Dogs as sources and sentinels of parasites in humans and wildlife, northern Canada [PDF]

, 2008
A minimum of 11 genera of parasites, including 7 known or suspected to cause zoonoses, were detected in dogs in 2 northern Canadian communities. Dogs in remote settlements receive minimal veterinary care and may serve as sources and sentinels for ...

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 ...

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

Spatial epidemiological patterns suggest mechanisms of land-sea transmission for Sarcocystis neurona in a coastal marine mammal. [PDF]

, 2020
Sarcocystis neurona was recognised as an important cause of mortality in southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) after an outbreak in April 2004 and has since been detected in many marine mammal species in the Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Accipiter hawks and Common Woodpigeon in Germany [PDF]

, 2018
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.

Molecular identification of four Sarcocystis species in the herring gull, Larus argentatus, from Lithuania

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Birds of the family Laridae have not been intensively examined for infections with Sarcocystis spp. To date, sarcocysts of two species, S. lari and S. wobeseri, have been identified in the muscles of gulls.

Molecular identification of Sarcocystis species in raw hamburgers using PCR–RFLP method in Kashan, central Iran [PDF]

, 2017
The prevalence of bovine Sarcocystosis is high in the most regions of the world. It can be a human health problem due to consumption of raw or under cooked hamburgers or other bovine meat products. This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence

Evidence for high levels of vertical transmission in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]

, 2009
Toxoplasma gondii is a highly ubiquitous and prevalent parasite. Despite the cat being the only definitive host, it is found in almost all geographical areas and warm blooded animals. Three routes of transmission are recognised: ingestion of oocysts shed
