hatay province (Antakya, Reyhanli{dotless}, Hassa, Samanda? and Ki{dotless}ri{dotless}khan districts) between April 2005 and October 2006. The light traps were used for the collection of Culicoides samples. They were placed in or nearby sheep or cattle pens at the sunset and was kept for about two-three hours. A total of 520 Culicoides specimens were collected and 15 species were identified follow as: C. badooshensis Khalaf, C. cataneii Clastrier, C. circumscriptus Kieffer, C. dzhafarovi Remm, C. festivipennis Kieffer, C. gejgelensis Dzhafarov, C. imicola Kieffer, C. nubeculosus (Meigen), C. odiatus Austen, C. picturatus Kremer and Deduit, C. puncticollis (Becker), C. riethi Kieffer, C. sahariensis Kieffer, C. schultzei kompleks (Enderlein), C. shaklawensis Khalaf. While Culicoides circumscriptus and C. schultzei kompleks were dominant species, two specimens of C.f estivipennis, C. odiatus, C. picturatus, C. riethi and C. shaklawensis only one specimen of C. dzhafarovi were obtained.Öğe Ectoparasites of the ground squirrel (Citellus citellus (L.)) in Turkey.(2008) Uslu U.; Dik B.; Gökçen A.A total of 100 ground squirrels, Citellus (C.) citellus were trapped in rural regions of Konya in order to determine the presence of ectoparasites. Of these C. citellus examined, 16% (16/100) were infected with at least one ectoparasite species. Two types of ectoparasites were found including 10% fleas and 7% ticks. Only two flea species were found on C. citellus including Nosopsyllus fasciatus 10% (10/100) and Pulex irritans 1% (1/100). Also, only two species of ticks were found on the C. citellus examined. The rate of Haemaphysalis sp. nymphs was found to be 5% (5/100). Both Ixodes sp. adults and Ixodes sp. nymphs were found in 1% (1/100) of the C. citellus examined. The prevalence of ectoparasites showed no specific relationship with the gender and age of the host. Evidently, ground squirrels carry relatively few ectoparasite species in Turkey. This is the first report describing ectoparasites of C. citellus in Turkey.Öğe Effect of Corynebacterium cutis lysate on serum oxidative stress and plasma prostaglandin F2? metabolite levels(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 2014) Er A.; Dik B.; Corum O.Background: The Corynebacterium cutis lysate is commercial product. Unbalance between oxidants and antioxidants cause oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the cell. Macrophages phagocytose large pieces of bacteria and synthesize cytokines. In addition to the beneficial results of the drug have side effects. Since changes in biochemical parameters reflect structural dysfunction in the organism, monitoring changes of these parameters is a way to keep track of side effects. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Corynebacterium cutis lysate on serum thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and plasma 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandinF2? (PGM) levels in sheep. Materials, Methods & Results: Six Merino crossbred ewes (aged >2 years, weight 40-60 kg) were used in this study. The procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee. A dose of 8 mg (0.4 mL) of commercial Corynebacterium cutis lysate was subcutaneously injected to each of the 6 Merino crossbred ewes. Blood specimens were taken from the sheep prior to injection (day 0, control) and after the injection on days 1, 2, 3, and 4. The levels of serum TBARS and plasma PGM were determined using an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) reader. The values of the hemogram [white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), platelets (PLT), hematocrit (HTC), and hemoglobin (HBG)] were assessed using a blood cell count apparatus. The levels of plasma creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and cholesterol were determined on an autoanalyzer. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and Scheffe's test as a post hoc test (SPSS 19.0). A P < 0.05 value was taken as the cut-offvalue for statistical significance. An increase (P < 0.05) in the levels of plasma PGM and serum cholesterol was detected when compared to the control samples, but there was no statistically significant (P > 0.05) change in the other parameters. Discussion: The Corynebacterium cutis lysate is a commercial product and used in cattle, newborn calves, sheep, and poultry as an immunostimulant against infections and to increase body resistance in times of stress. Corynebacterium cutis lysate increased (P < 0.05) in plasma PGM and serum cholesterol levels compared to the control group. Detailed studies dealing with the effect of Corynebacterium cutis lysate on PGM and TBARS are not available in the literature. There is a balance between oxidants and antioxidants in the organism. Unbalance between oxidants and antioxidants caused by increased production of oxidizing species leads to oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the cells. The levels of TBARS or malondialdehyde are used in order to determine lipid peroxidation. The levels of serum TBARS, malondialdehyde and PGM increased in experimental infection models. Macrophages phagocytose large pieces of bacteria such as Corynebacterium cutis lysate and this case triggers the synthesis of cytokines by macrophages. Cholesterol metabolism may change in infections, and high levels of cholesterol were determined in test subjects after injection of LPS. Lipid metabolism may be affected by stimulants of the immune system, such as Corynebacterium cutis lysate. In conclusion, Corynebacterium cutis lysate has no effect on the oxidative status and number of blood cells and organ (heart, liver and kidney) damage markers in sheep and it may increase plasma PGM level by stimulating the immune system.Öğe [The first case of Ophionyssus natricis (Gervais, 1844) on a sea snake (Natrix tessellata, Laurente 1768) (Reptilia: Squamata: Colubridae) in Turkey].
