On the occurrence of a haemogregarinae (apicomplexa) parasite from freshwater turtles of south 24 parganas, west bengal, ındia
Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Hindistan’daki tatlısu kaplumbağalarını (Lissemys punctata andersoni, Geoclemys hamiltonii) Hemogregarin parazitler (Apicomplexa: Haemogregarinidae) açısından araştırmaktır. Yöntemler: Kaplumbağalar Hindistan’ın Batı Bengal bölgesindeki iki tatlısu kaynağından ağ ile toplanmıştır. Karapaks altındandaki toplardamardan az miktarda kan alınmıştır. Kan yayma preparatları hava yardımıyla kurutulmuş ve absolü metal alkolde tespit edilmiştir. Preparatlar Giemsa’yla boyanmıştır. Bulgular: Kaplumbağaların eritrositlerinde Hemogregarin parazit saptanmıştır. Kan yayma preparatlarında eritrosit içi gametositlerin çeşitli safhaları (mikrogametositler, makrogametositler, genç şizontlar ve olgun şizontlar) gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuç: İncelenen 25 kaplumbağanın 20’si (%80) parazitle enfektedir. Parazitin yaygınlık oranı büyük kaplumbağalarda küçüklere oranla daha fazladır. Dişi kaplumbağaların erkek kaplumbağalardan daha yüksek enfeksiyon yaygınlığına sahip olduğu da tespit edilmiştir.

Hindistan (batı bengal)’daki tatlısu kaplumbağalarında hemogregarin (apicomplexa) parazitin bulunuşu
Öz: Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate Haemogregarine parasites (Apicomplexa: Haemogregarinidae) of freshwater turtles (Lissemys punctata andersoni, Geoclemys hamiltonii) of India. Methods: Turtles were collected by net from two ponds of South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India. A small amount of blood was taken from the subcarapacial vein puncture site. The blood smears were prepared and air dried and fixed in absolute methyl alcohol. The slides were stained with Giemsa. Results: Haemogregarine parasites were recorded from the erythrocytes of turtles. Multiple stages of intraerythrocytic gametocytes (microgametocytes, macrogametocytes, early schizonts and mature schizonts) were observed in blood films. Conclusion: It was found that only twenty out of the twenty five turtles (80%) were infected with the parasite. The prevalence rate was higher in larger turtles in comparison to smaller ones. It was also found that female turtles had a higher prevalence of infection than males.
