| microscopic study on sarcocystis moulei from sheep and goats in saudi arabia. | the present investigation revealed that the role of natural infection with sarcocystis in sheep was 84% in niemy, 76% in najdy, 89% in sawakny sheep and 77% in goats slaughtered in riyadh, saudi arabia. the distribution of infection among the examined organs was varied from the sheep strain to goats. recorded muscle cysts were macroscopic 8-18% (mean 13.5%) and microscopic 73-85% (mean 79%). macroscopic cysts were usually detected on the oesophagus. em showed an ultrastructural similarities in t ... | 2005 | 15881014 |
| sarcocystis arieticanis (apicomplexa: sarcocystidae) infecting the heart muscles of the domestic sheep, ovis aries (artiodactyla: bovidae), from k. s. a. on the basis of light and electron microscopic data. | in the present study, the heteroxenous life cycle of sarcocystis species from three strains of the slaughtered sheep at al-azizia and al-saada abattoirs in riyadh city, k.s.a., was studied. muscle samples of the oesophagus, diaphragm, tongue, skeletal and heart muscles were examined. varied natural infection rates in the muscles of the examined sheep strains were recorded as 83% in niemy, 81.5% in najdy and 90% in sawakny sheep. muscles of the diaphragm showed the highest infection level above a ... | 2014 | 25112213 |
