Özet
Bu çalışmada İzmir civarında dağılış gösteren bahçe salyangozu Helix aspersa Müller, 1774 (Mollusca: Pulmonata)’daki Dicrocoeliidae larval safhalarının yaygınlığı araştırılarak, morfolojik ve histolojik özellikleri tespit edilmiştir. Yumuşakçalar 2005 yılının ilkbahar aylarında toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucuna gore H. aspersa’nın çalışma alanında %0.97’lik yaygınlıkla Dicrocoeliidae yaşam döngüsüne ara konaklık yapan bir kara salyangozu türü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmayla ilk kez H. aspersa’nın Dicrocoeliid türlerine ara konaklık yaptığı rapor edilmiştir. Enfeksiyon yaygınlığı Mart ayında en yüksek seviyededir.
In this study, the prevalence of larval stages of Dicrocoeliidae in the garden snail Helix aspersa Müller, 1774 commonly found in the vicinity of Izmir, Turkey was investigated and some of its histological and morphological features were determined. The molluscs were collected during the spring of 2005. As the result of the investigation, a land snail species, H. aspersa, was found to be an intermediate host in the life cycle of Dicrocoeliidae and it had a prevalence of 0.97 % in the study area. In the present study, H. aspersa has been reported for the first time as an intermediate host of Dicrocoeliid species. The prevalence of infection was highest in March.
