Nevole M., L. Malota, B. Koudela: Catalytic Activities of Selected Serum Enzymes in Experimental Sarcocystosis in Calves. Acta vet. Brno, 55, 1986: 81-84. , , Activities of blood serum enzymes, creatine kinase (CPK, EC 2.7.3.2.), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT, EC 2.3.2.1.) were investigated in seven calves during the course of experimental sarcocy...

Sarcocystis nesbitti is an intracellular protozoan parasite found as sarcocysts within muscle fibers of intermediate hosts (monkey and baboon). The definitive host is suspected to be the snake. We report two cases from a larger cohort of 89 patients who had fever, headache, and generalized myalgia after a trip to Pangkor Island, Malaysia. Sarcocysts were detected in skeletal muscle biopsy speci...

Introduction: The main agents of sarcocystosis in cattle as an intermediate host include S. cruzi, S. hominis and S. hirsuta. A sensitive and specific tool such as molecular-based techniques would be necessary to identify the species. Case report: After collection of beef sample from Yazd slaughterhouse, DNA extraction was done with salting out method. The 18SrRNA gene as a specific target gene...

sarcocystosis has been reported from most parts of the world, including ruminant animals in iran. based on this, immunoelectrophoresis profile of sarcocystis and comparison between serum and necropsy findings to determine sensitivity and specifity of counterimmunoelectrophoresis (cie) was undertaken. for this purpose, serum was collected from a total number of 100 sheep. soluble antigen provide...

Sarcocystosis considerably occurs in a wide host range including animals, reptiles, humans, and birds. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Sarcocystis spp. using abattoir inspection, genetic characterization, as well histopathology water buffaloes two provinces, Elbehera Kafrelsheikh, Egypt. Specimens were collected from esophagus, tongue, masseters 400 slaughtered (n= 215) ...

The present status of food-borne parasitic zoonoses in West Germany is characterized by a relatively high frequency of toxoplasmosis, sarcocystosis and Taenia saginata infections. From empirical data it can be estimated that 4% of the German population become infected per year by Toxoplasma gondii as well as by Sarcocystis species (S. hominis, S. suihominis). The number of T. saginata infected ...
