Abstract

The aim of this report was to determine the clinical, parasitological and pathological findings of giardiasis case in a lamb. The material was a female, one month old lamb in morkaraman breed. The clinical examinations showed that, there are mucoid diarrhea in bad smelled, fatty and sticky nature; additionally tenesmus, dehidration, depression and coordination disorder. In necropsy, fatty and mucoid feaces along with weight loss were determined. During native and examinations using flotation method, Giardia spp. trophozoits were found. Additionally, in histopathological sections of the intestines, villi flattening as well as presence of lymphocytic and eozinophilic infiltrates were detected in the lamina propria. As a result, giardiosis should be considered in diarrhoeic lambs during neonatal period.

Özet

Bu olguda bir kuzuda belirlenen giardiosis enfeksiyonunun klinik, parazitolojik ve patolojik bulgularının bildirilmesi amaçlandı. Olgunun materyalini 1 aylık, dişi, morkaraman bir kuzu oluşturdu. Olgunun klinik muayenesinde, yapışkan karakterde, yağlı, mukuslu ve kötü kokulu bir ishal ile tenesmus, dehidrasyon, depresyon ve koordinasyon bozukluğu tespit edildi. Olgunun nekropsisinde yağlı ve mukuslu dışkı ile zayıflama belirlendi. Olgudan elde edilen dışkı örneğinin natif ve flotasyon yöntemi ile yapılan muayenesinde, Giardia spp. trofozoitleri saptandı. Bağırsakların histopatolojik kesitlerinde, villuslarda kütleşme, villusların lamina propriasında lenfosit ve eozinofil infiltrasyonları tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, neonatal dönemdeki kuzularda görülen ishal olgularında giardiosisin göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiği kanısına varıldı.
