    (Kafkas Univ, Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2010) Dik, Bilal; Yaman, Mehmet; Uslu, Ugur
    This study was carried out to determine of Culicoides species in Hatay province (Antakya, Reyhanli, Hassa, Samandag and Kirikhan 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. puncticoffis (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.

    Prevalence of Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis in patients with blepharitis and chalazion
    (Springer, 2023) Akkucuk, Serife; Kaya, Ozlem Makbule; Aslan, Lokman; Ozdemir, Talat; Uslu, Ugur
    Purpose Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are common ectoparasites on skin that also can lead to blepharitis and chalazion. The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence of Demodex spp. in eyelashes of patients diagnosed with chronic blepharitis and chalazion. Methods This study included 330 patients diagnosed with chronic blepharitis, 70 patients diagnosed with chalazion and 130 volunteers without any ocular problems. Patient eyelashes were examined under a light microscope at magnifications of x 40, x 100 and x 400. Demodex spp. were determined. Results Parasite prevalence was significantly higher in blepharitis (75.5%) and chalazion groups (70%) compared to the control group (16.2%) (p < 0.001). The prevalence of D. folliculorum in the blepharitis group and D. brevis in the chalazion group was found to be significantly higher compared to other groups (p < 0.05). The average number of mites per eyelash was found to be significantly higher in patients with Demodex positive blepharitis (p = 0.001) and in chalazion patients (p = 0.047) than in the control group. It has been determined that mite positivity increases with age in blepharitis and control groups (p < 0.05). In the group with blepharitis, it was found that mite positivity was significant in the presence of symptoms (p = 0.0001) and Demodex positivity decreased as the education level of individuals increased (p = 0.039). Conclusion The results of the study show that Demodex spp infestations should be considered in chronic blepharitis and chalazion.
