Öğe Cystic echinococcosis: a study of consciousness and creating awareness(2007) Ozçelik, Semra; Kengeç, Lütfü; Celiksöz, Ali; De?erli, Serpil; Ataş, Ahmet Duran; Poyraz, OmerStudy was started in November 2005 and education practices and other activities have been realized between the dates of December 2005 and 5 January 2006. A wide group has been chosen from the students who are at the level of primary and secondary education to adults as a target mass to create awareness. Correspondences related to the subject have been done with Cumhuriyet University rector ship, Sivas governs ship, Sivas manager of education, Sivas mufti and essential otorizations got. Pictorial leaflets which introduce disease and explain infection and ways of protection are prepared and sent all province and county school by means of Manager of Education. Besides, lots of leaflet is distributed to tradesmen and public. Large sized posters are published about disease to make people aware of it. It is provided that these posters are distributed to all schools and mosques. Lectures are organized to introduce the disease and emphasize the ways of protection in five fixed center by two sessions. It is provided that 89 primary and secondary school students' attendance regularly with their teachers. Besides the working of society awareness, preparing executing and treating of control programs about cystic echinococcosis are other important and necessary stages.Öğe Deneysel Kriptosporidiozis Oluşturulan Kuzularda Kitosan Oligosakkaritin Tedavideki Etkinliğinin Belirlenmesi(2018) Aydoğdu, Uğur; Ataş, Ahmet Duran; Ağaoğlu, Zahid Tevfik; Coşkun, Alparslan; Başbuğ, OnurBu çalısmada, Criptosporidium parvum ile deneysel enfekte kuzularda farklı dozlarda kitosan oligosakkarit uygulamalarının tedavideki etkinliginin arastırılması amaçlanmıstır. Çalısmada 32 adet erkek kuzu kullanıldı ve kuzular 8?erli 4 gruba ayrıldı. Kuzularda deneysel kriptosporidiozis olusturmak için kriptosporidiozis ile dogal enfekte buzagıdan alınan dıskı örnekleri saflastırılarak 106 ookist oral olarak inokule edildi. 1, 2 ve 3 numaralı gruplara, günde iki kez, kuzu mamasına karıstırılarak, sırasıyla 100, 500 ve 1000 mg/kg dozunda, 7 gün süreyle kitosan oligasakkarit uygulandı. 4. grupta ise kriptosporidiozisli kuzular ilaç uygulaması yapılmaksızın, kontrol amaçlı normal beslemeye tabi tutuldu. Kuzuların tedavi öncesi (0. gün) ve tedavi sonrası 1, 3, 5 ve 7. günlerde klinik muayeneleri yapıldı ve tüm kuzulardan kan analizleri için vena jugularisten 5 ml kan alındı. Kuzuların agırlık degisimleri 0., 7., 14. ve 21. günlerde kaydedildi. Kriptosporidiozisli kuzuların ookist atılımlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla tedavi öncesi (0. gün) ve tedavi sonrası 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 ve 21. günlerde dıskı örnekleri toplandı. Ookist uygulaması sonrası kuzularda 5. günde pastözden sulu kıvama kadar degisen, yogun mukuslu ishal gözlendi ve 5. günden itibaren yogun olarak ookist atılımı gözlenerek deneysel prosedüre baslandı. Tedavi süresince klinik, hematolojik, kan gazları ve biyokimyasal parametrelerde degisimler gözlendi. Ancak bu degisiklikler sınırlı düzeydeydi. Deneysel kriptosoridiozis sekillenen kuzularda, tedavi öncesine göre 7. günde agırlık kaybı gözlenirken, 14. ve 21. günlerde kademeli olarak agırlık artısı oldu ve bu degisimler tüm gruplarda benzerdi. Tüm gruplarda ookist atılımı, tedavi süresince azaldı. Tedavi öncesine göre ooksit atılımlarında grup 1 ve 2?de 3. günden itibaren, grup 3 ve 4?te ise 5. günden itibaren önemli düzeyde azalma saptandı. Gruplar arasında ise, 3. günde ve 5. günde ookist atılımlarında önemli düzeyde degisimler gözlendi. Sonuç olarak, deneysel kriptosporidiozis olusturulan kuzularda kitozan oligosakkaritin klinik bulgular ve dıskı karakterinde, kontrol grubuna kıyasla, daha kısa sürede iyilesme sagladıgını ve 100, 500 ve 1000 mg/kg dozunda 7 gün süreyle kitosan oligosakkaritin ookist atılımını önemli oranda azalttıgı, ancak kriptosporidiozisi tamamen ortadan kaldırmada yeterli olmadıgı tespit edildi.Öğe Deri leishmaniosisi etkinlikleri üzerine, endemik ve endemik olmayan bitkilerin (özütlerinin) antileishmanial etkilerinin araştırılması(Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi, 2002) Ataş, Ahmet Duran; Özçelik, SemraÖZET Bu araştırmada, halen kullanımda olan antileishmanial ilaçlara daha etkili alternatifler bulmak için, in vitro koşullarda 30 bitki ekstraktının aktivitesi araştırılmıştır.

