Özet
Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin güneybatısında yer alan Antalya yöresinden 2001-2002 yılları arasında toplanan iki dağ kurbağasının (Rana camerani ve Rana macrocnemis) helmintleri incelenmiştir. 15 Rana camerani örneğinin 10 (%66,70)’u ile 20 Rana macrocnemis örneğinin 17 (%85)’sinin bir ya da birden fazla helmintle infekte olduğu tespit edilmiştir. R. camerani’de 4 helmint türü tespit edilmiş olup, bunlardan 3’ü Trematoda’dan Haplometra cylindracea, Pleurogenoides medians, ile Opisthioglyphe rastellus ve biri de Nematoda’dan Cosmocerca ornata’dır; R. macrocnemis’te tespit edilen 3 helmint türünden biri Trematoda’dan H. cylindracea, biri Nematoda’dan C. ornata ve diğeri de Acanthocephala’dan Acanthocephalus ranae’dir. H. cylindracea ve C. ornata her iki dağ kurbağasında da gözlenmiştir.
Abstract
In this study, two mountain frogs (Rana camerani and Rana macrocnemis) were collected in the Antalya Province in south-western Turkey during 2001 and 2002 and were examined for helminths. Out of 15 Rana camerani, 10 (66.7%) were infected with 1 or more helminths and out of 20 Rana macrocnemis, 17 (85%) were infected with 1 or more helminths. The helminth fauna of Rana camerani included 4 species of which were 3 trematode species (Haplometra cylindracea, Pleurogenoides medians, Opisthioglyphe rastellus), and 1 nematode species (Cosmocerca ornata). The helminth fauna of Rana macrocnemis included 3 species with 1 trematode species (H. cylindracea), 1 nematode species (C. ornata), and 1 acanthocephalan species (Acanthocephalus ranae). H. cylindracea and C. ornata were observed in both of the mountain frogs.
