Brucellosis in Horses Around Van, Turkey
(indian veterinary Journal, 2004) Solmaz, H; Tutuncu, M; Akkan, HA; Aksakal, A; Gulhan, T; Boynukara, B
A programme is being carried out in Turkey to eradicate brucellosis from cattle by compulsory slaughtering of positive cases on serological test surveillance. In spite of the very strict application of the programme, the results obtained so far are not satisfactory in respect of eliminating the disease. It seems that it will be very difficult to achieve this goal without considering the disease status in other domestic animals. Brucella abortus is associated with chronic inflammatory conditions including fistulous withers, poll-evil and also joint infection in horses. Consequently, in this study, to evaluate prevalence of brucellosis in horses, a comparative study of standard tube agglutination test (STAT) and Rose Bengal Plate Agglutination Test (RBPT) were carried out on horse sera.
The Effects of Succinlycholine on Some Clinical, Haematological and Biochemical Parameters in Dogs
(indian veterinary Journal, 2004) Akkan, HA; Genccelep, M; Karaca, M; Ceylan, E; Tutuncu, M; Agaoglu, Z; Aytekin, I
Due to increasing population of street dogs the health and life style of human beings are affected. Some methods require chemicals to capture and regulate the stray animals. Succinylcholine is a short-acting depolarising, neuromuscular blocking agent used for capturing animals (Hicks and Bailey, 1978) in the present study the effects of succinyl choline in street dogs have been evaluated.

Nephrotoxic Effect of Amphotericin B Administered in Different Doses and Infusion Mode in Dogs
(Vysoka Skola veterinarni Farmaceuticka, 2003) Ceylan, E; Akkan, HA; Tutuncu, M; Agaoglu, Z
In this study, nephrotoxic effect of Amphotericin B (AmB) was investigated together with clinical, biochemical, and histopathological findings in dogs intoxicated with different doses and methods of administration. 18 healthy cross-bred dogs were allocated to three groups. Amphotericin B diluted with sterile water was used. Dogs in group A (n = 6) were treated with 0.5 mg/kg AmB in 25 ml 5% dextrose as a rapid bolus (4-5 min). Dogs in group B (n = 6) were treated with 1 mg/kg AmB in 50 ml 5% dextrose as a rapid bolus (4-5 min). Dogs in group C (n = 6) were treated with 2 mg/kg AmB in 1000 ml 5% dextrose as a slow infusion (4-5 h). Clinical, haematological and biochemical analyses were made in all dogs before the experiment as well as on the 5(th) and 12(th) days. Haematological and biochemical values recorded before the experiment were compared with those on the 5(th) and 12(th) day. After the third day of the experiment, vomiting, diarrhoea, anorexia, fever, phlebitis, irritability and tachycardia were recorded in all dogs (Groups A, B and C). However, the symptoms recognised were minimum in Group C, moderate in Group A and severe in Group B. There were differences in biochemical values among groups (p < 0.001). Group B was different from Group A and C in haematological parameters (p < 0.05). The most severe histopathologic changes were observed in Group B animals. These results suggest that the toxicity of AmB on kidney could be decreased when it is administered in a long period and more diluted form.

Seronegativity of Equine Infectious Anemia in the East Border of Turkey
(indian veterinary Journal, 2004) Tutuncu, M; Akkan, HA; Karaca, M; Ceylan, E; Berktas, M; Agaoglu, Z
Equine infectious anemia (EIA), colloquially known as swamp fever, mountain fever, slow fever, equine malarial fever and Coggins disease, is a viral disease infecting all members of the Equidae including, horses, ponies, mules, and donkeys. (Sellon, 1993; Nakajima and Sugiura, 1994; Burki et al., 1992). Transmission of the virus requires direct blood transfusion, either by biting insects or other mechanical vectors such as contaminated needles. EIA usually is clinically diagnosed as a chronic disease with a high percentage of affected horses demonstrating weight loss, depression, dependent edema, and reduced haematocrit values, platelet counts, and haemoglobin. The majority of horses infected with EIA virus, however, appear to demonstrate none of the clinical abnormalities (Sellon, loc. cit.; Issel and Foil, 1984; Coggins, 1984). Turkey has a large horse population and, these horses are used for working, racing and breeding. The aim of this study was first to determine whether or not EIA is present in the east border of Turkey. There is no study on EIA in this region at present.

Seroprevalence of Listeria Monocytogenes Infection in Cattle in Van, Turkey
(indian veterinary Journal, 2005) Tutuncu, M; Solmaz, H; Akkan, HA; Karaca, M; Agaoglu, Z
Listeria monocytogenes, the most common pathogenic species of the genus Listeria, causes listeriosis in both people and animals manifested by encephalitis, abortion and septicaemia. The main route of transmission of L. monocytogenes is by ingestion of contaminated food and the disease is particularly common in ruminants fed on silage (Unnerstad et al, 2000; Low and Donachie, 1997). The aim of this study was to determine seroprevelance of L. monocytogenes infection in cattle of the region Van, Turkey using LLO as antigen.
