In Vitro Antiparasitic Effects of Silver Nanoparticles on Sarcocystis Bradyzoites

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
In vitro, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit dose and time‐dependent antiparasitic activity against Sarcocystis bradyzoites from sheep, achieving up to 59.53% mortality at 800 µg/mL after 120 min. These results suggest AgNPs may be a potential alternative to traditional drugs, meriting further in vivo investigation for veterinary use.

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...

The Role of Mustelids in the Transmission of Sarcocystis spp. Using Cattle as Intermediate Hosts

Animals, 2021
There is a lack of research on the role of mustelids in the transmission of various Sarcocystis spp. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that widespread mustelids in Lithuania could be involved in the transmission of Sarcocystis spp.

The Effectiveness of Postharvest Processing on Microbiological Safety of Game Meat—A Systematic Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...

The Genetic Identification of Numerous Apicomplexan Sarcocystis Species in Intestines of Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)

Animals
The common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) was previously shown to transmit two Sarcocystis species (S. glareoli and S. microti) forming cysts in the brains of rodents. Due to a lack of research, the richness of Sarcocystis species spread by these birds of prey is

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis—Presentation and progression

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 132-134, March 2026.
Summary Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) remains one of the most frequently diagnosed neurological disorders of horses in North America, caused primarily by Sarcocystis neurona and less commonly Neospora hughesi. The clinical presentation is highly variable due to multifocal involvement of both grey and white matter, with asymmetric ataxia and ...
