Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Clinostomum species in wild birds in Turkey using morphological and molecular methods.

Methods

51 birds of 18 species from seven orders previously reported as definitive hosts of the Clinostomum spp. were collected. Identification of the species was made by morphological characteristics and partial sequence of the cox1 gene.

Results

This study concludes that Ardea alba and Ardea cinerea were infected with Clinostomum complanatum, while Ardea purpurea was infected with Clinostomum tilapiae.

Conclusion

Clinostomum complanatum has been reported for the first time in the definitive hosts in Turkey. This study is the first molecular report of C. tilapiae in definitive hosts and the first report in Turkey. The present work indicates that Clinostomum species in the Afrotropic and Palearctic regions can also be found in Turkey.

两种斜口鱼的分子和形态特征，并以土耳其罗非鱼为例

目的利用形态学和分子生物学方法对土耳其野生鸟类中Clinostomum物种的存在进行研究。方法收集已有报道的7目18种51只鸟，作为蠓属终宿主。根据形态特征和cox1基因的部分序列进行了物种鉴定。结果本研究发现，白Ardea和灰Ardea感染的是平斜口菌，紫Ardea感染的是罗非鱼斜口菌。结论在土耳其境内首次报道到扁平斜口虫。本研究是罗非鱼C.罗非鱼在最终宿主中的首次分子报道，也是土耳其首次报道。目前的研究表明，在土耳其也可以发现非洲和古北向地区的斜口动物物种。

期刊介绍： Acta Parasitologica is an international journal covering the latest advances in the subject. Acta Parasitologica publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology of parasites, their physiology, morphology, taxonomy and ecology, as well as original research papers on immunology, pathology, and epidemiology of parasitic diseases in the context of medical, veterinary and biological sciences. The journal also publishes short research notes, invited review articles, book reviews. The journal was founded in 1953 as "Acta Parasitologica Polonica" by the Polish Parasitological Society and since 1954 has been published by W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 1992 in has appeared as Acta Parasitologica in four issues per year.
