Cardiac Troponin I Levels in Dogs with Dirofilariosis and without Dirofilariosis
(Academic Journals Inc, 2011) Gazyagci, Serkal; Dogru, Mehmet Tolga; Yagci, Bugrahan Bekir
Differences about Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) levels between the dogs without dirofilariasis were investigated in this study. There were statistically significant differences about cTnI levels between the groups (For Group 1: 5.55 ng mL(-1) (2.1-10.0); for Group 2: 0.05 ng mL(-1) (0.03-0.06) p<0.001). As well as heart rate, respiration rate and temperature, cTnI levels were also found as statistically significantly important (p<0.001, p = 0.008 and p = 0.012, respectively). There was increased relative risk ratio for the body temperature group 2 (Relative risk ratio: 6.667 (2.827-15.724, Confidence interval: %95, p<0.001). There are statistically significant differences between the dogs with and without dirofilariasis about cTnI levels. It was speculated that cTnI level might be important indicator for evaluation of myocardial injury in the dogs with dirofilariasis.
A common tortoise tick, Hyalomma aegyptium Linne 1758 (Acari: Ixodidae), identified on eastern hedgehog (Erinaceus concolor Martin 1838) in Central Anatolia
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey-Tubitak, 2010) Gazyagci, Serkal; Asan, Nursel; Demirbas, Yasin
Ticks are obligate blood sucker arthropods that infect animals and humans. A common tortoise tick, Hyalomma aegyptium, was collected from a young and an adult male hedgehog, Erinaceus concolor, from Central Anatolia in July 2008. More ticks were determined on the young one. This is the second record of tortoise tick that parasitizes a hedgehog.
Comparison of hematological and biochemical parameters in sheep naturally and persistently infected with a border disease virus
(Springer, 2011) Gazyagci, Serkal; Azkur, Ahmet Kursat; Caglayan, Osman
In this study, we investigated the changes occurring in the activities of determining the biochemical and hematological parameters in persistently infected sheep with border disease virus (BDV) and control sheep. While cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, high-density lipoprotein, and glucose parameters were found to be statistically different between control and BDV positive groups (p < 0.01), total protein, alkaline phosphotase, creatine kinase, amylase, glucose, and high-density lipoprotein were found to be statistically different between control and persistently infected group (p < 0.01). Interestingly, all groups were shown only mean corpuscular volume parameter was different (p < 0.01). It was found that cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, amylase, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein parameters were different between PI and infected sheep (p < 0.01). It was speculated that BDV might effect also the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor and determination of the changes in BD and its clinical importance might contribute to the veterinarians and scientists studying in this area.
Comparison of hematological parameters of Brucella-seronegative naturally infected cattle with BVDV, BHV-1, and BHV-4
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey-Tubitak, 2016) Aslan, Muhammet Eren; Azkur, Ahmet Kursat; Biyikli, Emel; Gazyagci, Serkal; Sozdutmaz, Ibrahim
Abortion, neonatal deaths, and infertility cause important production losses in the livestock industry. Many viral infections are responsible for changes in hematological values of animals. This study aimed to find whether there is any difference in blood parameters of cattle that are naturally infected with BVDV, BHV-1, and BHV-4 and Brucella-seronegative. For this purpose, 401 whole-blood samples collected from cattle were analyzed by ELISA and PCR/RT-PCR to detect specific antibodies and antigens for BVDV, BHV-1, and BHV-4. Hematological analysis and results were compared between naturally infected BVDV, BHV-1, and BHV-4 groups and a control group. Results showed a statistically significant increase in hematological values of group 2 with BVDV compared to the corresponding parameters of group 1 (control) for mean corpuscular volume (MCV), hematocrit (Hct%), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and mean platelet volume (MPV). The same was seen for hematological values of BHV-1 for MCV, Hct (%), and MPV and of BHV-4 for MPV (P < 0.005). However, it was determined that statistical differences in hematological values of naturally infected animals cannot be used as markers for clinical diagnosis of viral infections. Thus, we suggest that evaluations of hematological parameters with specific diagnostic tests are necessary to obtain more reliable results for the diagnosis of viral diseases.

