    Human Biting Plant Bug Campyloneura virgula (Hemiptera: Miridae): ): First Case Report in Türkiye
    (Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2024) Ahrabi, Salar Zarrabi; Sakaci, Zafer; Akyildiz, Guerkan; Keles, Aysen Gargili; Talay, Sengul; Kar, Sirri
    Campyloneura virgula is a plant bug found in many parts of the world. While information about the human biting of this insect is available in the literature, this is the first case report of such an incident in T & uuml;rkiye. The patient was a 44-year-old man who was bitten by Campyloneura virgula in June of 2021. Clinical signs were recorded, and the bite's effects were reduced within a few days. Possible reasons and outcomes of the incident were discussed.

    Interindividual variation among Culex pipiens larvae in terms of thermal response
    (Wiley, 2024) Sakaci, Zafer; Talay, Sengul; Erguler, Kamil; Korkmaz, Adil; Sirin, Deniz; Er, Aylin; Alten, Bulent
    This study aims to determine the phenological characteristics of thermal responses in the larvae of a Culex pipiens complex field population at the individual level under the influence of thermal regime of its habitat. The analysis is based on a structured population model quantifying the thermal responses of development time and survival under variable conditions and characterising the variety between the larvae (interindividual variety). During the study performed in Turkish Thrace on a monthly basis between May 2021 and June 2022, a total of 3744 larvae were reared as peer larval cohorts and 2330 larvae as siblings in artificial containers to be fully exposed to the natural thermal condition that was recorded hourly. The development process of larvae was monitored daily from egg to adult. As a result, a total of 4788 adult mosquitoes emerged, with a development period ranging from 8 to 52 days in the females and 7 to 50 days in the males, and the survival rate was found to range from 0% to 100%. Both parameters varied by month and individuals, and the variations manifested itself, particularly in the colder periods. The results indicate that the variation between the individuals in terms of thermal response in the larvae of C. pipiens, along with the thermal acclimation ability, appears to be fate determinant in resisting fluctuating thermal regimes, surviving in concurrent climate change and adapting to new conditions with modifications in the seasonal phenology, such as maintaining reproductive dynamics throughout the winter thanks to global warming.

    Monthly infestation characteristics of ticks in dogs in Turkish Thrace: Possible urbanization trends in some sylvatic tick species
    (Systematic & Applied Acarology Soc London, Natural History Museum, 2023) Uruc, Berkan; Talay, Sengul; Sakaci, Zafer; Sirin, Deniz; Kar, Sirri
    In recent decades, significant increases and/or drastic changes have been recorded in the prevalence, intensity, and distribution of ticks worldwide, which are known to be fueled by the climate change. However, there are many intertwined drivers affecting ticks, the degree of their influence of which is contingent and difficult to determine, and it is known that elucidating the factors is crucial to understand the current tick ecology and predicting the future trend. This study was carried out to determine monthly dynamics of tick infestation in owned and stray dogs under the influence of hot dry summer sub-type of the Mediterranean climate in Thrace region, European part of Turkey. During the survey performed in 2017 on monthly basis, 1605 different dogs from ten different localities in Thrace were examined for ticks. Infestation was determined in 137 (8.54%) dogs. The highest monthly prevalence (34.03%) was recorded in May. In total, 1033 ticks (1008 adults, 25 nymphs) belonging to the following species have been identified with different monthly and total prevalence and intensity: Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato, Haemaphysalis parva, Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes acuminatus, and Ixodes kaiseri. The results indicated that degradation and destruction of natural habitats under the influence of human effect seem likely to cause/facilitate/accelerate the entering some wild animal species, and therefore their ticks, to the urbanized environments via afforested woodlands and gardens in the periurbans, and dogs in such areas seem to play a supportive role in the maintenance of some tick species, including those with primarily sylvatic cycle, such as I. acuminatus and I. kaiseri.
