Recolonizing gray wolves increase parasite infection risk in their prey [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 2160-2170, February 2018., 2018
The recolonization of Central Europe by the gray wolf (Canis lupus) allows for the study of parasite transmission dynamics of the protozoan Sarcocystis, which uses wolves as definitive host and their prey as intermediate hosts, respectively. Our study indicates that wolves have returned as the apex predator of red deer (Cervus elaphus), resurrecting ...

Effects of irradiation on the survival of Sarcocystis bradyzoites in beef. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
• The mortality rate of Sarcocystis bradyzoites increased with increasing radiation dose. The highest mortality rate of Sarcocystis bradyzoites by electron beam and gamma irradiation was at a dose of 2 kGy with 92.5% and 100%, respectively. Gamma rays able to eliminate Sarcocystis bradyzoites in infected meat better than electron beam irradiation ...

Molecular Identification, Pathogenesis, and Life Cycle of Sarcocystis cruzi from Cattle (Bos taurus) in New Valley Governorate, Egypt

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Sarcocystis cruzi was identified by molecular methods from an intermediate host, cattle (Bos taurus), in El‐Kharga, New Valley Governorate, Egypt, and its life cycle and pathogenicity were studied in the final host, dogs (Canis familiaris). 600 slaughtered cattle aged 6–8 years (480/120 males/females) were included.

Visna in a UK flock and the biosecurity risk arising from the onward sale of likely infected pedigree stock

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Small ruminant lentivirus infections in sheep most commonly present with respiratory signs (maedi) and indurative mastitis, while primary neurological signs (visna) have rarely been reported in Great Britain (GB). Most reports of visna describe signs referable to myelitis, although central signs associated with encephalitis may feature.