Two approximately 6-month-old guinea pigs were admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary (DIMFV), University of Ankara because of lethargy of several weeks' duration, anorexia, bilateral allopecia, and itching. Candida albicans, was isolated from the skin lesions. Both patients were treated with ketoconazole (10 mg/kg PO every 12 h) and topical clotrimazole. The female guinea pig died during the seventh day of the treatment period.
The effect of basic fibroblast growth factor and adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells on wound healing, epithelization and angiogenesis in a tracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis rat model
(Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2013) Ozpolat, Berkant; Gurpinar, Ozer Aylin; Ayva, Ebru Sebnem; Gazyagci, Serkal; Niyaz, Mehmet
Background: This experimental study aims to investigate whether basic fibroblast growth factor, adipose tissue-derived from mesenchymal stem cells, or a combination of both, has an effect on wound healing, epithelization and angiogenesis in a tracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis rat model. Methods: During the first phase of the study, mesenchymal stem cells were isolated by the primary explant culture technique from the abdominal adipose tissue of rats. When the cells became confluent, they were passaged and characterized by using immunofluorescence staining technique. The cells were cryopreserved for an in vivo application. The rats were divided into four groups, including: the basic fibroblast growth factor (group 1), the mesenchymal stem cells (group 2), the mesenchymal stem cells and basic fibroblast growth factor (group 3) and control group (group 4). The rats were sacrified at day 60 and the anastomosis was evaluated macroscopically for granulation tissue formation, the stenosis and presence of tracheocutaneous fistula formation, and also microscopically for stenosis, epithelium regeneration, inflammation, collagen formation and neovascularization. Results: The inflammation was significantly lower in the study groups (p=0.004, p=0.014, p=0.004), whereas the collagen formation and epithelial regeneration were significantly higher in the study groups, compared to the control group (p=0.015, p=0.022, p=0.026 and p=0.002, p=0.001, p=0.002). Conclusion: Both basic fibroblast growth factor and adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells increased epithelial regeneration and connective tissue organization in this rat model. They may be used as an adjuvant therapy to surgical resection in patients undergoing tracheal resection.

(Ankara Univ Press, 2022) Sevim, Kadir; Gazyagci, Serkal; Koc, Nafiye; Kara, Erdal
Interest in green iguanas (Iguana iguana) as pet animals is increasing day by day. Compared to other pet animals, the diagnosis and treatment methods of reptilian diseases are limited. Considering that these diseases will also concern public health, new research is required. Hirstiellosis is a zoonotic ectoparasitic disease seen in green iguanas (Iguana iguana). Recommended therapies are mostly empirical, some of which can be low-impact or toxic. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of ivermectin solution (5 mg/l) in the treatment of hirstiellosis and to provide preliminary data for further studies. Ivermectin solution was found to be effective in the treatment of three iguanas with the aforementioned disease, and no clinical side effects were found in the control examinations made at regular intervals.

(Medwell Online, 2010) Kaygusuz, Sedat; Osman-Arikan; Azkur, Kursat; Simsek, Hulya; Gazyagci, Serkal; Muluk, Nuray; Ertek, Mustafa
Tularemia is a zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis which can be transmitted to humans by tick bites contaminated water handling infected materials and inhalation. The different clinical types are ulceroglandular, glandular, oropharyngeal, oculoglandular, typhoidal and pneumonic tularemia. Streptomycin and tetracycline are commonly used to treat this infection. In this study approched other patients after the suspected tularemia patient attended to Kirikkale University, Faculty of Medicine with the servical mass complaint at January 2010. To find the reservoir for tularemia, laboratory research was carried on the mice. suspected to be infected with Francisella tularensis in the town of infection.