A comparison was done from each province. Methods: Between May and August 2018, a total of 100 powder samples were prepared by a lactic acid precipitation method that was examined microscopically. Besides, some variables in Tekirdağ and İstanbul provinces were applied to participants by face-to-face interview method from a questionnaire. Results: House dust mite was found with a rate of 66.7% in İstanbul and 61.5% in Tekirdağ; however, house dust mite was not found in Sivas province. According to survey results, the frequency of house dust mite detection is 1-4. It increased according to the fact that it is located between floors, cleaning was every 15 days, no smoking at home and insufficient sun exposure. No statistically significant difference was found according to the presence of plants and/or animals in the house and way of heating. Conclusion: Measures to be taken against house a dust mite, which is the most essential component of house dust with allergic content, are observed to be important in reducing complaints of sensitive people by especially considering the climate, geographic characteristics and general hygienic conditions. According to investigations, Baloghella melis, one of the mites detected in dust samples taken from İstanbul, has been determined to be a new record in Turkey. This study will contribute to Turkey with this aspect fauna of house dust mites. © 2021 Turkish Society for Parasitology.Öğe First molecular detection of Canine Hemoplasmas in Sivas province in central part of Turkey(2021) Erol, Ufuk; Altay, Kürşat; Şahin, Ömer Faruk; Ataş, Ahmet Duran; Urhan, Osman FurkanCanine hemoplasmas are vector-borne bacterial pathogens having worldwide distribution. There are twohemoplasmas species that cause disease in dogs. These are Mycoplasma haemocanis and Candidatus Mycoplasmahaematoparvum. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of canine hemoplasmas among apparentlyhealthy 194 owned-dogs in Sivas Province using species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). According toour results, the overall prevalence of canine hemoplasmas was 14.94% (29/194). The molecular prevalence of M.haemocanis and Ca. M. haematoparvum was detected as 8.24% (16/194) and 10.82% (21/194) respectively whilethe prevalence of co-infections was 4.12% (8/194). In this study, Ca. M. haematoparvum which can infect humanswas found more prevalent than M. haemocanis. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first molecular study on thedetermination of canine hemoplasmas in Sivas province in Turkey.Öğe Investigation of Antiparasitic Properties of Benzimidazole Derivatives Against Amebiasis(DergiPark, 2022) Ataş, Ahmet Duran; Ataseven, Hilmi; Sayin, KorayEntamoeba histolytica is one of the common causes of infection in humans around the world. It causes clinically significant infection due to the fact that it causes morbidity and mortality. There is a need for new and safe drugs in the treatment of amebiasis. In this study, the activity of proton pump inhibitors against this parasite were investigated. Pantoprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, esomeprazole and rabeprazole were examined in detail. Initially, related drugs are optimized at M062X/6-31+G(d) level in water. Then, 3JS5, 3IDO and 3ILY were minimized at OPLS3e method. The docking calculations were performed and it is found that pantoprazole could be a significant candidate in the inhibiting of Entamoeba histolytica. Then, the interaction between pantoprazole and the target parasite were examined in the range of 0 - 100 nanoseconds (ns). The interaction energies in each one ns were calculated. As a result, the interaction was found as stronger than 88 ns. Pantoprazole was clinged to Entamoeba histolytica to inhibiting it. © 2022.

