    The daily distribution of allergic fungal spores for Bursa during 1999 was established using a 7-day volumetric Lanzoni trap. Ten of the important allergic fungal spores (Cladosporium sp., Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp. / Penicillum sp., Fusarium sp., Epicoccum sp., Drechslera sp., Pithomyces sp., Stemphylium sp., Chaetomium sp. and Curvularia sp.) were identified. The dominant spore types detected were Cladosporium 88.11%, Alternaria 4.99%, Aspergillus / Penicillum 4.65%., Fusarium 0.84%, Epicoccum 0.62%, Drechslera 0.24%, Pithomyces 0.15%, Stemphylium 0.14%, Chaetomium 0.13% and Curvularia 0.13%. Spore levels of Cladosporium, Alternaria and Aspergillus / Penicillum peaked throughout the year. Fusarium April- June, Epicoccum June-August, Dreschlera July, September, Pithomycetes March, June and August, Stemphylium June-July, Chatemium May, July, Curvularia peaked July. In conclusion, a range of allergenic fungal spores were present in the air of Bursa throughout the year.

    Efficiency of polyvalant mastitis vaccine in lactating dairy cows
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2007) Tek, Hasan Basri; Keskin, Abdülkadir; İntaş, Kamil Seyrek; Tuna, Bilginer; Yılmazbaş, Gülnaz; Özakın, Cüneyt; Ertaş, Sacit; Veteriner Fakültesi; Mikrobiyoloji ve Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Ana Bilim Dalı
    The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of a polyvalent mastitis vaccine under field conditions. Dairy cows (n=218) that had not been previously received a mastitis vaccine were separated into two treatment groups; vaccine (n=111) and control (n=107) in four different dairy farms. Initially, individual Somatic Cell Count (SCC), California Mastitis Tests (CMT) scores and clinical mastitis (CM) cases were detected. Two doses of the vaccine, 4 weeks apart, were administered in vaccine group by intramuscular injection. Cows in control group were received physiological saline. After the treatments, animals were examined monthly for SCC, CMT and CM during six months. In addition, milk samples were also taken from udder quarters of the cows with CMT +3 scores and CM for bacteriological examination. SCC of vaccine group was lower (P<0.056) than the control at the end of the study. CM rates were not significant in the vaccine (26.1%) and control (18.7%) groups. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolations from milk samples of udder quarters with CMT (+3) scores were not different in the vaccine (25.8%) and control (34.8%) groups. Streptecoccus uberis (S. uberis), Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (CNS) and Streptecoccus spp. intamammary infection (IMI) isolation rates was not different between groups. Thus, polyvalent mastitis vaccine did not have enough protective effect against mastitis, nevertheless CM that occured in vaccine group seemed to have fewer inflamation degrees.
