Ectoparasites of the ground squirrel (Citellus citellus (L.)) in Turkey

Öz:

Bu çalışma, Konya yöresinin kırsal bölgelerinden yakalanan, 100 adet tarla sincabının ektoparazitlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Muayene edilen tarla sincaplarının %16'sı, en az bir ektoparazit ile enfekte bulunmuştur. Tarla sincaplarında iki çeşit ektoparazite rastlanmış, % 10'unun pirelerle, % 7'sinin ise kenelerle enfeste olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Muayene edilen tarla sincaplarının üzerinde Nosopsyllus fasciatus %10 ve Pulex irritans %1 oranlarında bulunbuştur. Aynı şekilde, araştırılan Citellus citellus'ların üzerinde Haemaphysalis sp. nimfleri %5, Ixodes sp. ve Ixodes sp. nimfleri %1 oranında tespit edilmiştir. Ektoparazitlerin prevalansı konağın cinsiyet ve yaşı ile ilişkili bulunmamıştır. Türkiye'de yer sincapları nispeten çok az ektoparazit taşımaktadır. Bu araştırma, Türkiye'de tarla sincaplarının (Citellus citellus) ektoparazitleri üzerine yapılan ilk çalışmadır.

Türkiye'de, tarla sincaplarının (Citellus citellus (L.)) ektoparazitleri

Öz:

A total of 100 ground squirrels, Citellus (C.) citellus were trapped in rural regions of Konya in order to determine the presence of ectoparasites. Of these C. citellus examined, 16% (16/100) were infected with at least one ectoparasite species. Two types of ectoparasites were found including 10% fleas and 7% ticks. Only two flea species were found on C. citellus including Nosopsyllus fasciatus 10% (10/100) and Pulex irritans 1% (1/100). Also, only two species of ticks were found on the C. citellus examined. The rate of Haemaphysalis sp. nymphs was found to be 5% (5/100). Both Ixodes sp. adults and Ixodes sp. nymphs were found in 1% (1/100) of the C. citellus examined. The prevalence of ectoparasites showed no specific relationship with the gender and age of the host. Evidently, ground squirrels carry relatively few ectoparasite species in Turkey. This is the first report describing ectoparasites of C. citellus in Turkey