Failure of combination therapy with imidocarb dipropionate and toltrazuril to clear Hepatozoon canis infection in dogs
(Springer, 2011) Pasa, Serdar; Voyvoda, Huseyin; Karagenc, Tulin; Atasoy, Abidin; Gazyagci, Serkal
Current treatments with imidocarb dipropionate for infected dogs with Hepatozoon canis do not always provide parasitological cure. The objective of this study is to determine whether concomitant use of toltrazuril may potentiate the effect of imidocarb dipropionate in the management of H. canis infection (HCI). Twelve dogs were determined to have naturally HCI based on clinical signs, identification of the parasite in blood smears, and serologic assay. The animals were allocated randomly to one of two groups (n = 6 in each group). Dogs in Imi group were given imidocarb dipropionate at a dose of 6 mg/kg body weight subcutaneously in two injections 14 days apart. Imi plus Toltra group was given imidocarb dipropionate as dose mentioned above and toltrazuril at 10 mg/kg/day orally for the first five treatment days. Clinical findings, blood counts and parasitaemia levels in blood before and 14, 28 and 56 days after the initial treatment were performed to evaluate treatment response. The overall clinical efficacy of imidocarb dipropionate with and without toltrazuril was 83.3% and 66.7%, respectively; with a mean recovery time of 21.0 and 25.6 days, respectively. A substantial main effect of time on mean PCV, Hb, WBC, neutrophil and PLT and gradual reduction of parasitaemia were significantly observed in both groups (P < 0.05), whereas no significant difference was noticed between the studied protocols. The parasitologic cure rate at the end of eight weekly observation period was 16.6% and 33.3% in Imi and Imi plus Toltra groups, respectively. Similar clinicopathologic and parasitologic responses were observed in both treated groups; thus, it was concluded that toltrazuril does not reveal additional benefit to imidocarb therapy in dogs with HCI.

(Univ Zagreb Vet Faculty, 2011) Gazyagci, Serkal; Aktas, Mustafa S.; Sari, Baris
The aim of this case was to document the occurrence of a mite (Hirstiella sp) on a green iguana and therapy to treat it with a 0.25% fipronil spray. Upon physical examination, a number of red mites, erythema, darkness, and itching were observed on the skin of a green iguana and Hirstiella sp. was diagnosed after microscopic examination. Treatment consisted of a 0.25% fipronil spray once weekly for three weeks. Fipronil was also sprayed into the cage. Mites were eliminated completely from both the body of the green iguana and its cage after the second application and clinical remission was observed.
Genetic Variability of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus in the 5 '-UTR in the Central Anatolia of Turkey
(Univ Fed Rio Grande Do Sul, 2012) Sarikaya, Baki; Azkur, Ahmet Kursat; Gazyagci, Serkal; Aslan, Muhammet Eren
Background: The genus Pestivirus in the family Flaviviridae comprises the members bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 (BVDV-1), classical swine fever virus and border disease virus. The BVDV enveloped and the genome is a single-strand positive sense RNA molecule of approximately 12.3 kilobases in length. The genome is transcribed as a single open reading frame, flanked by 5' and 3' untranslated regions. Genetic typing of BVDV has usually been performed using sequences from the 5'-UTR, N-pro and E2 regions. BVDV is an RNA virus with a high genome variability having practical consequences on epidemiology, diagnosis and disease control. Genetic monitoring was suggested as the first step in BVDV control because genetic typing of BVDV shows evidence of an increasing number of variants. For this reason circulating genetic typing of BVDV is important update these data. Circulating BVDV in the field shows genetic and antigenic diversity. 