(Sciendo, 2017-03-10) Kumlutaş, Yusuf; Candan, Kamil; Ilgaz, Çetin; Birlik, Sezen; Yıldırımhan, Hikmet Sami; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü.; AAB-9963-2020; AAC-1581-2020; 56534103400; 6603101555
Population of Iranolacerta brandtii lizard including 56 (21 female, 34 male,1 juvenile) samples were examined for helminths. 17 of them were found to harbour one or more helminth parasites, while 39 didn't harbor any. Two helminth species were determined. These belong to Phylum: Nematoda, Spauligodon aloisei Casanova, Milazzo, Ribas & Cagnin, 2003 and Skrjabinodon medinae. Garcia-Calvente, 1948. This study represents new host and locality records in both host lizard and the helminth species. Sp. aloisei is recorded for the first time; Sk. medinae is the third report from Turkey nevertheless Sk. medinae is a new host record for I. brandtii.
Gastrointestinal helminths of the oriental tree frog Hyla orientalis Bedriaga, 1890 (Amphibia: Hylidae) from Izmir Province, Western Turkey

Thirty Hyla orientalis (oriental tree frog) from Western Turkey (Izmir Province) were examined for helminth parasites. The frogs were collected in the spring of 2013. Four species of helminth parasites were recorded: three species of Nematoda (Cosmocerca ornata, Oswaldocruzia filiformis, Oxysomatium brevicaudatum), and one species of Acanthocephala (Acanthocephalus ranae). Oxysomatium brevicaudatum was recorded for the first time from Hyla orientalis in Turkey. A list of helminth parasites of Hyla spp. in Turkey is presented.

In the years 2010 and 2014, fifty-four samples of Phoenicolacerta laevis from eight localities in Adana (n=6) and Hatay (n=48) were collected and examined for helminth parasites. New host and locality records were recorded. As a results of present study, three species of Digenea, Sonsinotrema tacapense, Prosthodendrium chilostomum, Brachylaima sp. (metacercaria); two species of Cestoda, Oochoristica tuberculata and Mesocestoides sp. and four species of Nematoda, Skrjabinodon medinae, Spauligodon sp., Thubunaea sp. and a larva of the Ascaridiidae Ascarididae gen. sp. were reported for lizard samples. We document new host records for all of helminth species reported here. Sonsionotrema tacapense (Digenea), and Thubunaea sp. (Nematoda) are recorded for the first time from Turkey. There are, to our knowledge, no reports of helminths for P. laevis in Turkey and also from its range.

The present study investigated the composition of helminth parasites of Darevskia rudis, Spiny Tailed Lizard from Turkey. One hundred and two samples (49 females, 53 males) from the Tokat, Trabzon, Rize, Gumushane and Artvin Provinces were collected and examined for helminth parasites. New host and locality records were recorded. As a result of the present study, seven species of Nematoda, Skrjabinodon medinae, Spauligodon sp., Spauligodon carbonelli, Spauligodon aloisei, Skrjabinelazia hoffmanni, Strongyloides darevsky, Oswaldocruzia filiformis; one species of Cestoda, Mesocestoides spp. (tetrathyridium) and one species of Acanthocephala Sphaerirostris scanensis were reported from the lizard samples. Sp. carbonelli and Sphaerirostris scanensis are here recorded for the first time in Turkey. D. rudis is the new host recorded for Sk. medinae, Spauligodon sp., Sp. carbonelli, Sp. aloisei from Nematoda, Mesocestoides spp. from Cestoda and Sphaerirostris scanensis from Acanthocephala. This host has been studied for the fi rst time for the helminth parasites from the Tokat and Gumushane Provinces. There is, to our knowledge, only one report of helminthes for D. rudis in Turkey.

Specimens collected from Kayseri, Ardahan and Van Provinces in Turkey. As a result of the present study, it was detected that forty one hosts are infected with one or more species of helminth. Two species of Cestoda, Oochoristica tuberculata and Mesocestoides spp., and 5 species of Nematoda, Spauligodon aloisei, Skrjabinodon alcaraziensis, Skrjabinodon medinae, Skrjabinelazia hoffmanni and Strongyloides darevsky were found in the hosts. D. valentini represents a new host record for all helminths recorded. Skrjabinodon alcaraziensis is recorded for the first time from Turkey. Van, Kayseri and Ardahan are new locality records for all helminths from D. valentini.

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.

In Turkey, a study was conducted during the years 2009-2015 to detect the gastrointestinal helminth species of 18 white storks (Ciconia ciconia Linnaeus, 1758 (Aves: Ciconiiformes) sampled from aquatic or swamp areas of Bursa Province, one of the inter-route sites where storks intensely stay. The results of postmortem examination revealed that 17 (94.44%) white storks harboured one or more helminth species. Eight species of helminths were detected at the following prevalence rates: Dictymetra discoidea (38.88%), Chaunocephalus ferox (37.50%), Schistocephalus solidus (27.77%), Stephanoprora (Monilifer) spinulosa (18.75%), Echinoparyphium sp. (12.50%), Tylodelphys excavata (6.25%), T. clavata (6.25%), and Syncuaria ciconiae (6.25%). This study is the first report on the presence of all the above species except T. excavata from white storks in Turkey. Stephanoprora (M.) spinulosa was found in Ciconiiform birds for the first time in this study.

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.

Türkiye’ de Lacertidae familya üyesi 42 kertenkele türü yayılış göstermektedir. Tez çalışmasında Darevskia cinsine dahil bu familya üyesi 7 konak kertenkele türünün -D. armeniaca (Hemşin kertenkelesi), D. derjugini (Artvin kertenkelesi), D. parvula (Gürcü kertenkelesi), D. raddei (Radde kertenkelesi), D. rudis (Trabzon kertenkelesi), D. unisexualis (Ağrı kertenkelesi), D. valentini (Valentin kertenkelesi)- helmint faunasının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Faunanın belirlenmesinde önce morfolojik karakterlere göre klasik taksonomi ardından DNA sekans analizi uygulanmıştır. Tanımlanan türlerden 10 tanesi Nematoda şube üyesidir. Bu türler 2’si cins seviyesinde olmak üzere; Skrjabinodon medinae, S. alcaraziensis, Spauligodon sp., S. carbonelli, S. aloisei, Skrjabinelazia hoffmanni, Strongyloides darevsky, Oswaldocruzia filiformis, Thubunae sp., Acuaridae larva; 2 Sestod Oochoristica tuberculata ve Mesocestoides spp. ve 1 Akantosefal Sphaerirostris scanensis türü olmak üzere 13 helmint türü tanımlanmıştır. Helmintlerle ilgili hedef genomun belirlenmesi ile daha çok morfolojik, anatomik ve ekolojik özelliklerine göre teşhis edilen parazit türlerinin varlığı doğrulanmıştır. Morfolojik ve moleküler sonuçlar birbirini desteklemiştir. Tez çalışmasında tanımlanan 13 helmint türün biri larva olmak üzere 4 tanesi Türkiye helmint faunası için yeni kayıttır.
