| mouse (mus musculus) as intermediate host of sarcocystis sp. from the goshawk (accipiter gentilis). | sporocysts from the goshawk (accipiter gentilis) were experimentally transferred to the mouse (mus musculus). it was found that the goshawk is the host of one of the sarcosporidians inducing muscle sarcocystosis in mice. thin-walled, sporulated oocysts expelled by the goshawk measured 16.5-19.0 x 12.0-13.0 micron. those which measured 12.0-13.5 x 8.2-9.0 micron were widely elliptical, with rounded poles. no asexual reproduction of parasites was detected in the viscera of mice. the cysts started ... | 1986 | 3084365 |
