Abstract

Aim: The present epidemiological investigation was carried outto investigate the status of pigeon haemosporidian parasites intwo districts (Mymensingh and Rangpur), Bangladesh.Materials and Methods: In total, 300 blood samples of pigeonswere examined from January to November, 2016. Blood sampleswere collected from wing vein and thin smears were preparedfrom them. All smears were stained with Giemsa stain and examinedunder microscope.Results: The overall prevalence of haemosporidian parasiteswas 28% (84 /300) in pigeons. Of those, 22.3% (67/300) ofbirds were infected with Haemoproteus spp., 5.7% with Plasmodiumspp. (17/300) and 2.7% with both genera (8/300).The prevalence rate was insignificantly (p = 0.050) higher inMymensingh (34.7%) than in Rangpur (24.2%). Male weremore susceptible (30.8%) than female (25.3%). Adults (29.5%)were more prone to infectione than young (19.6 %). The prevalencewas significantly (p = 0.000) higher in the rainy season(56.1%) followed by summer (33.8%) and winter (10.0%).Conclusion: From this study, it was ascertained that avian malariain pigeons was prevalent in Bangladesh. Therefore, furtherinvestigations with a larger sample size and molecular characterizationof avian malaria species in pigeons of Bangladesh iswarranted.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma, Bangladeş'in iki bölgesinde (Mymensingh ve Rangpur) güvercinlerde haemosporidiyen parazitlerinin durumunu araştırmak için yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Toplamda, Ocak-Kasım 2016 tarihleri arasında 300 güvercinin kan örneği incelendi. Kan örnekleri kanat damarından alındı ve bunlardan ince smearlar hazırlandı. Bütün smearlar Giemsa boyası ile boyandı ve mikroskop altında incelendi. Bulgular: Hemosporidian parazitlerin genel prevalansı, güvercinlerde % 28 (84/300) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bunlardan % 22.3'ü (67/300) Haemoproteus spp.,% 5.7'si (17/300) Plasmodium spp., her iki tür ile enfekte olan ise % 2.7 oranında (8/300) bulunmuştur. Prevalans oranı Mymensingh'de % 34.7, Rangpur'da % 24.2 düzeyinde olup, iki ilçe arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p = 0.050). Erkek güvercinler dişilerden, yetişkinlerin de gençlerden enfeksiyona daha duyarlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yağış mevsiminde, yaz ve kış aylarına göre prevalans anlamlı olarak (p = 0.000) daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Öneri: Bu çalışmayla, Bangladeş'te güvercinlerde sıtmanın yaygın olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bundan dolayı, Bangladeş’te güvercinlerde daha geniş bir örneklemle ve kuş sıtma türlerinin moleküler karakterizasyonu kapsayan daha ileri araştırmalar yapılabilir.
