Özet:

 The aim of this study was to obtain epidemiological data on gastrointestinal and haemoparasites in cattle raised in Burdur province. Blood and fecal samples were collected from 578 randomly selected cattle, with at least 50 animals sampled from each of the 11 districts in the province. Samples were examined microscopically for various parasitic agents and their developmental stages using conventional parasitological methods. Among the animals tested, 125 were positive for at least one parasitic agent or developmental form, resulting in an overall parasitological positivity rate of 21.62. The prevalence of blood and gastrointestinal parasites was 9.86 57578 and 14 85578, respectively. The most frequently detected parasites, regardless of single or mixed infections, were Theileria spp. piroplasms 8.65, followed by Eimeria spp. oocysts 7.61, Trichostrongylidae spp. eggs 6.4, Dicrocoelium dendriticum eggs 2.07, Anaplasma spp. 1.73, and Marshallagia spp. eggs 0.34. The least prevalent were Fasciola spp., Nematodirus spp., Moniezia spp. eggs, and Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts, each detected at 0.17 1578. District-level positivity rates varied, with Yeşilova 50 and Karamanlı 48 showing the highest prevalence, followed by Çavdır 38.18, Altınyayla 26, Gölhisar 21.56, Tefenni 14, Bucak 11.11, Kemer 10, Merkez 10, Ağlasun 9.61, and Çeltikçi 3.57.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, Burdur ilinde yetiştirilen sığırlarda gastrointestinal ve hemoparazitlere ilişkin epidemiyolojik veriler elde etmektir. Bu amaçla, ilin 11 ilçesinin her birinden en az 50 hayvan olmak üzere, toplamda rastgele seçilen 578 sığırdan kan ve dışkı örnekleri toplanmıştır. Örnekler, çeşitli paraziter etkenler ve gelişim evreleri açısından konvansiyonel parazitolojik yöntemlerle mikroskobik olarak incelenmiştir. İncelenen hayvanlardan 125i en az bir paraziter etken veya gelişim evresi açısından pozitif bulunmuş ve bu da genel parazitolojik pozitiflik oranının 21,62 olduğunu göstermiştir. Kan ve gastrointestinal parazitlerin prevalansı sırasıyla 9,86 57578 ve 14 85578 olarak belirlenmiştir. Tekli veya karışık enfeksiyon olup olmadığına bakılmaksızın en sık tespit edilen parazitler sırasıyla 8,65 ile Theileria spp. piroplazmları, 7,61 ile Eimeria spp. ookistleri, 6,4 ile Trichostrongylidae spp. yumurtaları, 2,07 ile Dicrocoelium dendriticum yumurtaları, 1,73 ile Anaplasma spp. ve 0,34 ile Marshallagia spp. yumurtaları olmuştur. En düşük prevalans ise her biri 0,17 1578 ile Fasciola spp., Nematodirus spp., Moniezia spp. yumurtaları ve Cryptosporidium spp. ookistlerinde tespit edilmiştir. İlçelere göre pozitiflik oranları incelendiğinde en yüksek oranlar Yeşilova 50 ve Karamanlı 48 ilçelerinde gözlenmiş; bunları Çavdır 38,18, Altınyayla 26, Gölhisar 21,56, Tefenni 14, Bucak 11,11, Kemer 10, Merkez 10, Ağlasun 9,61 ve Çeltikçi 3,57 takip etmiştir.
