Abstract

Güneydoğu Avrupa ve Batı Asya’da da yayılış gösteren Türk dağ keçisi veya yaban keçisi (Capra aegagrus aegagrus Erxleben, 1877) Türkiye’de doğu, kuzeydoğu bölgeleriyle güneydoğunun dik yamaçlarında görülmektedir. Uzun süredir ve günümüzde de yayılış gösterdiği Antalya yöresi, Türk dağ keçisinin temel yayılım alanlarından biridir. Çalışmada, Antalya yöresinden elde edilen iki erkek dağ keçisi nekropsi yapılarak mide bağırsak helmintleri bakımından incelenmiş, toplam 3917 helmint toplanarak morfolojik özelliklerine göre tür teşhisleri yapılmıştır. Trichostrongylid nematodlardan 7 türün tespit edildiği araştırmada, en yaygın türler olarak Marshallagia marshalli, Telodorsagia circumcincta’ya abomasum’da, Nematodirus abnormalis’e ise ince bağırsaklarda rastlanmıştır. Bu çalışma ile ilk kez yaban keçisi alt türü olan Capra aegagrus aegagrus’un sindirim sistemi helmint türleri belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın yapıldığı bölgelere yakın alanlarda evcil keçi ve koyunlar üzerinde daha önce yürütülen araştırmalarla bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırıldığında, Antalya yöresinde yaşayan yaban keçileri ile evcil küçük ruminantlar arasında paraziter enfeksiyonlar bakımından karşılıklı bulaşmanın söz konusu olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır

Abstract

Turkish ibex or wild goat (Capra aegagrus aegagrus Erxleben, 1877) is known to be distributed in Southeast Europe and Western Asia. In Turkey, the species is distributed in Eastern, Northeastern and steep mountainous areas of Southeast Anatolia. Antalya province is one of the main areas where Turkish ibex are currently found and where the species has had a long history. Digestive tracts of two male wild goats (Capra aegagrus aegagrus) were examined at necropsy from Antalya province, Turkey for gastrointestinal helminth infections. In total 3917 helminth parasites were collected and identified by morphological characteristics. Seven species of trichostrongylid nematodes were identified. Marshallagia marshalli and Telodorsagia circumcincta were the most abundant abomasal nematodes whereas Nematodirus abnormalis was dominant in the small intestine. This is the first report of helminths from Capra aegagrus aegagrus (sub-species of wild goat). Comparison with previous reports conducted on domestic goat and sheep in the nearby areas suggests that transmission of parasites between wild goat and domestic small ruminants is occurring
