| characterization of sarcocystis fusiformis based on sequencing and pcr-rflp in water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) in iran. | four sarcocystis species, i.e., sarcocystis fusiformis and sarcocystis buffalonis with cats as definitive hosts, sarcocystis levinei with dogs as definitive host, and sarcocystis dubeyi with unknown definitive host, have previously been described from water buffalo (bubalus bubalis). the aim of the present study was genetic characterization of the causative agent(s) of water buffalo sarcocystosis in khuzestan province, western iran. rflp-pcr and partial sequence analysis of 18s rdna gene were us ... | 2011 | 21526403 |
| prevalence, biology, and distribution pattern of sarcocystis infection in water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) in iran. | this study was conducted to determine the prevalence, distribution pattern, and the sarcocystis species involved in slaughtered water buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) in the khuzestan, iran by macroscopic and histological examination. the esophagus, heart, diaphragm, tongue, masseter, and thigh muscles were investigated. esophagus and thigh muscles of only 3 of the 100 examined water buffaloes (3%) were infected with macroscopic sarcocystis, whereas at microscopic level sarcocystis were found in 83 o ... | 2010 | 20524065 |
| prevalence of subclinical coccidiosis in river buffalo calves of southwest of iran. | despite the importance of buffalo farming in iran, little is known in this country about the abundance and distribution of eimeria spp. in the animal species. the present study was designed to investigate the prevalence and species characterization of eimeria oocysts in river buffalo calves of khuzestan province, southwest of iran. of the total 108 fecal samples examined for eimeria, 108 (100%) were found infected with 11 species of the parasite. among the identified species of eimeria, e. bovis ... | 2013 | 24338314 |
