    Aim of the present study was to determine the prevalance of Anoplocephalidae infections on enterprices where horses are kept for sport purposes (race, jumping, etc). A total of 460 horses of different age, gender and breed from 18 centres located in Bursa, Balikesir, Kocaeli, Tekirdag and Eskisehir were examined. Individual faecal samples were collected per rectum or freshly voided faeces. The samples were examined by means of sedimentation+centrifugation-flotation technique used saturated sugar solution (d=1.3) as medium. Anoplocephalidae-eggs were detected in 56 (12.2%) horses, whereas on 8 (44.4%) farms at least one horse was found to be infected. The lowest and the highest within farm prevalence was 4.3% and 70%, respectively. Males and Arabian purebred horses had significantly higher infection rates than females and the other breeds, respectively. Differences in prevalence in relation to age -animals between 1 and 3 years of age being more affected than older and younger ones- are seen.

    A survey of the ectoparasites found on wild birds in northwest Turkey
    (Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2023-08-01) Girişgin, O.; GİRİŞGİN, OYA; Girişgin, Ahmet Onur; GİRİŞGİN, AHMET ONUR; Çimenlikaya, N; Saygın, Berna; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Parazitoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Karacabey Meslek Yüksekokulu.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi.; 0000-0002-0020-2708; B-5286-2017; JRY-1676-2023
    Background: Turkey is home to various resident and migratory wild bird species. The aim of the present study was to investigate the ectoparasites found on 188 injured or rescued resident and migratory wild birds from Bursa and surroundings between 2015 and 2019.Methods: Sampled birds were examined for different ectoparasites and all of the collected parasites were placed into tubes containing 70% ethyl alcohol. After mounting onto slides or fixing onto a plate, each parasite was identified to species using a light or stereo microscope.Result: Results revealed that 88 (46.8%) of the examined wild birds were infested with one or two of 3 different species of ectoparasites. The species identified were 38 lice, three ticks and two flies. The lice were highly prevalent (40.4%) species than the flies (2.1%) and ticks (2.1%). The results also first geographically documented the lice and ked fly species as follows, with additional new host records: Fulicoffula gallinula and Pseudomenapon pilosum in the common moorhens (Gallinula chloropus); Ciconiphilus decimfasciatus in the grey heron (Ardea cinerea); Saemundssonia clayae in the Eurasian woodcock (Scolopax rusticola); Ardeicola ixobrychae in the common little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) and the ked fly as Ornithophila metallica in the Eurasian magpies (Pica pica) in Turkey. The study results provided valuable data on the ectoparasites living on migratory and resident bird species during their migration throughout northwest Turkey. Further research on the related pathogens that these ectoparasites harbor is in need.
