| characterization of bovine sarcocystis species by analysis of their 18s ribosomal dna sequences. | two sarcocystis hirsuta isolates from 2 cattle (bos taurus), 2 sarcocystis hominis-like isolates from 2 cattle, 1 each sarcocystis hominis-like isolate from a zoo-born dwarf zebu (b. taurus) and from a zoo-born bison (bison bison), and 1 each sarcocystis cruzi isolate from the dwarf zebu and the bison have been characterized by comparing the directly sequenced polymerase chain reaction products of their 18s rrna genes. sequences of 2 different isolates from the same species always showed a very ... | 1998 | 9488337 |
| sarcocystis cruzi infection in wood bison (bison bison athabascae). | endangered wood bison (bison bison athabascae) is the largest terrestrial mammal in the american continent. animal health is an important issue in their conservation, and sarcocystis cruzi may be a cause of clinical disease in bovidae. hearts of eight wood bison from alaska, usa were examined for sarcocysts by histology, transmission electron microscopy, pepsin digestion, and molecularly. sarcocystis bradyzoites were found in pepsin digests of all eight and sarcocysts were found in histologic se ... | 2015 | 25868849 |
