Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the species of parasites in Guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata) which was brought to Parasitology Laboratory of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Afyon Kocatepe University. The owner of the aquarium informed that sudden and mass deaths were observed in the aquarium and brought some of the dead fish to the laboratory for the examination. In addition to abdominal swelling in the fish, reddish parasites crawling out of the anus were also seen. Some of dead fish underwent examination for diagnostic purposes, the parasites were collected and fixed in 70% alcohol, then cleaned with glycerin and examined under a microscope. Collected parasites are described as Camallanus spp. according to related (Stromberg ve Crites, 1974). No other parasitic infection were found during the examination.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Parazitoloji Anabilim dalı laboratuvarına getirilen Lepistes balıklarında (Poecilia reticulata) gözlenen parazit türlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Akvaryum sahibi akvaryumdaki balıklarda ani ve toplu ölümlerin olduğunu bildirmiş ve ölen balıkların bir kısmını laboratuvara getirmiştir. Balıklarda karın şişkinliğinin yanı sıra anüsten dışarı çıkmış kırmızımsı renkte parazitlerin olduğu görülmüştür. Parazitlerin teşhisi amacıyla balıklar açılarak parazitler toplanmış ve %70 alkolde fikse edilmiş daha sonra glyserin ile temizlenerek mikroskopta incelenmiştir. Toplanan parazitler ilgili literatür (Stromberg ve Crites, 1974) ışığında Camallanus spp. olarak teşhis edilmiştir. Yapılan incelemede başka herhangi bir paraziter enfeksiyona rastlanmamıştır.
