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 ...
