Sarcocystis species are intracellular protozoan parasites with complex two‐host life cycles. They infect a range of livestock and wildlife, with certain species also exhibiting zoonotic potential when ...

Sarcocystis falcatula is an apicomplexan parasite with a broad range of avian intermediate hosts. The pathology and pathogenesis of infection with this parasite has been studied experimentally in the ...

Consumption of undercooked cyst-laden meat from cattle, sheep and goats may cause infection in humans. Researchers have successfully invented a PCR kit which provides a suitable and feasible means of ...

The National Veterinary Research Institute in Poland reports the first molecular detection of Sarcocystis miescheriana in a condemned pig carcass in that country. The research confirms only the fourth ...

Scientists in Australia have identified a parasite in game deer and feral pigs for the first time. Researchers at Charles Sturt University discovered the Sarcocystis species of parasite during their ...

Infection with the coccidium Sarcocystis hominis, formerly known as Isospora hominis, is uncommon. Sarcocystis parasites are similar to I. belli in their biology, [51] but their life cycle requires ...
