Abstract

Niğde yöresinde yakalanan 105 Anadolu tarla sincabı (Spermophilus xanthophrymnus)’na ait bağırsak içeriği Eimeria türleri ve prevalans değerleri yönünden muayene edildi. Şekerli su-yüzdürme yöntemiyle incelenen dışkı numunelerinin % 27.6’da Eimeria oosistleri bulundu. Anadolu tarla sincaplarında Eimeria callospermophili (prevalans: % 25.7), E. morainensis (% 2.8), E. pseudospermophili (% 1.9) ve E. lateralis (% 0.9) olmak üzere 4 tür tespit edildi.: Intestinal contents of 105 Anatolian ground squirrels (Spermophilus xanthophrymnus) caught from Niğde province were examined to determine the types and prevalence of eimerian species. Eimerian oocysts were found in 27.6 % of all the samples examined by sucrose-flotation. Four species were recovered from Anatolian ground squirrels, including Eimeria callospermophili (prevalence: 25.7 %), E. morainensis (2.8 %), E. pseudospermophili (1.9 %), and E. lateralis (0.9 %).

Abstract

Intestinal contents of 105 Anatolian ground squirrels (Spermophilus xanthophrymnus) caught from Niğde province were examined to determine the types and prevalence of eimerian species. Eimerian oocysts were found in 27.6 % of all the samples examined by sucrose-flotation. Four species were recovered from Anatolian ground squirrels, including Eimeria callospermophili (prevalence: 25.7 %), E. morainensis (2.8 %), E. pseudospermophili (1.9 %), and E. lateralis (0.9 %). In a recent review of the coccidian parasites of rodents, Levine and Ivens (4) reported 17 named and two unnamed species of Eimeria from 18 species of ground squirrels, Spermophilus spp. There is little information on the coccidian parasites of squirrels in Turkey (1, 2, 9). In this paper, we report prevalence of coccidia in Anatolian ground squirrel in Niğde province and S. xanthophrymnus to be host for E. pseudospermophili.
