Abstract

Dogs are the most important reservoir of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). A male child who lives in Köseköy in Kocaeli was diagnosed with VL. Since this child had never been outside Kocaeli, serum samples of 65 stray dogs were analyzed for canine VL using the indirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT) and ELISA. Two dogs (3.07%) tested positive with both ELISA and IFAT. Leishmania amastigotes were observed in the lymph aspiration material from one of them. Growth was observed in NNN medium inoculated with lymph aspiration material from the other dog. This was the first study investigating canine VL prevalence in our city and plans were made for control of the disease.

Özet

Visseral leishmaniasis (VL) de en önemli rezervuar, köpeklerdir. Bu çalışmada, Kocaeli ili Köseköy beldesinde yaşayan ve Kocaeli dışına hiç çıkmayan bir yaşındaki erkek çocuğa VL tanısı konulduktan sonra bu bölgedeki köpeklerde leishmaniasis (KanL) prevalansının saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Altmış beş sokak köpeğinden alınan serum örnekleri İndirekt fluoresan antikor testi (IFAT) ve ELISA ile değerlendirilmiştir. IFAT ve ELISA ile iki (%3,07) köpek seropozitif saptanmıştır. Bu iki köpekten alınan lenf aspirasyon materyallerinin birinde Leishmania amastigotları görülmüş, diğerinde görülmemiş ancak NNN besiyerine ekim sonrası üreme olmuştur. İlimizde KanL prevalansını saptamak amacıyla yapılan ilk çalışma olup bu konuya dikkat çekilmek istenmiş ve hastalığın kontrolü için gerekli önlemlerin alınması planlanmıştır.