5'-UTR nucleotide sequence analysis has been widely used for pestivirus genotype identification. To further characterize the BVDV, the nucleotide sequence of the 5'-UTR that represents a conserved region of the virus genome was analyzed in many studies. The purpose of the current study was to investigate genotypes of pestivirus were circulating in cattle populations in Central Anatolia Region of Turkey. Materials, Methods & Results: Blood samples from 160 animals in randomly selected seven cattle dairy farms that lives with more than 1100 cattle, were collected between November 2009 and March 2010 from Kirikkale (n = 57), Corum (n = 50), Ankara (n = 21), Yozgat (n = 17), Kirsehir (n = 15) cities where are located in Central Anatolia region of Turkey. To detect BVDV in cattle, viral RNA was extracted from whole blood samples using QIAamp Viral RNA Kit and the 5'-UTR were targeted using RT-nested PCR accomplished with first round primers pair panpestivirus and with second round BVDV-1a, BVDV-1b and, BVDV-2 pooled blood samples, respectively. It was detected in second round of RT-nested PCR that BVDV-1a and, BVDV-2 rate are 0.625%, 7.5% in the cattle respectively but not BVDV-1b. Positive PCR amplicons were purified from agarose gel by using commercial DNA purification kit GeneClean III. Two panpestivirus positive PCR amplicons were sequenced using 326 primer. To determine genetic typing of circulating BVDV in the cities, two panpestivirus positive PCR amplicons were sequenced to found genetic diversity and all data were deposited in GenBank under accession numbers; BVDV/Turkey/Kirikkale/01 (HQ393488.2) and BVDV/Turkey/Kirikkale/02 (HQ393489.2). Gene sequences were compared to Mega 4.1 and ClustalW analyzing software. Discussion: The BVDV has a world-wide distribution and causes significant economical losses especially on cattle farms. In this study, it was investigated genetic variability of BVDV subtypes by identifying the 5'-UTR nucleotide sequences of two panpestivirus amplicons from field samples. It was found that BVDV-1a and BVDV-2 in terms of BVDV epidemiology is genotyping, 0.625% and 7.5% using RT-nested PCR respectively. Genetic typing is important for the precise classification and molecular epidemiology of BVDV-1 and epidemiological information on currently epidemic viruses is also important for BVDV prevention and control. We suggest that vaccines should contain at least one strain of both species in Turkey. The study of genetic diversity of BVDV is useful for the understanding of pestivirus field locations as well as for epidemiological studies and planning future BVDV control and vaccination programs in Turkey.
Haematological parameters in blood of maedi-visna virus-infected and uninfected sheep
(Academic Journals, 2011) Gazyagci, Serkal; Azkur, Ahmet Kursat; Aslan, Muhammet Eren
The maedi-visna virus (MVV) classified as a lentivirus of the retroviridae family, causes a very common economically important disease in sheep, in many parts of the worlds. Presences of the infection in Turkey have been shown by researches in previous studies. In this study all blood samples were examined by ELISA and PCR to detect MVV antibody and antigen responses, respectively. Hematological findings were monitored and comparing antibody and antigen positive naturally infected (n=5), antibody positive and antigen negative (n=20), antibody and antigen negative (n=20) in sheep was done. When infected sheep were compared with control sheep, Hgb and MPV parameters were shown statistically different (P <= 0.001). These findings suggested that MVV infections should be considered as an important health risk for sheep flock and Hgb and MPV blood parameters may be helpful to diagnosis of MVV.
