    Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in anatolian ground squirrels, Spermophilus xanthophrymnus (Rodentia : Sciuridae) from Nigde, Turkey
    (ECOLE NATIONALE VETERINAIRE TOULOUSE, 2004) Karatepe, M; Babur, C; Karatepe, B; Kilic, S; Cakir, M
    Spermophilus xanthophrymnus (Rodentia: Sciuridae), the Anatolian ground squirrel, a wild rodent found in Central Anatolia of Turkey was studied to investigate the prevalence of antibodies to the protozoon parasite Toxoplasma gondii. A total of 105 sera from appearently healthy Anatolian ground squirrels (Spermophilus xanthophrymnus) were tested for T gondii antibodies by the Sabin Feldman Dye Test (SFDT). 12 of 105 (11.4%) Anatolian ground squirrels were found to be seropositive for T gondii antibodies at the titer of 1:16 and over. There was no statistically significant difference between seropositivity rates and genders (p>0.05). In conclusion, this study revealed the existence of T. gondii in the Anatolian ground squirrels (Spermophilus xanthophrymnus). This is the first report on toxoplasmosis in the Anatolian ground squirrels from Turkey.

    Seroprevalance of toxoplasmosis in sheep and goats in the Nigde province of Turkey
    (INDIAN VETERINARY JOURNAL, 2004) Karatepe, B; Babur, C; Karatepe, M; Cakmak, A; Nalbantoglu, S
    Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite causing toxoplasmosis. Infection of T. gondii is subsclinical in sheep and goats. The most common clinical sign of toxoplasmosis in sheep and goats is abortion and neonatal death, which causes economic losses (Dubey, 1994). Various serological tests have been used to detect antibodies to T. gondii. These tests are the Sabin-Feldman Dye Test (SFDT), Complement Fixation (CF), Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test (IFAT), Indirect Hemagglutination (IHA), Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Latex Agglutination Test (LAT). Sabin-Feldman Dye test is considered the most specific and sensitive test for the detection of antibody to T. gondii (Levine, 1985; Dubey and Beattie, 1988; Babur et al., 1996; Kuman and Altintas, 1996). This is an observation made on the seroprevalance of T. gondii infection in sheep and goats in Nigde.
