Çorum İlinde Sokak Köpeklerini Enfeste Eden Kene Türlerinin Belirlenmesi

Year 2020, Volume: 77 Issue: 4, 441 - 448, 01.12.2020

Abstract

Amaç: Çorum, Kırım Kongo Kanamalı Ateşi gibi kene kaynaklı hastalıklar açısından endemik bir ilimizdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı insanların yerleşim alanları içerisinde yaşayan sokak köpeklerini enfeste eden kene türlerini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Bu amaçla Nisan 2018-Mart 2019 döneminde Çorum Belediyesi’ne bağlı Veteriner İşleri Müdürlüğü bünyesindeki Geçici Hayvan Bakımevi’ne rehabilite edilmek üzere getirilen sokak köpekleri arasından rastgele seçilen 100 köpeğin vücutları kene varlığı açısından taranmış, tespit edilen keneler bir pens yardımıyla çıkarılarak %96’lık etil alkol içeren tüplere alınmış ve tür tayinine kadar +4°C’de muhafaza edilmiştir.Bulgular: Kene taraması yapılan köpeklerin %20 20/100 ’si keneler ile enfesteydi ve keneler Ixodes kaiseri, Hyalomma spp., Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Rhipicephalus turanicus ve Haemaphysalis parva türlerine aitti. Enfeste bireylerdeki ortalama kene yoğunluğu 3.3 , bir köpekteki ortalama kene yoğunluğu ise 0.7 idi. En fazla kene Haziran ve Ağustos aylarında, en az kene ise Nisan ve Mayıs aylarında kaydedildi.Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, köpekler üzerinden toplanan kene sayısı görece düşüktür. Buna göre Veteriner İşleri Müdürlüğü’nün sokak köpeklerini kenelerden korumaya yönelik mücadelesinin başarılı olduğu söylenebilir. Sonuç olarak İl Veteriner İşleri Müdürlükleri, kenelerin ve kene kaynaklı zoonotik hastalıkların döngüsüne aracılık etme potansiyeli olan sokak köpeklerine uyguladıkları tedavi ve koruyucu veteriner hekimlik hizmeti sayesinde, bu hastalıkların önemli bir halk sağlığı problemine dönüşmesini önleyebilir

Ticks infesting stray dogs in Corum Province of Turkey

Year 2020, Volume: 77 Issue: 4, 441 - 448, 01.12.2020

Abstract

Objective: The Province of Çorum is an endemic area for tick-borne diseases such as the Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever. The aim of this study was to identify the tick species infesting stray dogs found in the surrounding of human habitations.Methods: Hundred stray dogs kept in the Animal Nursing Home of the Veterinary Service of the province were randomly selected during the period of April 2018 and March 2019. Ticks were removed with the help of forceps and placed in 96% ethyl alcohol and stored at +4°C until they were taxonomically identified.Results: The following tick species were found: Ixodes kaiseri, Hyalomma spp., Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Rhipicephalus turanicus and Haemaphysalis parva. The infestation prevalence was 20%, the infestation density 3.3 and the abundance was 0.7. The highest numbers of tick were recorded in June and August, while the lowest in April and May.Conclusion: The number of ticks collected from dogs in this study was relatively low, showing that the efforts of the Veterinary Services to control ticks Müdürlüğü’nün sokak köpeklerini kenelerden korumaya yönelik mücadelesinin başarılı olduğu söylenebilir. Sonuç olarak İl Veteriner İşleri Müdürlükleri, kenelerin ve kene kaynaklı zoonotik hastalıkların döngüsüne aracılık etme potansiyeli olan sokak köpeklerine uyguladıkları tedavi ve koruyucu veteriner hekimlik hizmeti sayesinde, bu hastalıkların önemli bir halk sağlığı problemine dönüşmesini önleyebilir
