“…Parasitic diseases have an important place in small ruminant farming (Ayaz et al, 2006;Ertaş et al, 2022) It is reported that there is a signi cant morbidity and mortality due to parasitic infections and these diseases in developing or underdeveloped countries in the modern era (Çınar et al, 2018;Ertaş et al, 2022). Moreover, this problem is further complicated by the fact that pets are infected with more than one species at the same time (Ayaz et al, 2006).…”

The aim of inthe present study was to investigate aopp, total sulfhydryl group (t-sh) and seroplasmin levels in zoonotic liver parasitosis in sheep. this study was carried out in Iğdır province. For this purpose, 75 sheep were grouped as healthy, Fasciola spp., Echinococcus spp., Dicrocoelium spp., Echinococcus spp. + Dicrocoelium spp. The levels of the specified parameters were measured in these groups. According to the results, AOPP level in the fasciolosis group was remarkably higher than all other groups (p < 0.05). The serum AOPP level in the E + D group was found to be significantly higher compared to the control and dicrocoelium spp. groups (p < 0.05). Echinococcus spp. group was s remarkably higher than the dicrocoelium spp. group (p < 0.05). The ceruloplasmin level in the control group was found to be significantly lower compared to the Echinococcosis, fasciolosis and dicrocoeliosis groups (p < 0.05). Total sulfhydryl level was found to be lower in the patient groups compared to the healthy group, but this value was not significant. According to these results, it can be said that cellular damage occurs in liver parasitism. These parameters are thought to be valuable in terms of prognosis in parasitic infections. It is also thought that oxidative cell damage occurs in the attack of zoonotic liver parasites in which the immune response decreases. It is thought that this study will serve as a guide for future research.

“…The scientific basis for the conservation of biodiversity of various ecosystems is research on the inventory of fauna and parasitic complexes. In natural rangelands, where, as a rule, antiparasitic measures are not carried out, most domestic and wild animals become infected with parasitic diseases and permanently seed the external environment with the invasive principle (Suleimenov et al, 2014;Ertaş et al, 2022). Therefore, the study of the species diversity of parasites and the infection of animals with them is of great interest not only for parasitologists, zoologists, and ecologists but also for veterinary medicine specialists from the point of view of ensuring the parasitological safety of natural ecosystems and developing measures to combat diseases caused by parasites (Roeber et al, 2013).…”

The purpose of our research was to study the parasitic fauna and infection of sheep with parasites in the northern and southern regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. For this, we conducted a study to determine the species diversity of sheep parasites. The study was set from 2010-2020 years on infected sheep in the northern and southern parts of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The experiments were conducted at the Department of Veterinary Medicine of S. Seifullin KazATU and the KazNIVI in Almaty. The species diversity of parasites of adult sheep was studied. The materials for parasitological laboratory studies were sheep feces taken from 50 sheep. Vital diagnostics of helminthiasis were carried out by scatological studies of 50 sheep using the well-known methods of Fulleborn, Weid, and Boyahchyan. To establish the timing of infection, selective coprolarvoscopic studies of fecal samples taken from pastures were carried out. First, the invasive larvae were isolated from fecal samples by the Berman-Orlov method. Differential diagnosis of trichostrongylides was carried out according to the method of Y.Y. Shumakovich. Among the sheep of the Akmola and Karaganda regions, strongylatoses parasitizing in the gastrointestinal tract are recorded: Nematodyrosis, ostertagiosis, hemonhoz, marshallagiasis, esophagostomosis, and, less often, bunostomosis. The development of eggs and larvae of the invasive stage in pasture conditions is noted at the end of the first decade of May. The first cases of infection of lambs are observed in late May-early June. Thus, based on the three-year results obtained, it can be concluded that the absence of antiparasitic measures leads to infection of almost all livestock within 5-7 months and in subsequent years, reinfection occurs, which ultimately causes a decrease in productivity and increase mortality, especially among young animals up to 1.5 years of age.

This pilot study used an alternative and economically efficient technique, the Kompetitive Allele-Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (KASP-PCR) to examine 48 SNPs from 11 parasite-resistance genes found on 8 chromosomes in 110 animals from five sheep breeds reared in Hungary; Hungarian Tsigai, White Dorper, Dorper, Ile de France, and Hungarian Merino. Allele and genotype frequencies, fixation index, observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity, F statistic, and their relationship with the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (WHE) and the polymorphic information content (PIC) were determined, followed by principal component analysis (PCA). As much as 32 SNPs out of the 48 initially studied were successfully genotyped. A total of 9 SNPs, 4 SNPs in TLR5, 1 SNP in TLR8, and 4 SNPs in TLR2 genes, were polymorphic. The variable genotype and allele frequency of the TLRs gene indicated genetic variability among the studied sheep breeds, with the Hungarian Merino exhibiting the most polymorphisms, while Dorper was the population with the most SNPs departing from the HWE. According to the PIC value, the rs430457884-TLR2, rs55631273-TLR2, and rs416833129-TLR5 were found to be informative in detecting polymorphisms among individuals within the populations, whereas the rs429546187-TLR5 and rs424975389-TLR5 were found to have a significant influence in clustering the population studied. This study reported a moderate level of genetic variability and that a low to moderate within-breed diversity was maintained in the studied populations.
