A wild boar (Sus scrofa) about 2 years old was brought to our parasitology laboratory from Orhaneli region, Bursa province. It was examined for ectoparasites and 32 lice collected from the animal's head were inspected and identified as Haematopinus suis. Five of them were found to be as nymphs, whereas 27 were adults. This paper is the first report of H. suis found in Bursa province, Turkey.

Detection Of Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae In Pigs In Turkey, Arzu Funda Bağcigi̇l, Serkan İki̇z, N. Yakut Özgür
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the primary agent of enzootic pneumonia in pigs. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of M. hyopneumoniae in pigs raised in Turkey. Samples were obtained from the lungs of 286 pigs, which had already been separated from the carcasses at slaughter. Lung tissues were homogenized in 5 ml of Friis medium, the suspensions were inoculated into Friis medium, and then incubated at 37 °C until they developed an acid color change or for 21 days. Cultures were identified by M. hyopneumoniae-specific PCR. M. hyopneumoniae was recovered from 2 (0.70%) of the 286 lung …

The Use Of Aridity Index To Assess Implications Of Climatic Change For Land Cover In Turkey, Derya Önder, Mehmet Aydin, Süha Berberoğlu, Sermet Önder, Tomohisa Yano
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
This study was carried out to determine the impacts of climate change on aridity and land cover in Turkey. Data for future (2070s) climate change, according to present conditions (1990s), were estimated from the prediction results of a regional climate model (RCM). The RCM, which was developed in Japan, is based on the MRI model. The potential impacts of climate change were estimated according to the A2 scenario of Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES). Aridity index, the ratio of precipitation to potential evapotranspiration, was computed by using measured data for the present condition and estimated data by the RCM …
