Article Prevalence of Cryptosporidiosis in Goats of Van Province Turkey(indian veterinary Journal, 2006) Goz, Yasar; Ceylan, Ebubekir; Aydin, AbdulalimCryptosporidium is a minute coccidian protozoon belonging to phylum Apicomplexa. Twenty species of this parasite have been described from a variety of vertebrates including mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. Development of the Cryptosporidium occurs within the brush border. of the epithelial cells of the intestine. Sporulated oocysts, containing four sporozoits are passed in the faeces and are transmitted by ingestion (Markell, et al., 1992). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Cryptosporidiosis in goats in province Van. This paper is the first report on the prevalence of Cryptosporidiosis in goats in Van province, eastern Turkey.Article Ticks and Fleas Infestation on East Hedgehogs (Erinaceus Concolor) in Van Province, Eastern Region of Turkey(Iranian Scientific Society Medical Entomology, 2016) Goz, Yasar; Yilmaz, Ali Bilgin; Aydin, Abdulalim; Dicle, YalcinBackground: Ixodid ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and fleas (Siphonaptera) are the major vectors of pathogens threatening animals and human healths. The aim of our study was to detect the infestation rates of East Hedgehogs (Erinaceus concolor) with ticks and fleas in Van Province, eastern region of Turkey. Methods: We examined fleas and ticks infestation patterns in 21 hedgehogs, collected from three suburbs with the greater of number gardens. In order to estimate flea and tick infestation of hedgehogs, we immobilized the ectoparasites by treatment the body with a insecticide trichlorphon (Neguvon (R)-Bayer). Results: On the hedgehogs, 60 ixodid ticks and 125 fleas were detected. All of the ixodid ticks were Rhipicephalus turanicus and all of the fleas were Archaeopsylla erinacei. Infestation rate for ticks and fleas was detected 66.66 % and 100 %, respectively. Conclusion: We detected ticks (R. turanicus) and fleas (A. erinacei) in hedgehogs at fairly high rates. Since many ticks and fleas species may harbor on hedgehogs and transmit some tick-borne and flea-borne patogens, this results are the important in terms of veterinary and public health.
