| generalized eosinophilic myositis with sarcosporidiosis in a finnish cow. | a case of generalized eosinophilic myositis with sarcosporidiosis in a finnish cow is reported. the whole carcass was condemned because of massive changes in skeletal muscles. cat or man are the final hosts of sarcocystis bovifelis or sarcocystis hominis. the aetiology of eosinophilic myositis remains open and so does the question whether sarcosporidiosis has something to do with it. | 1980 | 6767223 |
| a survey of bovine, bubaline and swine sarcocystosis in the philippines. | in a survey conducted from january to december, 1994, muscle tissues in 12 out of 22 slaughtered carabaos ages 8-17 years old and obtained from the food terminal inc, abbatoir in laguna showed numerous white and creamy elliptic-shaped soft bodied macrocysts in the throat muscles. microscopic examination of the throat and cardiac muscle tissues revealed the presence of fusiform-shaped microcysts. our observations are consistent with previous reports incriminating sarcocystis fusiformis as the mos ... | 1997 | 9656372 |
| molecular characterisation of sarcocystis bovifelis, sarcocystis bovini n. sp., sarcocystis hirsuta and sarcocystis cruzi from cattle (bos taurus) and sarcocystis sinensis from water buffaloes (bubalus bubalis). | about 200 individual sarcocysts were excised from 12 samples of cattle beef from five countries (argentina, brazil, germany, new zealand, uruguay) and tentatively identified to species or cyst type on the basis of their size and shape and cyst wall morphology. genomic dna was extracted from 147 of these sarcocysts and used initially for pcr amplification and sequencing of the partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit i gene (cox1) in order to identify the sarcocysts to species and/or se ... | 2016 | 26677095 |
| domestic cats (felis catus) are definitive hosts for sarcocystis sinensis from water buffaloes (bubalus bubalis). | the definitive hosts of sarcocystis sinensis in water buffaloes have hitherto been unknown, but the close similarity of this species to the cat-transmitted sarcocystis bovifelis in cattle suggested they were felids. in a previous study, two domestic cats were fed macroscopic sarcocysts of sarcocystis fusiformis contained within or dissected from the esophageal muscles of water buffaloes, while no microscopic sarcocysts of s. sinensis were noticed. both cats started shedding small numbers of spor ... | 2016 | 27075117 |
| the resurrection of a species: sarcocystis bovifelis heydorn et al., 1975 is distinct from the current sarcocystis hirsuta in cattle and morphologically indistinguishable from sarcocystis sinensis in water buffaloes. | in the mid-1970s, it was established through transmission experiments and ultrastructural studies of sarcocysts by transmission electron microscopy (tem) that cattle was the intermediate host of three sarcocystis spp. using dogs, cats and humans, respectively, as definitive hosts. the cat-transmitted species with microscopic sarcocysts was initially named sarcocystis bovifelis, but it was soon renamed sarcocystis hirsuta, since it was considered to be identical with a previously named species. i ... | 2016 | 26462803 |
