Popis: |
A four-year-old Kangal dog with hundreds of ixodid ticks in the head and neck regions and a large number of myiasis larvae in the anal region were brought to Selcuk University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine. A paralysis covering the anterior and posterior extremites, except the head region was determined in the dog. It was suspected that the paralysis was caused by ticks on the dog after elimination of some other disease. However, no definitive diagnosis was made for paralysis. Collected ticks were identified as Rhiphicephalus sanguineus (Latreille, 1806). The myiasis larvae collected from the anal region were identified as second and third instars of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819). As a result, it is suggested that C. albiceps and Rh. sanguineus should be considered in the etiology of myiasis and tick paralysis cases, respectively. |
