Serum samples were obtained from a total of 125 horses and were tested for antibodies to T. equi and B. caballi using the Indirect Fluorescence Antibody Test (IFAT). Twenty-three (18.4%) horses were seropositive for equine piroplasmosis. Anti-T. equi was observed in 16 horses (12.8%) while anti-B. caballi was detected in 12 horses (9.6%). In addition, 5 serum samples were positive for both parasites. The prevalence rates of antibodies to T. equi and B. caballi for female and male horses were statistically indifferent (p=0.19 and 0.90). The difference between the seropositivity rates to T. equi among age groups was statistically insignificant (p=0.44) while the difference to B. caballi among age groups is statistically significant (p=0.01). Seropositivity rates ranged from 2.9% to 25.7% for T. equi and 2.9% to 14.3% for B. caballi from the selected districts in Nigde. A statistically significant difference on seropositivity rates for the study sites was observed for only T. equi (p=0.03). This study indicates that T. equi is higher than B. caballi in Nigde.Öğe Niğde Yöresi Güvercinlerinde (Columba livia) Kan Protozooonlarının Yaygınlığı(2018) Karatepe, Bilge; Karatepe, MustafaAmaç: Bu çalışma, Niğde yöresi evcil ve yabani güvercinlerinde kan protozoonlarının prevalansının saptanması amacı ile yapılmıştır.Yöntemler: Çalışma materyalini Niğde yöresinde 105’i evcil (55 dişi, 50 erkek) ve 111’i yabani (53 dişi, 58 erkek) olmak üzere toplam 216 güvercinoluşturmuştur.

Methods: In total, 40 Musca spp. (20 female and 20 male) were used. Before DNA extraction, the flies were dissected and their heads, wings and legs were detached from their bodies under a stereomicroscope. Genomic DNA was analysed by standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers against Musca beta-tubulin. Afterward, the samples were examined for the presence of Wolbachia spp. using primers against Wolbachia wsp and GroEL. Furthermore, the DNA samples were analysed by PCR to detect the presence of Spiroplasma using primers against the 16S rRNA. Results: No Wolbachia positivity was detected in Musca flies, as shown by the negative PCR results for wsp and GroEL. Spiroplasma positivity was detected in 5% (1/20) of the female Musca flies but not in the male flies (0/20). Conclusion: Wolbachia spp. were not detected in Musca flies. Of the total Musca flies, only one was positive for Spiroplasma spp. To our knowledge, this is the first study to detect the presence of Spiroplasma in Musca flies. © 2021 Turkish Society for Parasitology.
