Özet

A male badger (Males meles) died in a traffic accident admitted to the Parasitology Lab of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Ondokuz Mars University was examined systemically. Parasitological examination revealed that the badger was infected with 3 ectoparasites and 3 endoparasites. Following ectoparasites were detected; one flea (Paraceras melis) and two ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and as endoparasites one cestode (Mesocestoides ealesi and two nematode species (Aonchotheca putorii, Molineus patens). Badger is a new host for all parasites in Turkey, while M. melesi is the first report for the helminth fauna of Turkey.
