Molecular differentiation of Sarcocystis buffalonis and Sarcocystis levinei in water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) from Sarcocystis hirsuta and Sarcocystis cruzi in cattle (Bos taurus)

Parasitology Research, 2016
The purpose of the present study was to obtain sarcocysts of Sarcocystis buffalonis and Sarcocystis levinei from water buffaloes and characterize the isolates by molecular methods in order to determine whether the two species were genetically different from Sarcocystis hirsuta and Sarcocystis cruzi, respectively, from cattle, which had been ...

Molecular characterisation of Sarcocystis bovifelis, Sarcocystis bovini n. sp., Sarcocystis hirsuta and Sarcocystis cruzi from cattle (Bos taurus) and Sarcocystis sinensis from water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)

Parasitology Research, 2015
About 200 individual sarcocysts were excised from 12 samples of cattle beef from five countries (Argentina, Brazil, Germany, New Zealand, Uruguay) and tentatively identified to species or cyst type on the basis of their size and shape and cyst wall morphology.

Ultrastructure of Sarcocystis tenella (Sarcocystis ovicanis)

Veterinary Parasitology, 1989
The ultrastructure of the parasitophorous cyst, the metrocytes and merozoites of Sarcocystis tenella (S. ovicanis) was studied. The general ultrastructural features of the cyst wall and the cells of the protozoan, previously described by other authors, were confirmed.

In vitro Excystation of Sarcocystis capracanis, Sarcocystis cruzi and Sarcocystis tenella (Apicomplexa)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1986
Improved rates of in vitro excystation of sporozoites from sporocysts of Sarcocystis capracanis, Sarcocystis cruzi, and Sarcocystis tenella were obtained by pretreating sporocysts with an aqueous sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution followed by incubation in excysting fluid (EF).

Sarcocystis encephalitis in a cockatiel

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1984
A sporozoan organism was considered to be the causative agent of central nervous system disease in a cockatiel. The ultrastructural characteristics were typical of the coccidian group Apicomplexa, and the fact that organisms were free within the cytoplasm of infected cells and not within a vacuole, indicated they were Sarcocystis.

Antibodies to Sarcocystis in Malaysians

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1978
Sera from 243 donors belonging to the four main ethnic groups in West Malaysia (Orang Asli, Malays, Chinese and Indians) were tested, using the indirect fluorescent antibody technique for the prevalence of antibodies to Sarcocystis. Almost 20% reacted positively at dilutions of 1:64 or higher and eight among the Orang Asli and Malays gave the highest ...

Unraveling Sarcocystis miescheriana and Sarcocystis suihominis infections in wild boar

Veterinary Parasitology, 2015
Sarcocystis species are worldwide spread cyst-forming protozoa that can infect wild boar but little is known about the prevalence of these parasites. In this study we assessed the prevalence of Sarcocystis spp. infections in wild boars from northeastern Portugal, for which novel PCR testing assays targeting Sarcocystis genus, S.

Are Sarcocystis neurona and Sarcocystis falcatula Synonymous? A Horse Infection Challenge

The Journal of Parasitology, 1999
Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a debilitating neurologic disease of the horse. The causative agent. Sarcocystis neurona, has been suggested to be synonymous with Sarcocystis falcatula, implying a role for birds as intermediate hosts. To test this hypothesis, opossums (Didelphis virginiana) were fed muscles containing S.
