This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Ligula intestinalis and infections caused by these on freshwater fish in rivers and streams in the Kars plateau of north-eastern Anatolia, Turkey.
This research was conducted between April and July 2011. Fish samples were caught via a casting net and an electro-shocker. The samples were immediately examined to determine the prevalence of L. intestinalis plerocercoids.
In this research, 310 stream fishes were studied to determine the prevalence of L. intestinalis plerocercoids. Detected fishes included 55.8% Capoeta capoeta, 24.2% Squalius cephalus, 11.0% Alburnus filippii, 5.8% Barbus plebejus lacerta, and 3.2% Alburnoides bipunctatus. L. intestinalis plerocercoids were found in 2.6% (8/310) of the examined fishes. The percentage of this parasite was found to be 38.9% (7/18) on B. plebejus lacerta and 0.6% (1/173) on C. capoeta. L. intestinalis plerocercoids were not observed on the other three fish species (S. cephalus, A. filippii, and Al. bipunctatus).
In this study, L. intestinalis plerocercoids were reported for the first time in the Kars stream and its distributaries on the Kars plateau in north-eastern Anatolia, Turkey.
本研究旨在确定土耳其安纳托利亚东北部卡尔斯高原河流和溪流中淡水鱼体内阔节裂头绦虫的感染率及其所致感染情况。
本研究于2011年4月至7月进行。通过撒网和电击器捕获鱼类样本。对样本立即进行检查以确定阔节裂头绦虫裂头蚴的感染率。
本研究共检测了310条溪流鱼类以确定阔节裂头绦虫裂头蚴的感染率。检测到的鱼类包括55.8%的卡氏无须魮、24.2%的头鱼、11.0%的菲利浦氏雅罗鱼、5.8%的普通条鳅和3.2%的双斑原吸鳅。在所检查的鱼类中，2.6%（8/310）发现有阔节裂头绦虫裂头蚴。该寄生虫在普通条鳅上的感染率为38.9%（7/18），在卡氏无须魮上为0.6%（1/173）。在其他三种鱼类（头鱼、菲利浦氏雅罗鱼和双斑原吸鳅）上未观察到阔节裂头绦虫裂头蚴。
本研究首次报道了土耳其安纳托利亚东北部卡尔斯高原卡尔斯溪流及其支流中存在阔节裂头绦虫裂头蚴。
