    Helminh Parasites of Two Lacertid Species, Anatololacerta anatolica (Wermer, 1902) and Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) (Sauria: Lacertidae) from Bursa Province, North-Western Turkey
    (Inst Zoology, Bas, 2020-06-01) Bursey, Charles R.; Yıldırımhan, Hikmet S.; Sümer, Nurhan; SÜMER, NURHAN; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Biyoloji Bölümü; AAH-4193-2021
    Totally, 106 lacertid lizards of two species, Anatololacerta anatolica (n=63) and Darevskia rudis (n=43), from Bursa Province, Turkey, were examined for helminth parasites. In Anatololacerta anatolica, one species of Cestoda, Mesocestoides sp. (tetrathyridium), four species of Nematoda, Skrjabinodon medinae, Spauligodon saxicolae, Skrjabinelazia hoffmanni and Ascamps strongylina (larva in cysts), and one species of Acanthocephala, Plagiorhynchus sp. (cystacanth), were found. In Darevskia rudis, two nematode species, Skrjabinodon medinae and Spauligodon saxicolae, were recorded. The helminth species reported in this study are generalists infecting more than one host species.

    Helminth parasites of anatololacerta anatolica (Werner, 1902) from western provinces (Aydın, Bursa, Çanakkale, İzmir) of Türkiye
    (Helminthological Soc Washington, 2023-01-01) Sümer, Nurhan; Yıldırımhan, Hikmet Sami; Bursey, Charles Robert; Birlik, Sezen; Kumlutaş, Yusuf; Ilgaz, Çetin; Candan, Kamil; Caynak, Elif Yildirim; SÜMER, NURHAN; YILDIRIMHAN, HİKMET SAMİ; BİRLİK, SEZEN; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Biyoloji Bölümü; AAH-4193-2021; AAC-1581-2020; AAB-9963-2020
    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. Anatololacerta anatolica represents a new host record for P. elegans, S. taurica and S. aloisei.

    Studies on gastrointestinal helminth of three Lacertid Lizard species, Podarcis muralis, Podarcis siculus and Ophisops elegans (Sauria: Lacertidae) from Bursa, North-Western Turkey
    (Sciendo, 2019-12-01) Yıldırımhan, H. S.; Sümer, N.; YILDIRIMHAN, HİKMET SAMİ; SÜMER, NURHAN; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Biyoloji Bölümü; AAC-1581-2020; AAH-4193-2021
    A total of 80 specimens of three species of lacertid Podarcis muralis (39), Podarcis siculus (18) and Ophisops elegans (23) from Bursa were examined for helminths. One species of Digenea, Plagiorchis elegans, 1 species of Cestoda, Mesocestoides sp. (tetrathyridium); and 3 species of Nematoda, Skrjabinodon medinae, Spauligodon saxicolae and Skrjabinelazia hoffmanni were found. The helminths reported in this study are generalist helminths that infect a number of lizards.

    Helminth parasites of yellow-legged gull Larus michahellis (charadriiformes) from Bursa, Turkey
    (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; Büyükorhan Meslek Yüksekokulu; 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.

    Intestinal helminth parasites of two bat species of the genus myotis kaup, 1829 (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) from Turkey, with DNA sequencing of helminth nuclear LSR rDNA

    Three individuals of Myotis alcathoe von HeIversen & Heller, 2001 (males) and twenty three individuals of Myotis daubentonii (Kuhl, 1817) (three females and twenty males) from Bursa Province, Turkey, were examined for helminth parasites. Myotis alcathoe was found to harbour four species of digeneans: Prosthodendrium ascidia, Lecithodendrium linstowi, Plagiorchis koreanus and Plagiorchis elegans. Myotis daubentonii was found to harbour eight species of digeneans: Prosthodendrium chilostomum, Prosthodendrium longiforme, Prosthodendrium hurkovae, Lecithodendrium linstowi, Plagiorchis koreanus, Plagiorchis muelleri, Plagiorchis elegans and Plagiorchis vespertilionis, as well as two species of nematodes: Capillaria moraveci and Molinostrongylus skrjabini. All these species were identified using both morphological and molecular methods, obtaining consistent results. To our knowledge, this is the first helminthological examination of Myotis alcathoe and four new host and geographical records are reported. New host and geographical records for five species of helminths are reported for Myotis daubentonii. The 28s rDNA partial sequences of two helminth species (Prosthodendrium ascidia and Molinostrongylus skrjabini) are new records for GenBank.
