Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the Eimeria species of Anatolian ground squirrels (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus). Eimeria spp. oocysts were found in all (100%) of seven fecal samples examined by zinc sulphate flotation method. Eimeria morainensis, E. callospermophili, and E. lateralis were detected in Anatolian ground squirrels in Turkey for the first time.
Özet
Bu çalışma Anadolu yer sincaplarında (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) bulunan Eimeria türlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çinko sülfat yüzdürme yöntemiyle incelenen yedi dışkı numunesinin tamamında (%100) Eimeria spp. oosistleri bulunmuştur. Anadolu yer sincaplarında E. morainensis, E. callospermophili ve E. lateralis türleri Türkiye’de ilk kez tespit edilmiştir.
