    Detection of Echinococcus granulosus coproantigens in dogs from Antakya Province, Turkey
    (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2008) Guzel, M.; Yaman, M.; Koltas, I. S.; Demirkazik, M.; Aktas, H.
    Seventy-nine owned dogs (47 males and 32 females) from Antakya province were examined for E. granulosus by coproantigen ELISA (CHEKIT (R)-ECHINOTEST) between April to July in 2006. The estimated prevalence of E. granulosus infection was 8.86 % (7/79). Mean age of the dogs with E. granulosus was 2.3 years ranging from one to five years. There was no statistically significant difference regarding the prevalence between male and female dogs. A significant difference was detected between unrestrained (or free roaming) and indoor or chained dogs (p < 0.05). Although the prevalence of the E. granulosus infection in owned dogs in Antakya province is low, the incidence was quite high in the unrestrained and undewormed dogs. Therefore a preventive control programme in the dogs should be initiated in this region.

    Prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs from Hatay province, Turkey
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2009) Yaman, M.; Guzel, M.; Koltas, I. S.; Demirkazik, M.; Aktas, H.
    The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of canine dirofilariosis in Hatay province, south of Turkey. A total of 269 blood samples were collected from owned dogs in this multi-centre survey between March and July 2006. Blood samples were examined by modified Knott and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques to detect circulating microfilariae and antigens of Dirofilaria immitis, respectively. Seventy out of 269 dogs (26.0%) were positive for D. immitis. However, 61.4% of positive dogs had occult infection. The prevalence of canine dirofilariosis was heterogeneous in Hatay province, with higher values in shoreline (33.0%) and riverside (30.9%) areas followed by the lowland (25.5%) or mountainous (15.2%) areas. No statistically significant differences were observed in relation to sex (females, 33.3%; males, 24.4%, P > 0.05). When evaluating the prevalence of D. immitis by age, the highest prevalence was observed in dogs older than 4 years of age. Large breeds (29.6%) and the dogs living outdoors (30.2%) showed a higher prevalence in comparison to small breeds (21.4%) and the dogs living indoors (10.5%), respectively. In conclusion, according to the results of this study canine dirofilariosis had a high prevalence in Hatay province. Therefore, prophylaxis against heartworm is advisable to decrease the incidence of canine dirofilariosis.

    Prevalence of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon spp. in Wild Birds in Hatay, Turkey
    (Hellenic Veterinary Medical Soc, 2023) Zerek, A.; Erdem, I; Alakus, H.; Yaman, M.; Altug, M. E.
    Hemosporidian parasites that cause infections in poultry and death in susceptible animals show a global distribution. Infected wild birds play an important role in this distribution due to seasonal migration among different regions. Hatay, where migratory birds enter Turkey, is an active region regarding vectors, disease agents and hosts. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon parasites in wild birds of Hatay Province by microscopic and molecular methods. Blood samples were taken from a total of 50 wild birds belonging to three orders, eight species. In the microscopic examination, Haemoproteus spp. infection 18% (9/50) and coinfections (Haemoproteus spp. and Leucocytozoon spp.) 4% (2/50) were detected while in the PCR examination, coinfections 4% (2/50), H. columbae 20% (10/50) and Leucocytozoon spp. 2% (1/50) were detected. As a result, haemosporidian parasites were detected in approximately one of every four wild birds (microscopic 22%, molecular 26%).
