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.

First Observations of Buzzards (Buteo) as Definitive Hosts of Sarcocystis Parasites Forming Cysts in the Brain Tissues of Rodents in Lithuania

Biology
Representatives of the genus Sarcocystis are worldwide distributed apicomplexan parasites characterised by two-host prey-predator relationships. Sarcocystis spp. produce sarcocysts in the muscles and brains of intermediate hosts and develop sporocysts in

Pharmacokinetics of Diclazuril in the Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid of Healthy Adult Horses After a Single Oral Dose Administered as a Pelleted Topdressing

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis can cause acute infections with rapid onset of neurologic signs, necessitating immediate empiric therapy with antiprotozoal medication. The objective of the study was to identify when concentrations of diclazuril reached the MIC of Sarcocystis neurona in CSF (1 ng/mL) of healthy adult horses after a single ...

Detection of Three Sarcocystis Species (Apicomplexa) in Blood Samples of the Bank Vole and Yellow-Necked Mouse from Lithuania

Life
The genus Sarcocystis is an abundant group of Apicomplexa parasites found in mammals, birds, and reptiles. These parasites are characterised by the formation of sarcocysts in the muscles of intermediate hosts and the development of sporocysts in the ...

Molecular Characterization of Sarcocystis Species Isolated from Sheep and Goats in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Animals, 2019
Sarcocystosis is induced by species of Sarcocystis, which is an intracellular protozoan parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa. The diversity and importance of Sarcocystis species in sheep and goats in Saudi Arabia are poorly understood.

STUDIES ON THE TOXICITY OF SARCOCYSTIS [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1969
Summary When a suspension of a rhesus monkey's muscle infected with Sarcocystis kortei spores was injected intravenously into rabbits, the animals showed toxic manifestations similar to those produced by S. tenella spores and antigen; they suffered severe diarrhoea, and collapsed and died within 4–12 hr.

Molecular and Microscopic Identification of Sarcocystis spp. in the Intestines of the Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) in Lithuania

Animals
The role of birds of the Strigiformes order in the transmission of globally distributed Sarcocystis parasites remains insufficiently studied. In the present work we aimed to evaluate the diversity of Sarcocystis species in the intestines of 22 naturally ...
