“…Zeleke and Bekele (2004) reported A. variegatum from camel at a prevalence of 1.8%. This tick species was also reported by Banaja and Ghandour (1994) and Lawal et al (2007) in camel from Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, respectivly. Amblyomma gemma was also found at a prevalence of 22.9% in this study.…”

This cross-sectional study was carried out in Raya Azebo district with the objective of determining the prevalence and species diversity of hard ticks encountered in camels. During the study period, a total of 384 camels were examined and 96.6% of them were found infested with ticks. A total of 15,723 ticks were collected from half body regions of infected camels during the study period. The average tick burden from half body region of camels was 42.4 ± 19.63. In this study four genera and ten species of hard ticks were identified. The genera identified were Amblyomma (11.11%), Boophilus (1.8%), Hyalomma (23.32%) and Rhipicephalus (61.77%). The tick species identified during the study period were Amblyomma variegatum, Boophilus decolaratus, Amblyomma cohaerence, Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi, Rhipicephalus pulchelis, Amblyomma gemma, Amblyomma lepidum, Hyalomma rufipes, Hyalomma dromedarii and Hyalomma truncatum at a prevalence of 22.9, 16.7, 23.2, 41.5, 92.7, 7.8, 3.4, 47.4, 42.7 and 8.9%, respectively. Further study and appropriate control measures are recommended to improve the health and productivity of camel.

“…The most common coccidiosis factor in camels, Eimeria cameli [16][17][18][19] , was detected by 11.9% in the current study. Although the animals in the current study were between the ages of 7 and 18 and coccidiosis would not expected to occur, it is especially crucial for animal owners to take necessary precautions considering the fact that infected animals are carriers for young camels.…”

SummaryFirst historical findings on camel wrestling, which is now practiced as a festival in Turkey, particularly in certain regions (Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean) date back to the 15 th century. In terms of animal husbandry, parasitic diseases may result in negative outcomes ranging from loss of performance to death for camels. In the present study, annual camel wrestling arenas were visited between December and March (2010-2011), and stool samples were collected from camels from different cities for parasitological analysis. Stool samples of 109 camels from 7 different cities (Aydin, Izmir, Manisa, Denizli, Mugla, Balikesir, and Canakkale) were examined using Baermann-Wetzel stool culture, flotation, and sedimentation techniques for the parasites that live in gastrointestinal tract. The analyses revealed that 74% of the camels (81 of 109) were infected with one or more parasites: Trichostrongylus spp. (1.8%), and Paramphistomum spp. (0.9%). 16 different parasites, at the level of species and genus, were found, of which 14 were helminth (11 nematodes, 3 trematodes), and 2 were protozoans. The present study was the first to report Ostertagia spp., Fasciola spp. Dictyocaulus viviparus, Haemonchus spp., Oesophagostomum spp., Cooperia spp., Cooperia oncophora, Chabertia ovina and Paramphistomum spp. in camels in Turkey. As high as 74 percent of the incidence of parasitic diseases and the wide variety of parasites found in the present study suggest that parasitic infections may be overlooked entity in wrestling camels that are meticulously brought up. Keywords: Camel, Helminth, Protozoon, Turkey Güreş Develerinde Dışkı Bakılarına Göre Saptanan Parazitler ÖzetDeve güreşlerinin tarihine ilişkin ilk bulgular 15. yüzyıla ait olup, günümüzde Türkiye'nin özellikle belli bölgelerinde (Marmara, Ege ve Akdeniz Bölgeleri) festival havasında yapılan etkinlikler şeklindedir. Yetiştirilme hedefleri doğrultusunda paraziter hastalıklar, bu hayvanlarda performans kayıplarından başlayıp ölüme kadar gidebilen değişik derecelerde olumsuzluklara neden olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Aralık-Mart ayları arasındaki dönemlerde her yıl düzenlenen deve güreşi alanlarına gidilmiş (2010)(2011), değişik illerden gelen develerden dışkı örnekleri alınmış ve parazitolojik açıdan incelenmiştir. 7 ayrı ilden (Aydın, İzmir, Manisa, Denizli, Muğla, Balıkesir, Çanakkale) gelen toplam 109 hayvandan alınan dışkı örnekleri Baerman Wetzel, dışkı kültürü, fl otasyon ve sedimentasyon metotları uygulanarak sindirim sistemi ve ilişkili organlarda bulunan parazitler açısından muayeneleri yapılmıştır. Yapılan incelemelerde develerin %74'ü (81/109) bir ya da daha fazla parazitle enfekte bulunmuş olup; Trichostrongylus spp. %47.7, Ostertagia spp. %27.5, Dicrocoelium spp. %24.7, Trichuris spp. %11.9, Eimeria cameli %11.9, Capillaria spp. %6.4, Fasciola spp. %6.4, Dictyocaulus viviparus %5.5, Haemonchus spp. %4.5, Oesophagostomum spp. %4.5, Cooperia spp. %4.5, Cooperia oncophora %3.6, Nematodirus spp. %3.6, Chabertia ovina %2.7, Eimeria spp. %1.8, Paramphistomum spp....

ÖZETBu derleme yayının amacı develerde bulunan başlıca protozoon, artropod ve helmint parazitleri gözden geçirmek, Türkiye'de deve parazitleri ile ilgili yayınları değerlendirmektir. Dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde trichostrongylose, uyuz, burun myiasisi ve trypanosomiasis develerde en çok rastlanan paraziter hastalıklardır. Echinococcus granulosus'un larvası olan kist hidatik de develerde ekonomik açıdan ve halk sağlığı açısından önem taşımaktadır. Türkiye'de popülasyonu belirgin bir şekilde azalan develerin parazitleri ile ilgili kayıtların da çok sınırlı olduğu vurgulanmıştır. ABSTRACTThe aim of this review is overview the main protozoan, arthropoda and helminthic parasites seen in camels and to evaluate the publications related to camel parasites in Turkey. In different parts of the world, trichostrongylose, mange, nasal myiasis and trypanosomiasis are the most common parasitic diseases found in camels. Hydatic cyst larval stage of E. granulosus is important both economically and in terms of public health. It is also emphasized that the records concerning parasites of the Turkish camel population, which is decreasing significantly, are extremely limited. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2011; 35: 57-60)
