Antibiyotiklere dirençli bakteri suşlarının artması ile antibakteriyel bileşenlerin etkilerinin araştırılması daha da önemli hale gelmiştir. Maggot terapi, nekrotik dokulara affinite duyan maggot adı da verilen miyaz sinek larvalarının yara tedavisinde kullanımına dayalı bir metottur. Nekrotik dokuların debridmanında çok etkili olması, güvenli ve kolay uygulanabilmesi, düşük maliyeti ve antibiyotiğe dirençli enfeksiyonlarda bile etkili olabilmesi maggot terapinin avantajlarıdır. Bu avantajları nedeniyle Maggot terapinin popülaritesi dünya genelinde birçok ülkede hızlı bir şekilde artmaktadır. Bu derlemede Miyaz sinek larvaları ve Maggot terapi hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.

The current study aimed to detect parasites in Hatay Mountain Gazelles (Gazella gazella), which are categorized as endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The present study was conducted in Hatay Mountain Gazelle Wildlife Development Area, where 40 gazelles inhabited (30 ♀, 10 ♂), 15 of which were over three years old as well-considered adults. Fecal samples were taken from 60 fecal foci immediately after the defecation of the gazelles. Each of the fecal samples was analysed with Benedek sedimentation, Fülleborn flotation and Bearman-Wetzel methods and examined under a light microscope. In addition, Ixodid ticks were collected from an injured gazelle which was brought to Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, then were identified under the stereomicroscope. Nematodirus spp. (5/60, 8%), Marshallagia spp. (4/60, 7%), Trichostrongylus spp. (3/60, 5%) eggs, Dictiyocaulus filaria larvae (3/60, 5%) and Eimeria spp. oocysts (9/60, 15%) were determined based on the microscopic examination. Ixodid tick samples were identified as Rhipicephalus turanicus (2 ♀, 3 ♂). Thus this is the first report of the existence of parasites in Hatay Mountain Gazelles in Turkey. It is thought that skin and fecal examinations should be performed to prevent parasitic diseases in gazelles.
