[Helminths of Some Laboratory Animals Detected by Necropsy and Fecal Examination.]
Authors: Beyhan YE, Gürler AT, BölükbaÃ
 CS, Açici M, Umur S
A study was performed in order to determine helminths of laboratory animals. Fecal specimens obtained from 110 mice, 263 rats and 65 rabbits were investigated and 37 rats and 7 rabbits were necropsied. In general, 83.8% rats were found to be infected by necropsy, while 100% of mice,and 81.8% of rats were found to be infected with one or more helminths species by fecal examination. No rabbits were found to be infected by necropsy or fecal examination. In fecal examination of mice and rats, the prevalence of helminths was detected as follows: Syphacia muris, 100%; Aspicularis tetraptera, 53.6%; Syphacia obvelata, 46.4%; and Hymenolepis diminuta 17.9% in mice. The prevalence in rats was H. Diminuta, 62.5%; S. muris...

[Helminth Parasites of White Bream (Blicca bjoerkna L. 1758) from Kocadere Stream, Bursa.]
Authors: Selver MM, AydoÃÂdu A, Cirak VY
Aim of this study was to investigate the helminths and their monthly prevalence in 120 Blicca bjoerkna (white bream) in the Kocadere stream (Bursa province) from February 2005 to January 2006. As a result, 98.3% of B. bjoerkna were found to be infected with one or more helminth species and a total of 5 different helminth species were identified. The distribution of these parasites in B. bjoerkna and the average prevalence (annually) were as follows: Dactylogyrus sphyrna (24.2%), D. distinguendus (30.8%), Diplostomum spathaceum metacerceria (95.8%), Caryophyllaeus laticeps (2.5%) and Eustrongylides sp. larvae (8.3%).

[Seroprevalance of Listeriosis and Leishmaniasis in Shelter Dogs of the Erzurum Province.]
In this study, the seroprevalances of these infections were investigated in shelter dogs in Erzurum. The Osebold agglutination test for listeriosis and IFAT for leishmaniasis were performed in analysis of the specimens. Out of 72 dogs, 19 (26.3%) were found to be seropositive for Listeria monocytogenes. Leishmaniasis seropositivity was not detected in any of the specimens. A total of 13 (29.5%) of female dogs and 6 (21.4%) of male dogs were L. monocytogenes positive. Seropositivity rates were 41.6% in dogs less than 1 year old, 24% in those 1-3 years old, and 16.6% in those over 3 years old. Regarding percentages, the seropositivity rate of L. monocytogenes was found to be higher in female dogs and those younger. However, these changes were not found to be statistically significant (p >...

[Population Density of Phlebotomus (Diptera; Psychodidae; Phlebotomine) Species and Their Relationship with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Hocalli and Turunçlu Villages (Adana).]
Authors: Atakan E, Akbaba M, Sütoluk Z, Alptekñn D, Demñrhñndñ H, UludaàSK
The aim of this study was the detection of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases at Turunçlu and Hocalli Villages, Adana, Turkey, where local cases had been observed in recent years, and to determine possible vectors and their seasonal density distribution. This was for the purpose of encouraging public awareness and thus leading to prevention. An initial questionnaire was responded by 567 people, with a male-to-female ratio of 45% to 55%. The physician in the research group examined the whole population of both villages for CL and then made monthly visits in order to detect new cases. Adhesive paper traps and CDC light traps were placed in houses and animal stables in order to collect sandfli...
