Prevalence of toxoplasma gondii Antibodies in domestic (Columba livia domestica) and wild (Columba livia livia) pigeons in Niğde region, Turkey

Öz:

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Niğde yöresinde evcil (Columba livia domestica) ve yabani (Columba livia livia) güvercinlerde Toxoplasma gondii’nin seroprevalansının saptanması amacı ile yapılmıştır. Yöntemler: Bu amaçla Ekim 2003-Haziran 2004 tarihleri arasında Niğde yöresinden 105’i evcil (53 dişi, 58 erkek) toplam 216 güvercinden kan alınmış ve serumları çıkarılmıştır. Elde edilen serumlar T. gondii antikorları açısından Sabin-Feldman boya testi ile incelenmişlerdir. Bulgular: Test sonucunda 105 evcil güvercinin 1’i (%0.95) ve 111 yabani güvercinin 1’i (%0.90) 1/16 T. gondii antikorları yönünden titrede seropozitif bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, Niğde ilinde evcil ve yabani güvercinlerdeki toxoplasmosis üzerine yapılan ilk serolojik çalışmadır.

Niğde yöresinde evcil (Columba livia domestica) ve yabani güvercinlerde (Columba livia livia) toxoplasma gondii antikorlarının prevalansı

Öz:

Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii specifi c antibodies in domestic (Columba livia domestica) and wild (Columba livia livia) pigeons between October 2003-June 2004. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 216 pigeons, consisting of 105 (55 female, 50 male) domestic pigeons and 111 (53 female, 58 male) wild pigeons. The sera were tested for T. gondii antibodies using the Sabin Feldman Dye Test (SFDT). Results: One of the 105 (0.95%) domestic pigeon and one of the 111 (0.90%) wild pigeon were found to be seropositive for T. gondii antibodies at the titer of 1:16. Conclusion: This is the fi rst serological study on toxoplasmosis in the domestic and wild pigeon in the Niğde region of Turkey.
