Abstract

A four-year-old Kangal dog with hundreds of ixodid ticks in the head and neck regions and a large number of myiasis larvae in the anal regionwere brought to Selcuk University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine. A paralysis covering the anterior and posteriorextremites, except the head region was determined in the dog. It was suspected that the paralysis was caused by ticks on the dog after elimination ofsome other disease. However, no definitive diagnosis was made for paralysis. Collected ticks were identified as Rhiphicephalus sanguineus (Latreille,1806). The myiasis larvae collected from the anal region were identified as second and third instars of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819). As aresult, it is suggested that C. albiceps and Rh. sanguineus should be considered in the etiology of myiasis and tick paralysis cases, respectively.

Özet

Baş ve boyun bölgesinde yüzlerce kene ve anal bölgesinde çok sayıda miyaz larvası bulunan dört yaşında kangal köpek Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi, İç Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalına getirilmiştir. Köpekte baş bölgesi dışında ön ve arka ekstremiteleri kapsayan bir paraliz tespit edilmiştir. Bu paraliz durumuna diğer bazı hastalıkların eliminasyonundan sonra kenelerin sebep olduğundan şüphe edilmiş, fakat kesin bir tanı konulamamıştır. Toplanan keneler Rhiphicephalus sanguineus (Latreille, 1806) olarak teşhis edilmiştir. Anal bölgeden toplanan miyaz larvaları ise ikinci ve üçüncü dönem Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819) olarak teşhis edilmişlerdir. Sonuç olarak, C. albiceps’in miyaz vakalarının, Rh. sanguineus’un ise paraliz vakalarının etiyolojisinde düşünülmesi gerektiği ileri sürülmüştür.
