Occurrence Of The Pathogens And Parasites Of Phyllotreta Undulata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) In Turkey, Mustafa Yaman, Onur Tosun, Çi̇çek Aydin
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The pathogens and parasites of Pyllotreta undulata Kutschera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) collected from 5 localities in the Black Sea region of Turkey were investigated. Four different types of pathogens and parasites were recorded in adults of P. undulata: gregarine, microsporidium, and 2 nematodes, namely 1 Howardula species and 1 Hexamermis species. Gregarine and Howardula were the most common pathogen and parasite in P. undulata populations. There is the first record of a Hexamermis (Nematoda: Mermithidae) parasite from P. undulata in Turkey.

Review Of The Ichthyofaunal Changes In Lake Eğirdir Between 1915 And 2007, Fahretti̇n Küçük, Hasan M. Sari, Orhan Demi̇r, İskender Gülle
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The ichthyofaunal changes in Lake Eğirdir between 1915 and 2007 were reviewed. It was understood that the most drastic change in the ichthyofauna of Lake Eğirdir occurred in 1955 with the introduction of pike-perch (Sander lucioperca), and that the process of change continued with the addition of Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) in 1996 and big scale sand smelt (Atherina boyeri) in 2003. Today, there are 15 fish taxa (10 native, 5 non-native) in Lake Eğirdir. It was determined that, among the endemic species of Lake Eğirdir, Handlirsch^{'}s minnow (Pseudophoxinus handlirschi) is extinct (EX), Ereğli minnow (Hemigrammocapoeta kemali) disappeared, and Eğirdir …

Karyotype Analysis Of An Endemic Sucker Catfish, Glyptothorax Silviae Coad,1981 (Actinopterygii: Sisoridae), From Iran, Hamid Reza Esmaeili, Zeinab Gholami, Narges Nazari, Ali Gholamifard, Fatemeh Shahryari, Somayeh Baghbani, Mehrgan Ebrahimi
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The karyotypic and cytogenetic characteristics of southern catfish, Glyptothorax silviae Coad, 1981, was investigated for the first time by examining metaphase chromosome spreads obtained from gill epithelial and kidney cells. The diploid chromosome number of this species was 2n = 52. The karyotype consisted of 9 pairs of metacentric, 14 pairs of submetacentric, and 3 pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes. The arm number was 98. No heteromorphic sex chromosomes were cytologically detected in this catfish. Comparison of the chromosome number of this fish with that of the other members of subfamily Glyptosterninae shows that 2n = 52 may be regarded as …

Turkish Journal of Zoology
The relationship between the lordosis severity and swimming performance in sea bass juveniles was investigated. In total, 149 experimental animals 110-130 days old that ranged from 1.44 to 3.44 g (mean_{TW} ± SD: 2.41 ± 0.49 g) and 5.4 to 6.5 cm (mean_{TL} ± SD: 6.03 ± 0.39 cm) were used in experiments to determine critical swimming speed (U_{crit}) in water that was 14 ± 1 °C. Vertebral angle in normal healthy fish is 180°. The lordosis severity in abnormal fish is indicated by a reduction in this value. Vertebral angles (\varphiº) of the experimental animals in this study ranged …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was carried out to determine the effects of oxalic acid (OA) on reducing Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) populations in honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies in the fall. Twenty honeybee colonies, in wooden Langstroth hives, were used in this experiment. Average Varroa infestation levels (%) of the OA and control groups were 25.87% and 24.57% on adult workers before the treatments. The OA treatments were applied twice, on 3 November and 13 November 2006. Average Varroa infestation levels were 5.24% and 31.43% after the first application and 2.87% and 41.74% after the second application in the OA and control …

Phylogenetic Analyses Of Amaranthaceae Based On Matk Dna Sequence Data With Emphasis On West African Species, Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, Mark Chase
Phylogenetic Analyses Of Amaranthaceae Based On Matk Dna Sequence Data With Emphasis On West African Species, Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, Mark Chase
Turkish Journal of Botany
Comparative sequencing of the chloroplast matK coding and non-coding regions was used to examine relationship among the species of Amaranthaceae with emphasis on the West African species and other closely related family such as Chenopodiaceae, Portulacaceae, and Caryophyllaceae. Phylogenetic analysis of the matK sequences alone and in combination using maximum parsimony methods produced monophyletic lineage of Amaranthaceae-Chenopodiaceae. Our results indicated that a polyphyletic Celosieae as sister to an Amaranthus-Chemissoa lineage. Subfamily Amaranthoideae is paraphyletic to the core Gomphrenoids. This study also shows that the polyphyly of Amarantheae is apparent and so is the polyphyly of Amaranthinae.

The Role Of Polyethylene Glycol (Peg) Pretreatment In Improving Sugarcane’S Salt (Nacl) Tolerance, Neelma Munir, Faheem Aftab
Turkish Journal of Botany
An important aspect of salt tolerance studies in different plants is the relationship between salt and water stress. In the present study calluses (60 days old) of 2 sugarcane cultivars (cv. SPF 234 and cv. HSF 240) were treated with 4 different salt concentrations, including a control (0 mM NaCl), after 1% polyethylene glycol (PEG) pretreatment for 5 days. Fresh weight, callus browning, and necrosis data were recorded at day 120. Biochemical parameters (soluble protein contents, and peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activity) were also analysed. Regardless of PEG pretreatment, calluses subjected to salt stress had less fresh weight than …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Aim: Studies have shown that no booster dose was required at least 10 to 15 years after a primary vaccination for individuals who developed protective anti-hepatitis B surface (anti-HBs) antibodies. In this study, booster dose requirement for HBV after primary immunization was investigated. Materials and Methods: Seventeen individuals vaccinated previously were enrolled in the study. They had once developed a protective level of anti-HBs antibody after immunization and their anti-HBs titer had declined to an underprotective level. Twenty uninfected and unvaccinated healthy people were chosen as controls. Lymphoproliferative response to in-vitro stimulation with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HBs …

Glass Particles In The Frontal Sinus, Sedat Aydin, Ari̇f Şanli, Mehmet Eken, Ümi̇t Hardal
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
We present a patient that had a frontal sinus mucocele, which was the result of a traffic accident that occurred 3 years earlier. During surgery via the osteoplastic approach we observed glass particles in the left frontal sinus. As patients with foreign bodies in the paranasal sinus are not commonly seen in otolaryngological practice, especially glass particles in the frontal sinus, and papers dealing with this issue are rare in the English language literature, we present our case and a review of the literature.
A Simple Surgical Technique For Repair Of Iridodialysis, Şengül Özdek, Mehmet Cüneyt Özmen
A Simple Surgical Technique For Repair Of Iridodialysis, Şengül Özdek, Mehmet Cüneyt Özmen
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
A simple surgical technique is described for repair of iridodialysis and a traumatic iridodialysis case is presented. In this technique, a 10-0 polypropylene suture is used for repair. The knot is left in the anterior chamber to avoid suture related complications such as erosion, patient discomfort, and infection. This technique can be a safe and easy way to repair large iridodialysis.
