| Özet |
| Leucocytozoon, Haemoproteus and Plasmodium spp. are vector-borne protozoan blood parasites of domestic and wild birds and called avian haemosporidians (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida). There have been many studies on the haemosporidians of wild birds, especially in the Passeriformes order around the world. However to the best knowledge of the authors no data has beenpublished about the prevalence and characterization of haemosporidians that infect domestic geese (Anser anser domesticus). In the present study, a total of 400 domestic geese blood samples from Kars Province, Northeastern Turkey were investigated for the presence of avian haemosporidians using traditional microscopic and molecular methods. From the microscopic examination, a total of 58 (14.5%), 48 (12%) and 94 (23.5%) samples were found positive for Haemoproteus spp., Plasmodium spp., and Leucocytozoon spp., respectively. Molecular analyses revealed that 145 (36.25%) and 148 (37%) of the examined blood samples from the domestic geese were infected with Haemoproteus/ Plasmodium and Leucocytozoon spp., respectively. Sequence analysis of the isolates also revealed two new lineages within Haemoproteus and Plasmodium spp. which were found to be close to the lineages reported from the avian species in Anceriformes order. The obtained sequences from Leucocytozoon isolates were identical to the TUSW04 lineage which was reported from some Anas species in Anceriformes order. To the best of our knowledge this study has provided the first data on the prevalence and molecular characterization of the avian haemosporidians that infect domestic geese. |
