Alkhurma Hemorrhagic Fever Virus RNA in Hyalomma rufipes Ticks Infesting Migratory Birds, Europe and Asia Minor
Hoffman, Tove; Lindeborg, Mats; Barboutis, Christos; Erciyas-Yavuz, Kiraz; Evander, Magnus; Fransson, Thord; Salaneck, Erik (Centers Disease Control, 2018)Alkhurma hemorrhagic fever virus RNA was detected in immature Hyalomma rufipes ticks infesting northward migratory birds caught in the North Mediterranean Basin. This finding suggests a role for birds in the ecology of the ... -
Are there different requirements for trace elements in eumelanin- and pheomelanin-based color production? A case study of two passerine species
Zduniak, Piotr; Surmacki, Adrian; Erciyas-Yavuz, Kiraz; Chudzinska, Maria; Baralkiewicz, Danuta (Elsevier Science Inc, 2014)Melanin is the most common pigment in animal integuments including bird plumage. It has been shown that several trace elements may play roles in the production and signaling function of melanin-colored plumage. We investigated ... -
Capturing migratory birds and examining for ticks (Acari: Ixodida)
Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) are hematophagous ectoparasites of a wide variety of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and are the vectors of many pathogenic agents, such as bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. The seasonal ... -
Emergence of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever
Leblebicioglu, Hakan; Ozaras, Resat; Erciyas-Yavuz, Kiraz (Oxford Univ Press, 2015)Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a life-threatening tick-borne infection in Africa and Eurasia. Although knowledge of epidemiology is increasing, the global extent and risk of infection is not well described. A ... -
Laser ablation-ICP-MS in search of element pattern in feathers
Hanc, Anetta; Zduniak, Piotr; Erciyas-Yavuz, Kiraz; Sajnog, Adam; Baralkiewicz, Danuta (Elsevier Science Bv, 2017)The laser ablation-ICP-MS method was used for a quantitative assessment of the distribution of elements Al, Ba, Ca, Cu, Mg, Mn, Pb, Sr, and Zn in feathers. We analysed the rectrices of first-year red-breasted flycatchers ... -
A possible mutualistic interaction between vertebrates: frogs use water buffaloes as a foraging place
Zduniak, Piotr; Erciyas-Yavuz, Kiraz; Tryjanowski, Piotr (Firenze Univ Press, 2017)Mutualisms shape biodiversity by influencing the ecology and the evolution of populations and communities. For example, among many others, birds commonly forage in association with large mammals, including livestock, but ... -
A Preliminary Investigation on Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) Infesting Birds in Kizilirmak Delta, Turkey
Keskin, Adem; Erciyas-Yavuz, Kiraz (Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2016)Ticks are mandatory blood-feeding ectoparasites of mammals, birds, reptiles, and even amphibians. Turkey has a rich bird fauna and is located on the main migration route for many birds. However, information on ticks infesting ... -
Role of Migratory Birds in Spreading Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Turkey
Leblebicioglu, Hakan; Eroglu, Cafer; Erciyas-Yavuz, Kiraz; Hokelek, Murat; Acici, Mustafa; Yilmaz, Hava (Centers Disease Control, 2014)We investigated migratory birds' role in spreading Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) through attached ticks. We detected CCHFV RNA in ticks on migratory birds in Turkey. Two isolates showed similarity with CCHFV ... -
Spring and autumn migration of the red-breasted flycatcher through the Kizilirmak delta, Turkey
Erciyas-Yavuz, Kiraz; Zduniak, Piotr; Baris, Y. Sancar (Oxford Univ Press, 2015)The red-breasted flycatcher Ficedula parva is a small passerine bird that breeds in Eastern Europe and across central Asia and winters on the Indian subcontinent. Birds from the western extreme of the breeding range migrating ... -
Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) Parasitizing Passerine Birds in Turkey With New Records and New Tick-Host Associations
Keskin, Adem; Erciyas-Yavuz, Kiraz (Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2019)In 2016 spring and autumn migration seasons, 7,992 birds belonging to 83 species, 51 genera, 34 families, and 12 orders were examined for tick (Acari: Ixodidae) infestation in the Kzlrmak Delta, Samsun, Turkey. A total of ...
