Abstract

Objective The aim of this field study was to detect the therapeutic efficacy of oral clinoptilolite in lambs with giardiasis. Methods: A total of fourteen lambs naturally infected with G. duodenalis at the age of 23 to 56 days, of both sexes were enrolled into the study from a lamb farm located in Aydin province. Diagnosis was based on rapid diagnositc test kits with ELISA principle. Lambs with giardiasis were randomly assigned into two groups (n=7), group I [1 g/kg clinoptilolite for 10 days or group II [were left as control without receiving any drug]. Therapeutic efficacy of clinoptilolite was determined by microscopical examination of faecal samples collected rectally on days 0 and 10. Results: Comparison of control and treatment intragroups revealed 97,2% reduction (p 0˂0,05) for cyst excretion in clinoptilolite treated group. Conclusion: In conclusion, it may be safey suggested that oral clinoptilolite administration for 10 days effectively reduct cyst excretion with antiparasitic efficacy among lambs with giardiasis.

Özet

Amaç: Bu saha çalışması giardiasisli kuzularda oral yolla uygulanan klinoptilolitin etkinliğinin belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirildi. Yöntemler: Aydın ili sınırlarında yer alan özel bir işletmede ishal mevcut ve G. duodenalis ile doğal enfekte her iki cinsiyetten ve 23-56 günlük yaştaki 14 kuzu değerlendirildi. Tanı amacıyla ELISA prensibi ile çalışan hızlı tanısal test kitleri yapıldı. Giardiazisli kuzular her grupta n=7 olarak rastgele I. gruba [1 g/kg dozda 10 gün oral yolla klinoptilolit uygulanırken] ya da II. gruba [ilaç uygulaması yapılmaksızın kontrol grubu] ayırıldı. Klinoptilolitin sağaltım etkinliği 0. ve 10. günlerde rektal yolla elde edilen dışkı örneklerinin mikroskobik muayenesiyle değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Kontrol ve sağaltım grupları arasında karşılaştırmalarda 10. günde klinoptilolit ile sağaltılan grupta kist atılımında % 97,2’lik azalma belirgindi (p 0˂0,05). Sonuç: Giardiazisli kuzularda oral yolla 10 gün uygulanan klinoptilolitin kist atılımını etkin şekilde azalttığı ve antiparaziter etkinlik sağladığı görüldü.
