Abstract Background Six Sarcocystis species are known to use cattle ( Bos taurus ) as the intermediate host, two of which, S . hominis and heydorni , zoonotic. There is a need for method that will enable rapid identification in cattle. Methods The diaphragm muscles 102 from Lithuania were examined presence spp., using different methods identification. Individual sarcocysts isolated squash preparations muscle under light microscope, followed by genetic characterisation excised cysts sequence...
Members of the family Corvidae are ecologically flexible omnivorous birds, particularly adaptive to urban habitats, and living in proximity humans; these birds may serve as definitive hosts (DH) for Sarcocystis spp., but research about this is lacking. In present study, intestinal samples from 91 corvids collected Lithuania were molecularly tested by species-specific PCR targeting ITS1 cox1 genes subsequently sequenced presence spp. Under a light microscope, oocysts observed 43 (47.3%),...
Abstract Background The cyst-forming coccidia of the genus Sarcocystis (Sarcocystidae) are widespread protists mammals, particularly domestic and wild ruminants. Research on in members subfamily Caprinae is, however, rather limited. Alpine ibex ( Capra ) have only been investigated depth once then solely by morphological techniques. In current investigation we aimed to morphologically genetically characterise species Austria. Methods Sarcocysts detected diaphragm myocardium muscles were...
Data on the distribution of different Sarcocystis species in various muscles sheep are scarce. In present study, 190 diaphragm, oesophagus, and heart muscle samples 69 raised Lithuania were examined for presence spp. Under a light microscope, two morphological types microcysts corresponding to S. arieticanis tenella detected. Eight 12 sarcocysts tenella, respectively, isolated characterised by sequencing portion cox1. The sequence comparisons revealed highest similarity between European...
Typically, carnivores serve as definitive hosts for Sarcocystis spp. parasites; currently, their role intermediate is being elucidated. The present study aimed to identify and molecularly characterize cysts detected in striated muscle of red foxes from different populations Latvia, Lithuania Spain. Muscle samples 411 (Vulpes vulpes) 269 racoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) 41 22 Spain were examined the presence sarcocysts by light microscopy (LM). identified transmission electron (TEM)...
Numerous rodent species have been broadly examined for Sarcocystis parasites. Nevertheless, recent investigations on spp. in voles are lacking. As many as 45 bank (Clethrionomys glareolus) captured several locations Lithuania were the present study. Based morphological, genetic, and phylogenetic results, sarcocysts detected one vole described myodes n. sp. Using light microscopy analysis, observed ribbon-shaped, 6000−3000 × 70−220 µm size. Sarcocysts characterized by a relatively thin (about...
Members of the genus Sarcocystis are frequently found infecting members family Cervidae. Although species generally host specific for their intermediate hosts, in cervids appear to be less specific. Here, we report fallow deer (Dama dama) as a new morae, originally described from red (Cervus elaphus). Tongues 69 legally hunted animals Spain were tested sarcocysts, and characterized by light microscopy, ultrastructurally molecularly. Sarcocysts identified 66.7% D. dama. had thin (<2 µm thick)...
