Prevalence of Sarcocystis calchasi in free-ranging host species: Accipiter hawks and Common Woodpigeon in Germany [PDF]

, 2012
The apicomplexan parasite Sarcocystis calchasi (S. calchasi) triggers pigeon protozoal encephalitis, a neurologic disease in columbids. Accipiter hawks have been identified as the final host, and Columbidae and Psittaciformes as intermediate hosts.

Sarcocystis Species (Apicomplexa, Eucoccidiorida) Parasitizing Snakes

Parasitologia, 2023
The genus Sarcocystis has approximately 200 species that are able to infect homeothermic and poikilothermic animals. So far, 23 Sarcocystis spp. have snakes as definitive hosts (DHs) and mammals and/or reptiles as intermediate hosts (IHs).

Foodborne and waterborne zoonotic sarcocystosis

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2015
The ingestion of raw beef or pork infected with Sarcocystis can cause illness in humans. Nausea and vomiting can occur within three days of consuming infected meat; these symptoms are considered due to toxic substances in sarcocysts or to other factors ...

The Role of Birds of the Family Corvidae in Transmitting Sarcocystis Protozoan Parasites

Animals, 2021
Members of the family Corvidae are ecologically flexible omnivorous birds, particularly adaptive to urban habitats, and living in proximity to humans; these birds may serve as definitive hosts (DH) for Sarcocystis spp., but research about this is lacking.

Molecular Identification and Prevalence of Sarcocystis Suihominis in Pork Meat Intended for Public Consumption

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Veterinary Medicine, 2017
Protozoa of the genus Sarcocystis are among the most prevalent parasitic forms found in pork. In order to rapidly assess the risk that this protozoa produce  in human population, a molecular method to detect and identify Sarcocystis suihominis needs to ...
