Thirty-eight individuals of Anatololacerta anatolica (Werner, 1902) (17 males, 20 females, and 1 juvenile) were collected by hand from western Provinces of Turkiye and the following helminth species were found: 1 species of Digenea Plagiorchis elegans (Rudolphi, 1802) Braun, 1902, 1 species of Cestoda Mesocestoides sp. (tetrathyridia), and 4 species of Nematoda Skrjabinodon medinae, Skrjabinelazia hoffmanni Li, 1934, Skrjabinelazia taurica, and Spauligodon aloisei.

(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2015-03-01) Demir, S.; Yakar, O.; Yıldırımhan, Hıkmet Sami; Birlik, Sezen; YILDIRIMHAN, HİKMET SAMİ; BİRLİK, SEZEN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0001-5997-5070; AAB-9963-2020; AAC-1581-2020
Fifty-four Pelophylax bedriagae (Levantine Frog) from Turkey (Izmir and Manisa Provinces) were examined for helminth parasites. The frogs were collected between 2012 and 2014 years. Eight species of helminth parasites were recorded: 3 species of Nematoda (Rhabdias bufonis, Cosmocerca ornata, Oswaldocruzia filiformis), 3 species of Digenea (Diplodiscus subclavatus, Haematoloechus breviansa, Gorgoderina vitelliloba), 1 species of Acanthocephala (Acanthocephalus ranae) and 1 species of Hirudinea (Hirudo medicinalis). Pelophylax bedriagae is a new host record for these parasite species.

(Helminthological Soc Washington, 2022-12-01) Poyraz, Emine; BİRLİK, SEZEN; Yıldırımhan, Hikmet Sami; YILDIRIMHAN, HİKMET SAMİ; SÜMER, NURHAN; Sümer, Nurhan; Girişgin, Ahmet Onur; GİRİŞGİN, AHMET ONUR; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Büyükorhan Meslek Yüksekokulu.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi/ Biyoloji Bölümü.; 0000-0002-0020-2708; B-5286-2017
The yellow-legged gull, Larus michahellis, is a common gull that exists in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Their broad diet makes them especially susceptible to a variety of helminths. We conducted a survey of intestinal helminths of L. michahellis to determine the diversity of intestinal parasites. Thirty-five yellow-legged gulls were necropsied, and helminths were examined via light microscopy. Twenty-three of 35 (65%) of hosts examined were infected with the following helminths: 6 Digenea species (Acanthotrema armata, Brachylaima aspersae, Cryptocotyle lingua, Diplostomum spathaceum, Knipowitschiatrema sp., and Stephanoprora denticulata); 5 Cestode species (Alcotaenia microcantha, Diphyllobothrium dentriticum, Microsomacanthus ductilis, Monopylidium galbulae, and Tetrabothrius erostris); and 2 Nematode species (Contracaecum rudolphii and Synhimanthus sp.). Herein, the intestinal parasite diversity of yellow-legged gulls from Turkey is reported, and new geographical records are documented.
Helminths of the digestive tract in buteo buteo (Falconiformes: Falconidae) in Bursa province of northwest Turkey
(Tübitak Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2015-01-01) Tezel, Mehmet; Girişgin, Ahmet Onur; Birlik, Sezen; Yıldırımhan, Hikmet Sami; Şenlik, Bayram; Tezel, Mehmet; GİRİŞGİN, AHMET ONUR; BİRLİK, SEZEN; YILDIRIMHAN, HİKMET SAMİ; ŞENLİK, BAYRAM; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Parasitoloji Bölümü; 0000-0002-0020-2708; 0000-0003-2964-2245; AAB-9963-2020; B-5286-2017; AAC-1581-2020; CDI-4443-2022; GBN-0139-2022
Raptors can be parasitized by numerous helminth species due to their feeding behavior. When the parasite load is high, the bird's life can be affected. A total of 21 common buzzards, Buteo buteo, from different districts of Bursa, in Northwest Turkey, were examined for helminth infections. The results of the postmortem examination revealed that 15 of 21 buzzards (71.43%) harbored 1 or more helminth species. Seven species/genera of helminths were detected at the following prevalence rates: ascarid larvae (47.62%), Strigea falconis (38.09%), Neodiplostomum attenuatum (33.33%), Cladotaenia globifera (14.29%), Centrorhynchus amphibius (14.29%), Physaloptera alata (9.52%), and Synhimantus laticeps (4.76%). The most common helminth species was S. falconis, which was found in the small intestine of its hosts. This study is the first report to describe the presence of N. attenuatum, S. falconis, C. globifera, P. alata, and C. amphibius in the common buzzards of Turkey. This study is also the first to report the presence of S. laticeps in common buzzards, although this helminth had been previously reported in a sparrow hawk in Turkey.

Common magpies (Corvidae: Pica pica) distribute through rural and urban areas of Turkey. Because of their distribution in urbanised regions, magpies may have some potential infectious agents which may relate to domestic animals and humans. In this study, eight common magpies brought to the animal hospital in need of medical intervention were examined for endoparasites and bacteria in a one-year period. Additionally, histopathologic examinations with related organs were carried out along with endo-parasitical, cytological and microbial examination the following necropsy. As results of the necropsies, three parasite species including two helminths and one protozoan (Passerilepis sp., Brachylaima sp., Isospora rochalimai, respectively) were identified, while Staphylococcus xylosus, S. sciuri, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella spp. were isolated after microbiological examination. Histopathology revealed that subacute focal mycotic pneumonia, chronic nonpurulent granulomatous gastroenteritis, verminous enteritis, and the presence of paratyphoid nodules in liver. Both of the parasites and bacteria are the first records for Turkey's helminth/bacterial fauna in wild birds.