Inactivated Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Vaccine Trigger Leucopenia and Lymphopenia on Calves
(Univ Fed Rio Grande Do Sul, 2011) Sarikaya, Baki; Azkur, Ahmet Kursat; Gazyagci, Serkal
Background: Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in cattle is a very common viral infection that causes economic losses. In acute infection fever, leucopenia and thrombocytopenia may be observed. BVDV, an enveloped, single-stranded positive RNA virus, is a member of the genus pestiviruses within the family of flaviviridae. Vaccination and eradication programs should be applied against BVDV in herds with high prevalence of BVDV that includes removal of persistently infected (PI) animals from the herds. The vaccines used against BVDV are either modified live virus (MLV) or inactivated-virus vaccines. These commercially produced vaccines are being tested before introduced to the market, although afterwards some have been withdrawn regardless of preliminary tests. For example in Germany in 2010, inactive vaccines were withdrawn from the market when 80% of the newborn calves from vaccinated cattle were hemophilia. This phenomenon indicates the side effects of vaccine were needed by independent laboratories. For these reason in this study, in a dairy farm in 23 calves were investigated the effect of vaccination on the blood values. Materials, Methods & Results: In this study it were used 23 healthy heifers aged 6-12-months old, held in a dairy farm in Kirikkale. All of the heifers were vaccinated subcutaneously with one vial of commercial PregSure BVD inactive vaccine as recommended by the manufacturer. Whole blood samples collected before one week and three weeks after one dose commercial inactivated BVDV vaccination, blood values analyzed and compared. Before and after one week from vaccination, the blood values of hematocrit, hemoglobin, leucocytes, red blood cell, lymphocyte, neutrofil/granulocyte and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration were decreased and this decrease was statistically significant (P <= 0.05). Before and after three weeks from vaccination mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration increase was significant (P <= 0.05). One and three weeks after vaccination were compared, hematocrit, hemoglobin and red blood cell values were decreased and white blood cell, lymphocyte and neutrofil/granulocyte values increased found significant (P <= 0.05). Divided into three groups against to BVDV antigen and antibodies in the serum of samples could not be found. Discussion: In the present study we compared to effect of inactivated BVDV vaccination on blood values analyzed and compared with kinetics. Before study it was confirmed that all animal did not have BDVD specific antibodies by Porquier ELISA. When Before and after one week from vaccination, the blood values of hematocrit, leucocytes, lymphocyte, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration were decreased and this decrease was statistically significant (P <= 0.05). According to these results we found that a single-dose of vaccination causes a partial leucopenia and lymphopenia. To investigate whether vaccinations suppress immune system in calves, number of Treg cell population might be more detail observed after vaccination. As a result, though one dose of inactive BVDV vaccine cause lymphopenia and leucopenia it was unable to achieve high titers of antibodies. However veterinarian and animal owner prefer to perform widespread usage of one dose inactive vaccination in Turkey in order to cheaper than multiple dose vaccination.

(Korean Soc Pediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition, 2021) Tursun, Serkan; Gulerman, Hacer Fulya; Gazyagci, Serkal; Sahin, Yasar; Erel, Ozcan; Neselioglu, Salim
Purpose: Due to the increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has reached epidemic dimensions over time. NAFLD is the most common cause of childhood chronic liver disease. There is a relationship between NAFLD and oxidative stress. This study aims to investigate the changes in thiol/disulfide homeostasis parameters to determine the oxidant/antioxidant balance in obese rats with diet-induced NAFLD and healthy rats. Methods: Twelve Wistar albino rats were used in this study. Experimentally produced NAFLD obese rats (n=6) and healthy rats were compared. Experimental NAFLD model was created with a special fatty liver diet (Altromin (R) C1063, Fatty Liver Diet, Exclusivet, Lage, Germany). The biochemical and histopathological features of the groups, as well as serum thiol/disulfide homeostasis parameters, were analyzed and compared. Results: In the experimentally induced NAFLD rat model, they gained more weight than the control group. Steatosis (at least grade 2) occurred in all rats fed with special fatty liver diet for 12 weeks. Histopathologically, no high-grade inflammation was observed in rats with experimental NAFLD after feeding a diet for 12 weeks. Results revealed that aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase levels were high, albumin levels were low, oxidant stress parameters increased, and antioxidant thiol groups decreased. Conclusion: Experimental NAFLD is characterized by increased oxidant stress accompanying fatty tissue in the liver. Analysis of thiol/disulfide homeostasis parameters in NAFLD can be used in further studies to develop effective treatment options.
