ÖZAmaç: Haemoproteus spp. güvercinlerde sıkça görülen kan parazitlerindendir. Bu parazitin varlığı Türkiye dahil dünyanın pek çok farklı coğrafi bölgelerindeki güvercinlerden bildirilmiştir. Kırıkkale yöresinde güvercin yetiştiriciliği hobi olarak yapılmaktadır. Bu güvercinlerde Haemoproteus spp.'nin yaygınlığına ilişkin bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Kırıkkale yöresinde hobi amaçlı yetiştirilen taklacı güvercinlerde Haemoproteus spp.'nin yaygınlığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada Şubat-Mart (2016) tarihleri arasında Kırıkkale'nin güvercin yetiştiriciliğinin yoğun olarak yapıldığı, iki farklı bölgesinde (Kırıkkale merkezi ve Yahşihan ilçesi) 173 taklacı güvercin incelenmiştir. Güvercinlerin kanat altı venasından heparinli mikrokapillar tüp aracılığıyla kan örnekleri alınmıştır. Alınan kan örneklerinden yayma froti hazırlanmış ve %5'lik Giemsa ile boyanmıştır. Güvercinlerde bulunan ektoparazitlerin ayrı kapaklı kutulara alınmıştır. Güvercinlere ait epidemiyolojik bilgiler (yaş ve cinsiyet) hayvan sahibi tarafından öğrenilmiş ve kayıt altına alınmıştır. Bulgular: İncelenen 173 güvercinin 23'ü (%13,2) Haemoproteus spp. ile enfekte bulunmuştur. Parazite 1 yaş ve üzeri güvercinlerde %73,9, 1 yaş altı güvercinlerde ise %26,1 oranında rastlanmıştır. Haemoproteus spp. dişilerde %56,6 (13/23), erkeklerde %43,4 (10/23) oranında gö-rülmüştür, enfeksiyon görülmesi bakımından cinsiyete bağlı bir farlılık tespit edilmemiştir (p= 0,821

“…It appears likely that although there is a two‐dimensional geographic overlap with Haemosporidia, ecological or physiological barriers are present that prevent transmission and maintenance of haemosporidian infection in black cockatoos. The presence of haemosporidians infecting psittacines in South America at a prevalence of up to 1.3% in some species suggests an ecological barrier to transmission, rather than physiological incompetence for haemosporidian infection in this order of birds . Little corella ( Cacatua sanguinea ) have been reported to be infected with Plasmodium in Australia, demonstrating the ability of haemosporidian infection to also occur in Australian psittacines.…”

Spillover of avian haemosporidian parasites (Haemosporidia: Plasmodium) and death of captive psittacine species

To the authors' knowledge, these are the first reported cases of Plasmodium in Calyptorhynchus. We hypothesised that the maintenance of these two cockatoo species in ground level aviaries in a low-altitude geographic zone resulted in exposure of birds to mosquito vectors of endemic avian Plasmodium. Black cockatoos roost and forage in the mid to high canopy of forests in the wild, outside the likely spatiotemporal distribution of relevant haemosporidian vectors. It is therefore likely that these birds had immunological naivety and susceptibility to infection with Plasmodium circulating in wild passerines.

Wild animals play an important role in carrying vectors that may potentially transmit pathogens. Several reports highlighted the participation of wild animals on the Anaplasma phagocytophilum cycle, including as hosts of the agent. The aim of this study was to report the molecular detection of an agent phylogenetically related to A. phagocytophilum isolated from a wild bird in the Midwest of the state of Paraná, Brazil. Fifteen blood samples were collected from eleven different bird species in the Guarapuava region. One sample collected from a Penelope obscura bird was positive in nested PCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene of Anaplasma spp. The phylogenetic tree based on the Maximum Likelihood analysis showed that the sequence obtained was placed in the same clade with A. phagocytophilum isolated from domestic cats in Brazil. The present study reports the first molecular detection of a phylogenetically related A. phagocytophilum bacterium in a bird from Paraná State.
