| Summary: | <b>Aim: </b>This research was carried out for the purpose of detecting
the helminth fauna of wild birds inhabiting in The
Lake Çavuşçu which is located in Province of Konya, district
of Ilgın in Central Anatolian Region of Turkey and migratory
birds staying in this lake at certain times of the year.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods: </b>One hundred wild birds of 12 species
collected from The Lake Çavuşçu were brought to the
laboratory. The birds were checked for external localized
helminths, the quills were plucked and the helminths that could
be found under the skin were searched. After necropsies,
helminths collected from organs and ingredients were fixed
in %70 hot alcohol. The helminths, which are transparent in
lactophenol, were examined under stereo and fluorescent
microscope, and then species identification was made.<p>
<b>Results: </b>In the research, a total of 33 helminths species,
including 13 trematodes, seven cestodes, 10 nematodes
and three acanthocephalans were identified. Seven of these
species identified (Patagifer bilobus, Petasiger jubilarum,
P. neocomense, P. skrjabini, Confluaria sp., Diorchis stefanskii,
Diploposthe laevis) were recorded for the first time in Turkey.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> As a result of the findings, helminth fauna of
wild birds in Turkey to investigate the effect might have on
domestic poultry it has concluded that more comprehensive
and specific research needs to be done to avian species. |
