Breeding medicinal leeches in controlled environments is extremely important in order to prevent their extinction. Moreover, due to medicinal leeches coming into contact with the patient's blood, breeding medicinal leeches in hygienic conditions is essential to prevent possible complications. In this study, breeding patterns of Hirudo verbana were studied in controlled conditions and the effects of various moist environments were examined. Peat, hydrogel and chopped sponge materials were compared in terms of number of cocoon and offspring in medicinal leech breeding. Peat and hydrogel environments didn’t show any statistically significant difference for number of cocoon and offspring breeding. Cocoon per leech was 3.13 ± 0.74 for peat and 2.80 ± 0.56 for hydrogel respectively. Offspring per cocoon was 11.81 ± 2.27 for peat and 12.52 ± 1.98 for hydrogel (P>0.05) respectively. In conclusion, hydrogel could be a new material for medicinal leech cocoon deposition environment especially for laboratory breeders.

Tıbbi sülüklerin kontrollü ortamda yetiştiriciliğinin yapılabilmesi, sülük neslinin tükenmesinin engellenmesi için büyük önem taşımaktadır. Ayrıca tıbbi sülüklerin, hijyenik koşullarda yetiştirilmesi, insan sağlığı için kullanım aşamasında istenmeyen komplikasyonların engellenmesi için gereklidir. Bu çalışmada, Hirudo verbana türünün yetiştiriciliği kontrollü ortamlarda yürütülmüş ve çeşitli nemli ortamların etkileri incelenmiştir. Torf, hidrojel ve kırpılmış süngerin koza ve koza içindeki yavru sayısı üzerine etkileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Torf ve hidrojel ortamları koza ve yavru sayısına etki edecek istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemiştir. Sülük başına koza sayısı torf için 3.13 ± 0.74, hidrojel için ise 2.80 ± 0.56 olarak belirlenmiştir. Koza başına yavru sayısı torf için 11.81 ± 2.27 hidrojel için ise 12.52 ± 1.98 olarak belirlenmiştir (P>0.05). Sonuç olarak, hidrojel özellikle laboratuvarda tıbbi sülük üretimi yapanlar için yeni bir koza bırakma ortamı materyali olabilecektir.
