molecular characterisation of three regions of the nuclear ribosomal dna unit and the mitochondrial cox1 gene of sarcocystis fusiformis from water buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) in egypt.	a total of 33 macroscopically visible (3-11 × 1-5 mm) sarcocysts of sarcocystis fusiformis were excised from the oesophagus of 12 freshly slaughtered water buffalos in giza, egypt. genomic dna was extracted from the sarcocysts, and all isolates were characterised at the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (cox1) gene through pcr amplification and direct sequencing, whereas a few selected isolates were characterised at the 18s and 28s ribosomal (r) rna genes and the internal transcribed ...	2015	26051128
sarcocystis cafferi n. sp. (protozoa: apicomplexa) from the african buffalo (syncerus caffer).	sarcocystis infections have been reported from the african buffalo ( syncerus caffer ), but the species have not been named. here we propose a new name sarcocystis cafferi from the african buffalo. histological examination of heart (92), skeletal muscle (36), and tongue (2) sections from 94 buffalos from the greater kruger national park, south africa, and a review of the literature revealed only 1 species of sarcocystis in the african buffalo. macrocysts were up to 12 mm long and 6 mm wide and w ...	2014	25026178
