Summary: | This study has been carried out to detect Theileria infection in sheep and goats in different geographical regions of Turkey such as Central Anatolia, Eastern Anatolia and Southern Anatolia. Many visits were made to these locations in different periods and a total of 687 sheep and 89 goats, suspected to have Theileria infection, were examined. The prevalance of infection with T. ovis was 64.19 % in sheep and 12.36 % in goats. Microscopical examination showed that the percentage of parasite carriers was 37.55 % in sheep and 5.62 % in goats. Its seroprevalance was 60.26 % in sheep and 8.99 % in goats by IFAT. Theileria lestoquardi, which is very pathogenic for sheep and goats, is not present in Turkey. A total of 709 ticks were collected from sheep and goats.
Bu çalışmada, Orta Anadolu, Güney Anadolu ve Doğu Anadolu gibi Türkiye'nin değişik coğrafik bölgelerinde, koyun ve keçilerde Theileria enfeksiyonu incelenmiştir. Değişik zamanlarda bu farklı bölgelerden Theileria şüpheli 687 koyun ve 89 keçi muayene edilmiştir. Theileria ovis'in hem serolojik, hem de mikroskopik muayenesiyle saptanan prevalans oranları koyunlarda % 64.19 ve keçilerde % 12.36 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Mikroskopik muayenede koyunların % 37.55 ve keçilerin % 5.62'sinde piroplasm şekli görülmüştür. Serolojik muayenede ise IFA testi ile koyunlarda % 60.26 ve keçilerde % 8.99 pozitiflik tespit edilmiştir. Keçi ve koyunlarda yüksek oranda hastalık ve ölüm meydana getirdiği belirtilen patojen T. lestoquardi türüne Türkiye'de rastlanmamıştır. Muayene edilen koyun ve keçiler üzerinde toplam 709 adet kene bulunmuştur. |
