    Factors related to the frequency of cat ear mites (Otodectes cynotis)
    (2016) Acar, Abuzer; Yipel Altınok, Fulya
    Otodectes cynotis; kedilerde görülen otitis externa etiyolojisi içerisinde önemli bir yeri olan ve prevalansı oldukça yüksek paraziter bir enfestasyondur. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'deki kedilerde görülen Oc enfestasyonunun sıklığını etkileyen faktörler araştırılmıştır. Toplamda 105 kedinin her iki kulak kanalında fiziksel ve otoskopik muayeneleri yapılmış ve 28 kedide Oc enfestasyonu tespit edilmiştir (%27.7). Kediler cinsiyet, yaş (<1 yaş, 1-4 yaş, >4 yaş), yaşam tarzları (evde yalnız, evde diğer pet hayvanları ile, dışarıda) ve klinik semptomlar (kaşıntı, eritem, ülserasyon, kulak akıntısı, ağrı) yönünden kategorize edilmiş ve ki-kare testleri kullanılarak bu risk faktörlerinin enfestasyon ile ilişkisi ortaya konmuştur. Yaşam tarzı ve enfestasyon arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur (P<0.05)

    Topical retinoic acid in the treatment of feline tail gland hyperplasia (stud tail): A prospective clinical trial
    (Natl Veterinary Research Inst, 2008) Ural, Kerem; Acar, Abuzer; Guzel, Murat; Karakurum, Mehmet Cagri; Cingi, Cenker Cagri
    The purpose of this prospective, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled clinical trial was to investigate the efficacy of topical cream, containing 0.1% retinoic acid for the treatment of tail gland hyperplasia in cats. Nineteen privately owned cats diagnosed with tail gland hyperplasia, based on history and clinical findings were randomly assigned to either a placebo or an active ingredient treatment group. Clinical evaluations were done by the same investigator, who scored clinical healing, at the beginning, during, and at the end of the treatment. Both owners and investigators were blinded to the allocation to the groups. It was demonstrated that retinoic acid gel treatment significantly decreased (P<0.05) the investigator's clinical scores while no significant changes were detected in the placebo treatment group. In conclusion, treatment with 0.1% retinoic acid cream was effective for the topical management of tail gland hyperplasia in the cats included in the study.

    Use of selamectin for the treatment of psoroptic and sarcoptic mite infestation in rabbits
    (Wiley, 2007) Kurtdede, Arif; Karaer, Zafer; Acar, Abuzer; Guzel, Murat; Cingi, C. Cagri; Ural, Kerem; Ica, Anil
    Selamectin, a novel avermectin compound, was evaluated for its efficacy against naturally occurring infestations of Psoroptes cuniculi and Sarcoptes scabiei. A total of 42 New Zealand rabbits with psoroptic mange and 37 Angora rabbits with sarcoptic mange were used in the present study. On day 0, infested rabbits were treated topically with either selamectin at minimum dose of 6 mg kg(-1) (6-18 mg kg(-1) for New Zealand rabbits, n = 31 and 10-12 mg kg(-1) for Angora rabbits, n = 23) or vehicle only (control groups, n = 11 for New Zealand rabbits, n = 14 for Angora rabbits). The efficacy of selamectin was assessed both clinically and parasitologically by the presence or absence of viable mites. Rabbits were scraped for sarcoptic mites on days 7, 14, 28, 42 and 56 and had otoscopeic and/or microscopic examination for the detection of Psoroptes mites on days 7, 14, 42 and 56. Fisher's exact test was used to assess differences between the vehicle and selamectin treatment in the number of rabbits without mites (cure rates) on each assessment date. It was found that significantly fewer selamectin-treated rabbits had mites detected on skin scrapings (for S. scabiei) or otoscopeic and/or microscopic examination (for P. cuniculi) (P < 0.01) than the vehicle group. Results of the present study suggest that selamectin is effective against naturally infestations of P. cuniculi and S. scabiei in rabbits.
