Article Prevalence of Paramphistomum Infection in Cattle and Sheep in Van Province, Turkey(versita, 2010) Ozdal, N.; Gul, A.; Ilhan, F.; Deger, S.This study was carried out in naturally infected cattle and sheep from May, 2006 to April 2007 in Van province, in the eastern of Turkey, to assess the prevalence of paramphistomosis. The rumen and reticulum of slaughtered cattle and sheep were collected monthly from abattoirs (Van Municipality of Slaughterhouse) to monitor the seasonal occurrence of paramphistomosis. 447 cattle and 948 sheep were examined, out of which 8.95 and 4.43 % were positive for Paramphistomum infection, with the mean intensity +/- standard error of mean of 97.55 +/- 12.50 and 89.17 +/- 13.02, respectively. The highest infection in the cattle and sheep infected with Paramphistomum spp. was found during the autumn (September to November) (14.10 %, 8.33 %) and fallowed by the summer seasons (June to August) (9.02 %, 5.18 %).Article Serum Copper, Zinc, and Calcium Concentrations in Lice-Infested Sheep(2002) Deger, Y.; Dede, S.; Deger, S.The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in serum concentration of copper, zinc, and calcium in sheep naturally infested with lice (Bovicola caprae, Linognathus africanus, Linognatus ovillus, and Linognattus pedalis). Twenty sheep naturally infested with lice and 20 healthy sheep were used as subjects. Blood samples were collected from the sheep before and 8 and 15 d after treatment with Avermectin, a veterinary antiparasitic drug. The samples were analyzed for their serum copper, zinc, and calcium concentrations by atomic absorption spectrometry. The concentrations of these elements in the infested animals were lower than in the healthy controls, mainly because the general condition of the affected sheep was poor. When the infested animals were treated with an ectoparasitic drug, the serum levels of the studied elements rose to normal ranges while the health of the animals improved.Article Trace Element Levels in the Serum and Liver of Sheep Infected With Fasciola Hepatica(indian veterinary Journal, 2007) Deger, Y.; Deger, S.; Mert, H.The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the serum and liver concentration of copper, zinc, manganese and iron in the sheep naturally infected with Fasciola hepatica.Article Trace Elements Level in the Serum and Liver of Sheep Infected With Fasciola Hepatica(2007) Deger, Y.; Deger, S.; Mert, H.
