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.

Morphological and molecular characterization of Sarcocystis cameli and Sarcocystis ippeni from the muscles of One-Humped Camel (Camelus dromedarius ) in New valley Governorate, Egypt.

SVU-International Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2021
Sarcocystis spp. are cysts-forming coccidian parasites which infect several animals including camels as intermediate hosts. The present study was designed to study the Sarcocystis infection in camels (Camelus dromedaries) at morphological and molecular ...

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 ...

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).

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 ...

Sarcocystis moreliae sp. nov. in the imported green tree python Morelia cf. viridis (Reptilia, Pythonidae)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Species of Sarcocystis use various vertebrates as intermediate or definitive hosts in their life cycles. One of these is snakes, whose role as intermediate hosts for these protozoans is scarce; in fact, there are six records, but only three with ...

Morphological and molecular phylogenetic characterization of Sarcocystis kani sp. nov. and other novel, closely related Sarcocystis spp. infecting small mammals and colubrid snakes in Asia

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023
We investigated the morphology and phylogenetic relationships of novel and previously recognized Sarcocystis spp. infecting small mammals and colubrid snakes in Asia.

Molecular Identification of Sarcocystis sp. (Apicomplexa, Sarcocystidae) in Offspring of Tengmalm's Owls, Aegolius funereus (Aves, Strigidae)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Background: Birds act as intermediate or definitive hosts of cyst-forming coccidia parasites of the genus Sarcocystis Lankester, 1882. However, the spectrum of species of Sarcocystis in birds and the role of the latter in the transmission of coccidia are

High Diversity of Sarcocystis Species Identified in Intestines of Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from Lithuania

Animals
Sarcocystis spp. are apicomplexan parasites with an obligatory two-host prey–predator life cycle. While the intermediate hosts (IHs) of many species are well known, the definitive hosts (DH) of numerous Sarcocystis spp., especially those involving ...

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.
