The Occurrence Of The Rumen Ciliate Metadinium Banksi Dehority, 1985 (Ophryoscolecidae, Entodiniomorphida) From Domestic Goats (Capra Hircus L.) In Southeastern Turkey, Bayram Göçmen, Burk A. Dehority, Sami̇ye Rastgeldi̇ Jan 2002

The Occurrence Of The Rumen Ciliate Metadinium Banksi Dehority, 1985 (Ophryoscolecidae, Entodiniomorphida) From Domestic Goats (Capra Hircus L.) In Southeastern Turkey, Bayram Göçmen, Burk A. Dehority, Sami̇ye Rastgeldi̇

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Metadinium banksi was observed in rumen contents from a single goat out of eight living in southeastern Turkey. It constituted 0.25% of the total ciliate population and had a 12.5% frequency of appearance. The size and percentage occurrence of this species in the present study are compared to those previously reported for other animal hosts living in different geographical locations. This study reports for the first time in Turkey the presence of Metadinium banksi in arctic ruminants.


Some Rumen Ciliates (Isotrichidae, Trichostomatida; Epidininae, Ophryoscolecidae) Of The Domestic Goat (Capra Hircus L.) In Turkey, Bayram Göçmen, Mehmet Kutsay Atatür Jan 2002

Some Rumen Ciliates (Isotrichidae, Trichostomatida; Epidininae, Ophryoscolecidae) Of The Domestic Goat (Capra Hircus L.) In Turkey, Bayram Göçmen, Mehmet Kutsay Atatür

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Rumen contents obtained from domesticated goats (Capra hircus L.) slaughtered at abattoirs in the vicinity of Adana were surveyed for holotrichous ciliate protozoans and the genus Epidinium. The presence of two holotrichous ciliate genera including three species (Isotricha prostoma, I. intestinalis and Dasytricha ruminantium) and also of seven formae of Epidinium ecaudatum (E. e. f. ecaudatum, E. e. f. caudatum, E. e. f. bicaudatum, E. e. f. tricaudatum, E. e. f. quadricaudatum, E. e. f. parvicaudatum and E. e. f. cattanei) were established. The mean ciliate density in our surveyed goats, 34.62x10^4 cells/ml, was lower than those of domestic sheep …

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In this study, 1812 Ephemeroptera nymphs were collected in order to determine the Ephemeroptera fauna of Lake Ulubat Basin between April 1996 and September 1999. The distribution of 38 species belonging to 22 genera and 10 families is presented. Among these, the genus Brachycercus Curtis, 1834 and the species Brachycercus harrisella Curtis, 1834 are recorded in Turkey for the first time. In addition, previous records on the distribution of all 38 species in Turkey are given.
