Özet

Bu çalışmanın materyalini 2020-2024 yılları arasında ölü bulunan ve sonrasında ektoparazit incelemesine tabi tutulan kuşlardan (Aves) toplanan ektoparazit örnekleri oluşmaktadır. Bu dönemde 4 ilden 28 yabani kuş incelenmiş, 7 konakta çiğneyici bit, 2 konakda da kene enfestasyonu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada tespit edilen çiğneyici bit türlerinden Acronirmus gracilis, Colpocephalum fregili, Philopterus fortunatus, P. modularis ve P. peripariphilus Türkiye yabani kuşlarınının çiğneyici bit faunası için yeni kayıttır. Ayrıca Arı şahin (Pernis apivorus)'inden tespit edilen Ixodes ricunus, Türkiye kene faunası için yeni bir konak-ektoparazit birlikteliği niteliği taşımaktadır.

Abstract

The material of this study consists of ectoparasitic specimens collected from birds (Aves) that were found dead and subsequently subjected to ectoparasitic examination during 2020-2024. During this period, 28 wild birds from three provinces were examined, chewing lice infestation was detected in seven individual hosts, and tick infestation was detected in two. Among the chewing lice species identified in the study, Acronirmus gracilis, Colpocephalum fregili, Philopterus fortunatus, P. modularis, and P. peripariphilus are new records for chewing lice fauna of wild birds in Türkiye. In addition, Ixodes ricunus detected in the European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) is a new host-ectoparasite association for the tick fauna of Türkiye.
