Deniz B, İstanbul İlinde Tedavi Amaçlı Veteriner Kliniklerine Getirilen Kedilerde Kulak Uyuzu (Otodectes cynotis) Üzerine Araştırma, Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi, Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Veteriner Fakültesi Parazitoloji Anabilim Dalı, Yüksek Lisans Tezi, Van, 2025. Bu çalışma, Eylül 2023-Eylül 2024 tarihleri arasında İstanbul ilinde tedavi amaçlı özel veteriner kliniklerine getirilen kedilerde Otodectes cynotis enfestasyonun görüldüğü kedilerin yaş, cins, ırk gibi düzeylerinin prevalansı belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Toplam 319 kedi muayene edilmiş olup, muayene edilen 83 (%26.01) kedide dış kulak yolu hastalıkları ile enfeste olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kedilerin cinsiyete göre dağılımında 41 (%26.79) erkek, 42 (%25.3) dişi enfeste olarak belirlendi. Cinsiyetler ile sonuçlar (pozitif/negatiflik) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir (P>0.05). Irklara göre dağılımında; 72 (%22.57) Tekir, 9 (%2.82) Scottish Fold, 2 (%0.62) British Shorthair olarak tespit edilmiş olup, muayene edilen İran kedisi ve Mavi Rus kedisinde herhangi enfestasyon tespit edilmedi. İstatistik değerlendirmelere göre Tekir ve diğer kedi ırkları arasında sonuçlar bakımından anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmakta olup, Tekir ırkın pozitiflik oranı diğer kedi ırklarından daha yüksek oranda tespit edildi (P<0.05). Yapılan çalışmada 277 evcil kedide 59 (%21.29) pozitif bulunurken, 42 sokak kedisinden 24 (%57.14) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Yaşam alanına göre sonuçlar(pozitif/negatiflik) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Sokak kedilerinin pozitiflik oranı evcil kedilerin pozitiflik oranından yüksek oranda tespit edildi. Çalışmamızda muayene edilen kedilerin yaş dağılımında; 0-6 aylık kedilerde 27 (%34.17), 6-12 aylık kedilerde 24 (%26.08), 12 aylıktan büyük kedilerde ise 32 (%21.62) oranında enfestasyon tespit edildi. Yaşlar (pozitif/negatiflik) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı. Anahtar kelimeler: İstanbul, Kedi, Otodectes cynotis

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Otodectes cynotis infestation in cats brought to private veterinary clinics for treatment in Istanbul province between September 2023 and September 2024. A total of 319 cats were examined and 83 (26.01%) of the examined cats were determined to be infested with external ear canal diseases. In the distribution of cats by gender, 41 (26.79%) were male and 42 (25.3%) were female. It was found that there was no statistically significant relationship between genders and results (positive/negative) (P>0.05). In the distribution by breeds; 72 (22.57%) were Tabby cats, 9 (2.82%) were Scottish Folds, 2 (0.62%) were British Shorthairs, and no infestation was detected in the examined Persian and Russian Blue cats. According to the statistical evaluations, there is a significant relationship between the results of Tabby and other cat breeds, and the positivity rate of Tabby breed was found to be higher than other cat breeds (P<0.05). In the study, 59 (21.29%) of 277 domestic cats were found to be positive, while 24 (57.14%) of 42 street cats were found to be positive. There is a statistically significant relationship between the results (positivity/negativity) according to lifestyle. The positivity rate of street cats was found to be higher than the positivity rate of domestic cats. In the age distribution of the cats examined in our study; 27 (%34.17) in 0-6 month old cats, 24 (%26.08) in 6-12 month old cats, and 32 (%21.62) in cats older than 12 months were found to have infestation. No statistically significant relationship was found between ages (positivity/negativity). Keywords: Istanbul, Cat, Otodectes cynotis
