Bu çalışma, Kasım-Aralık 2015 tarihleri arasında Kars ilinde yetiştirilen kazlar üzerinde yürütülmüş ve bu kazlarda Toxoplasma gondii enfeksiyonlarının seroprevalansının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, toplam 400 kazın Vena cutanea ulnaris'inden kanat altı venasından kan alınarak 4000 rpm'de on dakika süreyle santrifüj edilerek serumlar elde edilmiştir. Serum örnekleri anti-Toxoplasma gondii antikorlarının tespiti için ticari bir Lateks Aglütinasyon Test (LAT) kiti ile incelenmiş ve örneklerden bir tanesi (%0,25) seropozitif bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma ile Kars yöresinde kazlarda ilk kez Toxoplasma gondii enfeksiyonunun varlığı tespit edilmiştir.

European brown hare ( Lepus europaeus, EBH) is probably the most important game animal in Europe throughout its historical distribution. The decline in its populations across its geographic range in Europe have been attributed to factors such as reproductive rate and the ability for adaptation, climate, feed availability, predators, anthropogenic factors and diseases. Apart from common diseases of hares with a high impact on their mortality such as European Brown hare Syndrome, EBH has been involved in the epidemiology of pathogens with zoonotic potential. In this work, the role of EBH as a source of Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), Hepatitis E virus (HEV), Yersinia spp., Brucella spp., Francisella tularensis , Toxoplasma gondii and Leishmania infantum is discussed. Hares may significantly contribute to the epidemiology of important emerging zoonotic pathogens through maintenance of high endemicity levels as in the case of CCHFV, as a reservoir of important pathogens such as Yersinia spp., B. suis , F. tularensis and L. infantum and as a potential source of T. gondii for other animals, especially for carnivores but also for humans. However, EBH may also be a host of minor importance as in the case of HEV. The continuous surveillance of hare populations will enable the collection of information on the population health status and the pathogens currently circulating in the area posing risk for wildlife, domestic animals and humans. The possible live animal translocations of infected hares, the fact that this species acts as a host of vectors (fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and sandflies) and the prey of carnivores and omnivores that travel in great distances getting into contact with domestic animals and humans, further highlights the need to be included in surveillance studies. Besides, the hunter‐harvested EBH population is an excellent indicator for recent pathogen transmission due to its short lifespan.
