Molecular Confirmation of Raptors from Spain as Definitive Hosts of Numerous Sarcocystis Species

Animals
Most raptors are flagship and umbrella species acting as ecosystem engineers. Research on avian parasites in raptors is therefore of interest. There is a lack of studies on Sarcocystis in naturally infected raptors.

Molecular differentiation of cattle Sarcocystis spp. by multiplex PCR targeting 18S and COI genes following identification of Sarcocystis hominis in human stool samples

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2020
Sarcocystis spp. are protozoan parasites which can infect a wide range of vertebrates, including humans; the latter can act as definitive hosts for two cattle Sarcocystis spp.: Sarcocystis hominis and Sarcocystis heydorni.
