Nigde Yoresi Guvercinlerinde in Nigde Province
Amaç: Bu çalisma, Nigde yöresi evcil ve yabani güvercinlerinde kan protozoonlarinin prevalansinin saptanmasi amaci ile yapilmistir. Yöntemler: Çalisma materyalini Nigde yöresinde 105'i evcil (55 disi, 50 erkek) ve 111'i yabani (53 disi, 58 erkek) olmak üzere toplam 216 güvercin olusturmustur. Bu güvercinlerin kanat alti venasindan (vena cutanea ulnaris) kan alinarak her güvercin için kan frotileri hazirlanmis ve mikroskopta kan protozoonlari yönünden incelenmistir. Bulgular: Muayenesi yapilan 216 güvercinin 107'si (%49,54) Haemoproteus columbae ile enfekte bulunmustur. Mikroskobik incelemelerde, 105 evcil güvercinin 9'unda (%8,57) ve 111 yabani güvercinin 98'inde (%88,29) H. columbae saptanmistir. Haemoproteus columbae enfeksiyonunun pozitifligi, istatistiksel olarak evcil ve yabani güvercinler arasinda önemli bulunmustur (p<0,01). Haemoproteus columbae ile enfekte 107 güvercinde ortalama parazitemi orani %2,85 olarak tespit edilmistir. Mikroskobik muayenesi yapilan kan frotilerinde Plasmodium, Leucocytozoon ve Trypanosoma türlerine rastlanmamistir. Sonuç: Nigde yöresinde evcil ve yabani güvercinlerinde H. columbae varligi ilk kez bu çalisma ile bildirilmistir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Haemoproteus columbae, kan protozoonu, güvercin, Nigde Objective: The study was conducted to detect the prevalence of haemoprotozoan parasites in the domestic and wild pigeons in Nigde province. Methods: The study material included a total of 216 pigeons, which comprised 105 domestic (55 females, 50 males) and 111 wild (53 females, 58 males) pigeons belonging to Nigde province. Smears were prepared using the blood collected from the vena cutanea ulnaris of the pigeons and then examined for the presence of haemoprotozoan parasites under a light microscope using immersion objective. Results: The microscopic examination of the smears showed that 107 (49.54%) of the 216 pigeons were infected with Haemoproteus columbae. The samples collected from 9 (8.57%) of the 105 domestic pigeons and 98 (88.29%) of the 111 wild pigeons were positive for H. columbae. The positivity rates of H. columbae between the domestic and wild pigeons were calculated to be statistically significant (p<0.01). The average level of parasitaemia in the 107 pigeons infected with H. columbae was detected to be 2.85%. On the other hand, Plasmodium, Leucocytozoon, and Trypanosoma species were not observed in the blood smears of the pigeons. Conclusion: This is the first survey regarding H. columbae performed on the domestic and wild pigeons in Nigde province. Keywords: Haemoproteus columbae, haemoprotozoan, pigeon, Nigde
