Abstract

A total of 3655 samples collected from people applied to the hospitals with a complaint of tick bite between February 2007 and November 2008 in Aydin Province (Turkey) were examined in the present study. The samples were evaluated in respect to species, sex, development periods, host speciality and seasonal distribution. Of 3655 samples, 14,49 % (n=530) were not ticks. On the other hand, 12,33 % (n=462) of examined samples were comminuted and therefore could not be identified on the basis of genus or species. Results indicated that 9 out of 2664 ticks (0,3%) were Argasidae, while 2655 of them (99,7%) were Ixodidae. Evaluation of the developmental periods of ticks and the distribution of tick species indicated that the majority of the ticks were the nymph of Hyalomma spp. (n=1718), constituting 64,71% of all samples. Results obtained from the present study further indicated Hyalomma marginatum (n=409, 15,40%) as the most common tick species among adult ticks within the Hyalomma spp.

Özet

Bu çalışma da Aydın ilinde (Türkiye) Şubat 2007 ile Kasım 2008 tarihleri arasında, kene tutunma şikayeti ile hastanelere başvuran insanlardan toplanan 3655 örnek incelenmiştir. Keneler tür, cinsiyet, gelişme dönemleri, konak özellikleri ve mevsimsel dağılımları bakımından irdelenmiştir. İncelen örneklerin %14,49unda (n=530) keneye rastlanmamış, ayrıca örneklerin % 12,33ü de (n=462) tür veya soy bazında tanımlanamayacak kadar parçalanmış olduğundan teşhisleri yapılamamıştır. Teşhisi yapılan 2664 kenenin 9unun (% 0,3) Argasidae, 2655inin ise (%99,7) Ixodidae ailesine bağlı olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Kenelerin gelişim dönemi ve tür dağılımlarını belirlemek üzere yapılan değerlendirmelerde sayısal üstünlüğün Hyalomma spp. nimflerine (n=1718) ait olduğu ve toplam örneklerin %64,71 ini oluşturdukları tespit edilmiştir. Erişkin kenelerin tür bazında yapılan incelemelerinde ise en fazla Hyalomma marginatum (n=409, %15,40) türüne rastlanmıştır.
