A preliminary study on the molecular variabilities in Varroa destructor and its effect on the body measurements.

Varroa species, commonly known as the honey bee mites, poses a significant challenge to the worldwide beekeeping industry. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of haplotype variation on morphology of Varroa destructor. Forty-one apiaries across Bingol province (Türkiye) and its districts were visited using random sampling to examine 2440 honey bee colonies.

Sequence and Haplotype Analyses of Ligula intestinalis in Acanthobrama marmid (Cyprinidae) in Turkey.

Purpose: Ligulosis caused by Ligula intestinalis adversely affects the fisheries carried out in the lakes and ponds, causing economic losses in the fish industry. In this study, it was aimed to reveal the molecular characterization of L. intestinalis isolates obtained from woodfish (Acanthobrama marmid) in Keban Dam Lake in Elazig province of Turkey by using mt-CO1 gene sequences and to determine the genetic differences and haplotypes between the isolates.

Molecular Characterization and Haplotype Analyses of Lung Hydatid Cyst Isolates of Cattle and First Report of Echinococcus canadensis (G6/G7) in Cattle Isolates in Turkey.

Purpose: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease, caused by parasite known as Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato complex, leading to substantial economic losses in rural areas with public health problems. This study was carried out to understand the haplotypic profiles of the partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (mt-CO1) gene of cattle lung hydatid cyst samples which were obtained from two provinces in Turkey.

Methods: In this study, forty (n = 40) hydatid cyst samples from the lungs of slaughtered cattle were obtained.

Occurrence of Liver Hydatid Cysts in a Donkey and Molecular Characterization of .

Larval tapeworms of have been viewed as the etiological agent for the zoonotic disease cystic echinococcosis, but the species is a complex readily divided into several species and genotypes. Cystic echinococcosis is an important public health issue. Here, the case of liver hydatid cyst in a donkey and molecular characterization of the cyst is presented.

[Investigation of the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in aviary birds in homes in the Van province].

This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in aviary birds in the Van province. For this purpose, fecal samples were collected from aviary birds (6 parrots, 5 nightingales, 24 canaries and 35 lovebirds) in Van. In the parasitology laboratory, seventy fecal samples were examined using the native and sedimentation technique for helminth eggs, Eimeria sp.

[The prevalence of Linguatula serrata (Fröhlich, 1789) nymphs in sheep in the Van province].

This research was carried out in order to detect the prevalence of Linguatula serrata nymphs in lung and mesenteric lymph nodes of sheep in Van province. For this purpose, mesenteric lymph nodes of 347 sheep and lung lymph nodes of 224 sheep were examined. L.

[Prevalence of liver flukes in hair goats slaughtered in Hakkari (Yüksekova) Province].

The aim of this investigation was to determine the prevalence of distomatosis in 267 hair goats which were slaughtered in the slaughterhouses belonging to butchers located in Yüksekova district of Hakkari province. In the study, distomatosis were detected in 165 (61.80%) of the 267 hair goats.

[Determination of the status of lipid peroxidation and antioxidants in cattle infected with Dictyocaulus viviparus].

Endoparasites cause significant economic losses and health problems in domestic animals. In this study, lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant status were investigated in the lung tissue taken from twenty cattle infected with Dictyocaulus viviparus and ten healthy cattle. Malondialdehyde superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, vitamin C and beta-carotene were measured.

Prevalence of Eimeria spp., Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia spp. in calves in the Van province.

This research was carried out in order to determine the prevalence of Eimeria spp. Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts and Giardia cysts in calves less than 6 months of age in Van province.

Evaluation of the anthelmentic activity of garlic (Allium sativum) in mice naturally infected with Aspiculuris tetraptera.

This study was performed to investigate the anthelmentic (nematodes) effect of garlic in Swiss albino mice naturally infected with Aspiculuris tetraptera. Natural infection was determined by the use of cellophane tape method on the perianal region and by the technique of centrifugal flotation of stool samples. The infected mice were divided into three groups; namely, Group 1: garlic treatment groups (n: 18), Group 2: positive control (treated with ivermectin, n: 19) and Group 3: untreated control group (n: 19).

[Investigation of Cryptosporidium sp. in workers of the Van municipality slaughterhouse and in slaughtered animals].

This study was carried out in order to investigate the prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp. in slaughtered animals and workers of the Van municipality slaughterhouse in Van. Animals slaughtered at different times and workers who had been working in different departments of the slaughter house were included in the study for three months.

[Prevalence of Eimeria species in sheep in the Bitlis province].

This study was performed in order to investigate the presence of Eimeria species in sheep in the Bitlis province. For this purpose, 241 stool samples were collected from sheep in the Bitlis City and Hizan City as well as Horozdere and Gülçimen villages in the Bitlis province. During the laboratory examination of fecal samples, nine different Eimeria species were identified in 215 (89.

[Investigation of helminth infections of cats and dogs in the Hatay province].

In this study autopsies and fecal examinations of 8 cats and 6 dogs were performed. The helminth infection rate was founded to be 50.0% in cats and dogs after the fecal examinations.
