Simple Summary In many European countries, game meat consumption is related to the
traditional hunting culture. Its demand and consumption are increasing, also due to the …

Abstract Ninety-seven (64.67%) out of 150 domestic goats (Capra hiricus) carcasses were
found to be infected by Sarcocystis moulei, Sarcocystis capracanis, and Sarcocystis …

Abstract Background Six Sarcocystis species are known to use cattle (Bos taurus) as the
intermediate host, two of which, S. hominis and S. heydorni, are zoonotic. There is a need for …

The major aim of the present study was to determine by molecular methods whether the
wide and narrow types of macroscopic sarcocysts in Spanish sheep belonged to different …

Red deer (Cervus elaphus) carcasses showing grey-greenish discolouration have been
increasingly observed in the canton of Grisons, Switzerland. We investigated whether …

Various muscle samples of wild boar (Sus scrofa) from Latvia were studied for the presence
of Sarcocystis infection by means of morphological and molecular methods. Sarcocysts were …

Previous morphological studies suggested that mouflon may have sarcocysts similar to
those of sheep. However, to date, no molecular-based studies of the species of Sarcocystis …

In this study, for the first time, Sarcocystis species were identified molecularly in sika deer
(Cervus nippon) that form free-ranging populations in several countries of Europe …

Due to the lack of molecular research conducted, little is known about Sarcocystis species
diversity in the fallow deer (Dama dama). Until now, Sarcocystis jorrini and Sarcocystis …

Samples of diaphragm were collected from 53 sika deer from Gifu Prefecture, Japan; 220