Investigation on Efficacy of a Commercial Vaccine for Treatment of Leptospirosis in Cattle
(Medwell Online, 2010) Gazyagci, Serkal; Yildirim, Murat; Kaygusuz, Sedat
The aim of this study was to determinate leptospirosis in cattle and to investigate efficacy of a commercial vaccine in treatment of leptospirosis. Upon observing leptosipirosis specific clinical signs including haematuria and mucosal icterus in 2 heifers and mouse fleshes on the surface of the water reserve of the farm, the clinicians tentatively diagnosed the diseased heifers as leptosiprosis. In addition, 9 heifers had general clinical signs including fever, apathy and tachypnea. Blood samples were collected from 41 heifers kept in the farm, including those exhibiting specific and non-specific clinical signs. All clinically diseased heifers were seropositive for leptospirosis confirmed by Microagglutination Test (MAT). The antibody titers were 1/100 or above in 11 out of 41 heifers (26.8%). All 41 heifers were vaccinated with a specific commercial vaccine (Lepto Shield 5 (R)) developed against leptospirosis. At the forth day of vaccination, one of the diseased heifers died of acute leptospirosis while the others clinically recovered 8 days after vaccination and none of the seropositive heifers showed any clinical signs of the disease. No side effects were observed within a month following vaccination. The results of the present study suggest that Lepto Shield 5 (R) is effective not only for protection but also for treatment of leptospirosis in cattle.

(Medwell Online, 2010) Dogru, Aylin Kasimoglu; Yildirim, Murat; Unal, Nilgun; Gazyagci, Serkal
Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. This study aimed to detect the relationship of C. burnetii seropositivity between farm animal owners and their animals. Blood serums of 20 farm animal owners, 32 cow and 88 sheep were investigated with indirect Immuno Fluorescent Assay (IFA) using C. burnetii phase I and II antigens. Milk samples of the same animals were tested for C. burnetii by PCR. The serological test results of animals and their owners were compared by statistically methods to reveal the interdependence and correlations. The seropositivities of IgG antibodies against C. burnetii were 90.0% for farm animal owners, 53.1% for cows and 63.6% for sheep. All of the animal owners were consuming dairy products made from their. own animals raw milk. However, as shown by PCR results, none of the tested cows and sheep were responsible for shedding of C. burnetii through their milks. Although, there was no correlation between the shedding pattern and serological results of animals, there was a significant correlation between the serological results of animals and their owners for both phase I and II antigens against C. burnetii. There are statistically important relationships between farm animals and their. owners about phase I and phase II IgG titration levels against C. burnetii. Moreover, there was close dependency between the presence of chronic C. burnetii infections in animals and their owners. On the other hand, serological results of milk samples are not in significant correlation with the serologically dependency of animals and their owners.
Serological and Epidemiological Investigation of Bluetongue, Maedi-Visna and Caprine Arthritis-Encephalitis Viruses in Small Ruminant in Kirikkale District in Turkey
(Kafkas Univ, Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2011) Azkur, Ahmet Kursat; Gazyagci, Serkal; Aslan, Muhammet Eren
Viral infections cause important problems and significant economic loses in sheep and goats that can be protected by an investigation of infections. This study aimed to determine the sheep and goat viral infections including bluetongue virus (BTV), maedivisna virus (MVV) and caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) in Kirikkale city located in Central Anatolia region of Turkey. Blood samples collected from 279 sheep and 146 goats were tested by ELISA, RT-nested PCR and nested PCR. It was detected that antibody response to BTV (49.8%), CAEV (7.5%) and MVV (19.4%) were seropositivity values in all serum samples. BTV (2.87%) and MVV (9.25%) antigens were detected in seropositive whole blood samples via RT-nested PCR and nested PCR but not CAEV. It was found that double positive animals (14.6%) for MVV and BTV in sheep but not goat. As a conclusion sheep and goat were infected with naturally BTV, CAEV and MVV in Kirikkale region. This study showed that this the first report for BTV, MVV and CAEV infections from Kirikkale region. Therefore infections are needed to be further investigations to determine detailed survey studies.
