Abstract

Dicrocoeliosis is a helminthosis caused by the small liver fluke Dicrocoelium spp. (Trematoda, Dicrocoeliidae) parasitizing in the bile ducts and gall bladder of ruminants as well as many other animal species including humans. In the biological life cycle of Dicrocoelium, land snails are first intermediate hosts and ants are second intermediate hosts. Sporocysts and cercaria, which are larval stages, live in the hepatopan- creas of land snails and metacercaria, which is also the larval stage, lives in the abdomen and brain of ants. Land snails, which are the first in- termediate host of this parasite in Turkey, include Helicopsis derbentina, Helicopsis protea, Helicopsis krynickii, Cernuella virgata, Trochoidea pyramidata, Cochicella acuta, Monacha carthusiana, Helicella candicans, Helix aspersa, Helix lucorum, and Chondrus tournefortianus. Di- crocoeliosis is widespread in ruminants and affects their liver, which can lead to weight loss and reduced milk production. The number of reports on dicrocoeliosis is increasing due to the expansion of dry habitats and parasites becoming resistant to antihelminthic drugs. This study provides information on the epidemiology and control methods of Dicrocoelium.

Özet

Dicrocoeliosis, küçük karaciğer kelebeği Dicrocoelium spp. (Trematoda, Dicrocoeliidae)’ nin geviş getiren hayvanlar ve insan da dahil diğerbir çok hayvan türünün safra kanallarında ve safra kesesinde parazitlenmesiyle sebep olduğu helminthosis bir hastalıktır. Dicrocoelium’unbiyolojik yaşam döngüsünde, kara salyangozları birinci ve karıncalar ikinci ara konak olarak görev yaparlar. Kara salyangozlarının hepatopank-reaslarında sporosist ve serkarya larval safhaları, karıncaların abdomen ve beyinlerinde metaserkarya larval safhası yaşamaktadır. Türkiye’debu parazite birinci ara konaklık yapan kara salyangozları Helicopsis derbentina, H. protea, H. krynickii, Cernuella virgata, Trochoidea pyrami-data, Cochicella acuta, Monacha carthusiana, Helicella candicans, Helix aspersa, H. lucorum ve Chondrus tournefortianus’tur. Özellikle gevişgetiren hayvanlarda yaygın olan bu parazitik hastalık, karaciğeri etkileyerek hayvanlarda kilo kaybına ve süt üretiminin azalmasına neden ola-bilmektedir. Kurak habitatların genişlemesi ve parazitin antihelmintik ilaçlara direnç kazanması nedeniyle dicrocoeliosis kayıtları artmaktadır.Bu çalışma Dicrocoelium’un epidemiyolojisi ve kontrol yöntemleri ile ilgili bilgiler içermektedir.