Toxoplasmosis can be transmitted to humans in many ways. The purpose of the study was to investigate the anti-Toxoplasma IgM and anti-Toxoplasma IgG seropositivity with the ELISA method in people who have cats at home and do not have cats at home, and to reveal the possible relationship between toxoplasmosis and people who keep/contact cats for a long time for any reason at home. Methods: Between March 2021 and June 2021, blood samples were taken from 91 people who had a cat in their home for at least a year and 91 people who had never had a cat or had no contact with a cat, in Sivas province. Anti-Toxoplasma IgM and anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies were investigated in serum samples by the ELISA method. Age, gender, and other socio-demographic criteria were not considered. Results: Because of the study, all samples were found to be negative for anti-Toxoplasma IgM. Anti-Toxoplasma IgG seropositivity was detected in 20 (22.0%) of those who had cats at home and 40 (44.0%) of those without cats at home. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of anti-Toxoplasma IgM seropositivity. However, anti-Toxoplasma IgG seropositivity was found to be statistically significant (p=0.002) (p<0.01). Conclusion: Because of the study, anti-Toxoplasma IgG positivity was found to be higher in those who did not feed/contact cats at home and it was statistically significant. It brings to mind that the reason for the high rate of seropositivity in those without cats at home, may not be only the oocysts excreted from cats, but also the transmission by other non-cat transmission routes may still be important. © 2023 Turkish Society for Parasitology.Öğe Investigation of Toxoplasma gondii Seroprevalence in Preeclampsic Pregnant(Galenos Publishing House, 2023) Yıldırım, Ayşenur; Ataş, Ahmet DuranObjective: Toxoplasma gondii is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis and is a parasite of high medical importance with a wide host variety. Bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections during pregnancy may predispose women to pregnancy complications. Preeclampsia of unknown etiology causes special conditions such as systemic vascular endothelial damage due to insufficient trophoblastic invasion and abnormal placentation. There are data of an association between various maternal infections and preeclampsia/ eclampsias. The aim of the study was to compare and analyze the relationship between the presence of anti-Toxoplasma IgM and anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia and in normotensive healthy pregnant women who were in the control group. Methods: In this study, 176 pregnant women who applied to our hospital between January 2019 and December 2020 were included. 88 (50%) of the pregnant women had pre-eclampsia and 88 (50%) were normotensive. The presence of anti-Toxoplasma IgM and IgG antibodies in blood taken from pregnant women with pre-eclampsia and control group was investigated using ELISA. Results: Because of the study, both groups were found to be seronegative in terms of anti-Toxoplasma IgM by ELISA. Anti-Toxoplasma IgG was found to be seropositive in 24 (27.3%) pregnant women with pre-eclampsia and 18 (20.5%) normotensive pregnant women. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of anti-Toxoplasma IgM and anti-Toxoplasma IgG seropositivity (X2=0.289, p>0.05) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Because of the study, no statistically significant difference was found between pregnant women with pre-eclampsia and those with toxoplasmosis. It was thought that further studies should be conducted to discuss the hormonal, vascular, etc. factors occurring in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia of T. gondii effect of preparing the ground for the changes and to reveal the existence of a possible relationship between pre-eclampsia and T. gondii seropositivity. © Telif hakkı 2023 Türkiye Parazitoloji Derneği.