Abstract

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) ve Ranavirus (Rv), dünya çapında amfibi
populasyonlarının hızla azalmasından sorumlu patojenler arasındadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2012-2013 yılları arasında
Güneybatı Anadolu Bölgesi'ndeki Göller Bölgesi'nde yaşayan endemik Beyşehir
kurbağa populasyonunda her iki patojenin varlığını saptamaktır. Her bir patojen ve koenfeksiyon varlığı sırasıyla
%48,6, % 10,3 ve % 7,0 oranında tespit edildi ve göllerin ve yıllar arasında
yaygınlık oranlarında farklılıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de
endemik Beyşehir kurbağası (Pelophylax
caralitanus)’nda Bd ve Rv'si ile Rv enfeksiyonu ve ko-enfeksiyonunun ilk
rapordur. Her iki patojen tarafından da enfeksiyon olmasına rağmen, P.caralitanus populasyonunun azalmasında
ne kadar etkili olduğu tespit edilmemiştir.

Investigation of Prevalence of Co-Infection by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Ranavirus in Endemic Beyşehir Frog (Pelophylax caralitanus)

Abstract

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Ranavirus (Rv) are among the pathogens
responsible for the rapid decline of amphibian populations worldwide. The aim
of this study is to determine the presence of both pathogens in the endemic
Beyşehir frog population living in the Lakes Region in the southwestern Anatolia
between 2014-2015 years.  Prevalences of
each pathogen and co-infections (i.e., presence infection with both of Bd and
Rv in same animal) were 48.6 %, 10.3 % and 7.0 % respectively and differences
in prevalences were detected among lakes and years. This study  is the first report of Rv infection and co-infection
with Bd and Rv of endemic Beyşehir frog (Pelophylax
caralitanus) in Turkey. Although there are infection by both pathogens, it
is unclear that how effective in declining of P.caralitanus population.
