Özet
This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of Anoplocephalidae infections in sheep and cattle slaughtered in Kirikkale. In this study, small intestines of 3 133 sheep and 870 cattle were examined. Infection was determined in 4.43% and 0.34% of sheep and cattle examined, respectively. The species of Anoplocephalidae found were Moniezia expansa (3.98%), Avitellina centripunctata (0.86%) and Thysaniezia ovilla (0.15%) in sheep and M. benedeni (0.22%) and M. expansa (0.11%) in cattle. The species determined were M. expansa 89.92%, A. centripunctata 19.42%, T. ovilla 3.59% in infected sheep and M. benedeni 66.66%, M. expansa 33.33% in infected cattle. The mixed infections observed were 87.76% (with one species), 11.51% (with two species) and 0.71% (with three species) in sheep, and cattle infected only with one species was 100%. The number of scolex observed was 1-33 and 1-3 in infected sheep and cattle, respectively. The number of mean scolex was 4.72 and 2.33 in sheep and cattle, respectively. The infection observed was the highest in July (9.89%) and the lowest in September (1.32%) in sheep. However, in cattle the highest and lowest infection observed was in October (1.51%) and September (1.11%),respectively. Infection rate observed was higher in sheep (4.43%) than that of cattle (0.34%). This observation was also statistically significant (p < 0.01).
