Title Of Article :
Teladorsagiosis in the abomasums of sheep
Abstract :
In the present study, it is aimed to detect the parasitic species responsible to macroscopic parasitic nodules in abomasums of sheep. Tissue samples taken from lesional areas of abomasums were digested with artificial digestive fluid. Then, Teladorsagia spp. larvae were detected in these tissue samples. Adult parasites collected from the lumen of abomasums were detected as Teladorsagia circumcincta (96,4%) and Haemonchus contortus (3,6%). It is thought to be important to the first report of T.circumcincta nodules in abomasums of sheep in Turkey.
