Identification Of Vibrio Anguillarum By Pcr (Rpon Gene) Associated With Vibriosis In Marine Fish In Turkey, Di̇dem Demi̇rcan, Akin Candan Jan 2006

Identification Of Vibrio Anguillarum By Pcr (Rpon Gene) Associated With Vibriosis In Marine Fish In Turkey, Di̇dem Demi̇rcan, Akin Candan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The main causative agent of vibriosis is Vibrio anguillarum. In this study, 33 V. anguillarum strains were isolated from the internal organs of marine fish showing typical clinical signs of vibriosis, and these strains were identified by biochemical tests. For comparison of these results, API 20E and BIONOR Mono-Va agglutination kits were used. Finally strains were amplified by PCR using the rpoN gene. Although the phenotypic properties of V. anguillarum strains varied, the rpoN gene from chromosomal DNA was amplified in all strains. In conclusion, this gene could be used in the diagnosis of V. anguillarum strains isolated in Turkey.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Shrimps with an initial weight of 11.10 ± 0.26 g were fed diets supplemented with 6.6% red pepper (RP), 2.4% marigold flower (MF), and 100 mg/kg synthetic astaxanthin (SA), each of which contained 100 mg/kg total carotenoid, and a control diet (BD), without carotenoid supplement for 60 days. Dietary carotenoid sources did not significantly affect the growth of the shrimps (P > 0.05). SA supplementation yielded the highest survival rate (92%), followed by RP (82%) and the other diets (75%) (P < 0.05). All dietary carotenoid sources provided higher carotenoid accumulation compared to the control group (P < 0.05), but the difference between them was not significant (P > 0.05). RP and SA resulted in a greater protein increase in shrimp muscle than MF (P < 0.05); however, lipid, ash, and water content were similar in all diet groups (P > 0.05).

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to investigate serum iron parameters, and copper and iron deficiency anemia in ewes infected with gastro-intestinal parasites. This study was conducted with 60 pregnant Akkaraman ewes. In the statistical analyses, values obtained from both parasite infected and uninfected ewes were compared. Significant decreases were observed in PCV (P < 0.05), Hb (P < 0.05), RBC (P < 0.05), total protein (P < 0.05), albumin (P < 0.05), globulin (P < 0.05), and MCHC (P < 0.01), and a significant increase was seen in the WBC value (P < 0.05) in the parasite infected group. Furthermore, the parasite infected group had lower serum Fe (P < 0.001), TS % (P < 0.001), and serum Cu (P < 0.01) levels, and had higher UIBC values (P < 0.05) compared to the values obtain from the uninfected group. Therefore, in addition to antiparasite drug treatment in parasite infected pregnant ewes, iron preparations should also be administered in order to treat iron deficiency.
