Abstract

Rumen contents obtained from 10 adult domestic sheep (Ovis ammon aries L.) at a slaughterhouse in Lapethos-Kyrenia (Girne), Northern Cyprus were surveyed for entodiniid ciliate protozoa. As a result of our survey 27 species, including 33 forms, were identified. An unusual form of Entodinium was observed in 2 sheep and is described as a new species, E. cypriensis sp. nov. Its relationship to similar Entodinium species is discussed. This study also reports new host records for E. imai, E. oektemae, E. ogimotoi, E. quadricuspis, E. rectangulatum f. dubardi, and E. rostratum. Furthermore, we report for the second time the presence of E. biconcavum, E. costatum, E. dalli f. rudidorsospinatum, E. protuberans, E. rectangulatum f. lobosospinosum, E. simulans f. lobosospinosum, E. triacum f. dextrum, E. williamsi f. williamsi, and E. w. f. turcicum in sheep hosts. All species detected in this study are first reports in Cypriot sheep hosts. The entodiniid ciliate fauna of Cypriot domestic sheep appears to have greater diversity compared to those of sheep in different geographical locations (Turkey, China, Japan, Scotland, USA, Canada, and Alaska).

Özet

Kuzey Kıbrıs, Lapta Belediyesi Salhanesi (Girne)’nden elde edilen 10 ergin evcil koyunun (Ovis ammon aries, L.) işkembe içerikleri entodiniid siliyat protozoonlar açısından araştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda 33 form ve bu formların dahil olduğu 27 tür tespit edilmiştir. İki koyunda Entodinium’a dahil alışılmış türler haricinde yeni bir tür gözlemlenmiş ve E. cypriensis sp. nov. olarak tanımlanmıştır. Benzer Entodinium türleriyle olan akrabalığı tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca E. imai, E. oektemae, E. ogimotoi, E. quadricuspis, E. rectangulatum f. dubardi ve E. rostratum türleri için yeni bir konak tür kaydı rapor edilmiştir. Bunların ötesinde E. biconcavum, E. costatum, E. dalli f. rudidorsospinatum, E. protuberans, E. rectangulatum f. lobosospinosum, E. simulans f. lobosospinosum, E. triacum f. dextrum, E. williamsi f. williamsi ve E. w. f. turcicum’un koyunlarda ikinci kez belirlenmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada belirlenen bütün türler, Kıbrıs koyunları için ilk kez rapor edilmişlerdir. Kıbrıs evcil koyunundaki entodiniid siliyat faunası, farklı coğrafi bölgelerde (Türkiye, Çin, Japonya, İskoçya, USA, Kanada ve Alaska) yaşayan koyunlardakilerle karşılaştırıldığında yüksek bir tür çeşitliliğine sahip olduğu görülür.
