SummaryThis study consisted of twenty-five dermatophytotic cattle, aged 1.5-11 months obtained from Kars province and its surrounding, diagnosed as dermatophytosis following clinical and microbiologically. All animals were divided into two groups; trial group (n=15) and control group (n=10). The skin lesions of the trial animals were treated using a pomade containing 1% tioconazole once daily for a period of 5 days. In 12 of the trial animals the amount of keratinized tissue found in the dermatophytosis lesions decreased significantly following the 3 rd application and had disappeared completely after the 5 th application. On the other hand, the remaining 3 animals in the trial group were applied the medicament seven times due to the persistence of keratinized tissue in the lesions. In all of the animals administered with tioconazole, new hair growth in the site of the lesions resumed in the 3 rd -4 th weeks and complete recovery occurred within 7-8 weeks. In conclusion, 1% tioconazole, used for the first time for the treatment of bovine dermatophytosis in this study was found to be rather effective owing to its ease of application and strong therapeutic effect. Keywords: Cattle, Dermatophytosis, Tioconazole Sığır Dermatofitozisinin Tedavisinde %1'lik Tiokonazol'ün Lokal Kullanımının Etkinliği ÖzetÇalışma materyalini, Kars ve çevre köylerinden sağlanan, 1,5-11 aylık yaşta, klinik ve mikrobiyolojik olarak dermatofitozis tanısı konulan 15 deneme ve 10 kontrol olmak üzere, toplam 25 sığır oluşturdu. Deneme grubundaki hayvanların derilerindeki lezyonların üzerine %1 tiokonazol içeren kremden 5 gün boyunca günde 1 kez sürüldü. Deneme grubundaki hayvanlardan 12'sinde 3. uygulamayı takiben, dermatofitoz lezyonlarındaki keratinize dokuların büyük oranda azaldığı, 5. uygulama sonunda ise tamamen kaybolduğu görülürken 3 hayvanda keratinize doku dökülmediği için 7. uygulamaya gidildi. İlaç uygulanan tüm hayvanlarda lezyonlu bölgelerde 3-4. haftalarda kıllanmanın başladığı, 7-8. haftalarda ise tamamen iyileştiği görüldü. Sonuç olarak, sığırlarda dermatofitozis olgularının tedavisinde ilk olarak denenen %1'lik tiokonazol'ün, kullanımının kolay olması ve tedavi edici etkisinin yüksek olması nedeniyle, sığırlarda dermatofitozis olgularının sağaltımında oldukça etkili bulunmuştur.
Paratuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map), is one of the most prevalent and costly infectious diseases of livestock, particularly sheep and cattle herds. The aim of this study was to estimate true animal, within-herd, and between-herd prevalence of Map antibodies in sheep herds of the Kars Region in the Northeast part of Turkey. A seroprevalence study was carried out using a commercial ELISA kit. Twenty six sheep herds, non-vaccinated against Map, were randomly selected in different regions and in total 450 sheep aged 24 months and more were sampled. Herds were declared positive if one or more sheep in the herd tested positive for Map antibodies. The animal, within-herd, and between-herd apparent prevalences were calculated as 6.2% (95% CI = 4.3 to 8.8%), 10.2% (95 CI = 7.1 to 14.3%) and 57.7% (95% CI = 38.9 to 74.5%), respectively. True prevalences were estimated by conversion from apparent prevalences via the Rogan-Gladen estimator. True animal, within-herd, and between-herd prevalences were calculated as 8.3% (95% CI = 4.7 to 11.8), 14.6% (95 CI = 8.9 to 20.2) and 90% (95 CI = 59.8 to 120.1), respectively. The results provide useful information regarding the prevalence of Map infection in sheep herds in the Kars Region and will hopefully attract the special attention of veterinarians and promote the establishment of an efficient control programme.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the brucellosis related knowledge and attitude of animal breeding people live in the region of number IV. Primary Health Care Center of Kars. METHODS: Between May and June 2010, there were 97 participants involved in this descriptive study. The data were gathered by using a structured questionnaire that was fi lled during face to face interview. Data were evaluated by using SPSS 11.5 statistics program. RESULTS: The analyses of the study population showed that 84% of the participants were making fresh cheese from raw milk, 19% were consuming cheese as fresh, 66% were making raw butter from raw cream, 66% had previous knowledge of brucellosis, 35% had animals which had thrown kittens, 32% had animals with stillbirth, and 4% were previously informed about brucellosis. CONCLUSION: Brucellosis is not a well-known disease among animal breeding people in Kars. In order to eradicate brucellosis, generalized education programs particularly dealing with the disease spread and prevention are needed.
The prevalence of brucellosis was investigated in horses in Kars and Ardahan Districts of Turkey between [2008][2009][2010]. In order to achieve this, a total of 361 horse serum samples from 23 different villages were examined for Brucella antibodies by Rose Bengal Plate Test and Serum Agglutination Test. Of the 361 sera obtained from horses, 48 (13.29%) were determined positive by RBPT and 52 (14.40%) by SAT. The positive titers varied between 1/40 and 1/320 for brucellosis by SAT. Among the positive samples, the titers were 1/40 in 24, 1/80 in 6, 1/160 in 18 and 1/320 in 4 samples.