Öğe Molecular Survey of Theileria and Babesia Species in Small Ruminants and Ticks from Sivas Region of Turkey(Kırgızistan Türkiye Manas Üniversitesi, 2017) Altay, Kürşat; Ataş, Ahmet Duran; Özkan, ErkanThis study was carried out to investigate the presence and distribution of Theileria and Babesia species with microscopic examination and reverse line blotting (RLB) techniques in sheep, goats and ticks from Sivas (Sivas, Kangal, Koyulhisar, Yıldızeli) of Central Anatolia region of Turkey. For this purpose 309 blood samples (206 sheep and 103 goats) and 478 tick samples that divided into 27 pools as the species were collected from sheep and goats. The total genomic DNAs were extracted from 309 blood samples and 27 tick pools were tested by RLB for Theileria and Babesia species. A total of 8 animals (2.59 %) were found to be positive for Theileria spp. piroplasms in microscopic examination of the smears. Four species or genotypes (Theileria ovis, Theileria sp. MK, Theileria sp. OT3, Babesia ovis) were detected in sheep, goats and ticks pools with RLB. 18S SSU Infection rate of T. ovis was 56.80 % in sheep, 3.88 % in goats and totally 39.16 %. Theileria sp. OT3 was detected in 4.85 % of sheep and 3.24 % of all animals, while Theileria sp. MK was detected 3.88 % in sheep and 2.59 % in all animals. rRNA gene sequences were detected for all species or genotypes. The sequences were submitted to GenBank under accession numbers; KF266694, KF266695, KF434321 and KF440691. The tick species were identified as Rhipicephalus bursa, Haemaphysalis sulcata, Hyolamma marginatum, H. detritum and Dermacentor marginatus. According to the result of tick pools analysed by RLB, T. ovis were detected in R. bursa, H. marginatum, H. detritum and Hae. sulcata while B. ovis were determined in R. bursa.Öğe Nasal Nosocomial Myiasis Infection Caused by Lucilia Sericata Following Epistaxis and Nasal Packing: A Case Presentation(AVES, 2020) Bora, Adem; Ataş, Ahmet Duran; Altuntaş, Emine ElifThe aim of this case report was to present our clinical approach for a case wherein nasal packing was applied for epistaxis and nosocomial nasal myasis caused by Lucilia sericata was developed during the follow-up in the intensive care unit because of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Nasal packing was used for epistaxis during the anticoagulant treatment of a 79-year-old man who was hospitalized, followed up, and treated at the coronary intensive care unit for the diagnosis of congestive heart failure. The larvae of L. sericata were observed in the nasal cavity after the nasal packings were removed on the third day. Hospital-acquired myiasis is rarely seen in clinical settings. The most critical point in the prevention of myiasis is undoubtedly hygiene as well as the use of an air conditioning system in the ventilation of the entire hospital, especially in the intensive care units. The present case report is the first for nosocomial myiasis caused by Lucilia in Turkey. © Author(s).Öğe Sivas sokak köpeklerinde görülen helmint türleri, bunların yayılışı ve halk sağlığı yönünden önemi(Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi, 1995) Ataş, Ahmet Duran; Özçelik, SemraSivas sokak köpekl erindeki he1mint faunasını belirlemek, bunların dağılış oranlarını saptamak, halkın sağlığı açısından meydana gelebilecek tehlikeleri göz önüne sermek amacıyla toplam 50 köpeğin otopsisi yapılmıştır-.

Methods: The distribution of intestinal parasites in patients who suffered from gastrointestinal symptoms and were referred to our microbiology/parasitology laboratory from various clinics of the Sivas Cumhuriyet University Training and Research Hospital between January 2006 and December 2018 was determined. After macroscopic examination, 19,760 stool specimens were examined with Nativ-lugol, if necessary, flotation, sedimentation, trichrome and modified acid-fast, Certest Combo Card test Crypto + Giardia + Entamoeba (CerTest Biotec S.L., SPAIN) methods and 5,814 cellophane tape samples were examined with direct microscopy and the results were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Three protozoa and six helminth species were identified in the samples studied. The most frequent parasite was found to be Giardia intestinalis (6.9% n=1.363) from protozoa and Enterobius vermicularis (10.8% n=627) from helminths. Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (1.5% n=289), Cryptosporidium parvum (0.3% n=53), Ascaris lumbricoides (0.2% n=41), Trichuris trichiura (0.1% n=23), Hymenolepis nana (0.1% n=21), Taenia saginata (2.1% n=299) and Dicrocoelium dendriticum (0.01% n=1) were among other intestinal parasites. Conclusion: Between 2006-2018, while decreases in soil-borne parasitoses were observed, there was no statistically significant decrease in annual positive case rates. Despite the development of the infrastructure, parasitoses transmitted by lack of sanitation/ cleaning, are still important in our province. © 2020 Turkish Society for Parasitology.
