Abstract:

Purpose: In this study, Cryptosporidium spp is used for drinking, agricultural irrigation and reactionary purposes within the limits of the Isparta lake. and Giardia spp. It is intended to be evaluated from a seasonal point of view to the presence of parasites. Method: The research was carried out between July 2016 and January 2017 and water samples were taken in 3 different seasons from 5 different stations in Eğirdir Lake. Examples were painted with Modified Acid Fast (MAF) after examination with Direct Care (Native-Lugol). The preparations are evaluated in the microscope of light from a parasitological point of view. Results: In the study, 15 water samples were seasonally studied in the summer months of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia spp. The existence has been determined. The average of the seasonal maximum in the summer months is 99. Cryptosporidium spp with 2 intensity, then Giardia spp with 93.3% intensity. The existence has been identified. In addition, in the study, in the autumn and winter months, parasites were again intensely detected. The result: The use of the Lake Turmeric in the daily needs causes the widespread production of farming around the lake and the use of some areas around the lake as a plantation area to cause the excess of the protozoons identified. As a result, the study was carried out in Eğirdir Lake, especially in the periods of swimming tourism, by conducting parasitological studies, research is needed to determine the protozoon epidemicology in humans and animals in this area. In addition, it is important to carry out adequate dezinfection procedures for public health in the areas where Lake Eğirdir is used as drinking water and to plan the necessary control programmes.
