Ivanov, A. (Trakia University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Stara Zagora (Bulgaria))
Four lambs and four kids were infected with Sarcocystis cysts, obtained from 2 experimentally invaded dogs. They were subsequently euthanized at the 100th day after the infection. Muscle samples from the tongue, heart, forelimb and hindlimb were obtained and studied by electron microscopy. Sarcocystis macrocysts were further collected from 20 sheep in 2 slaughterhouses in Stara Zagora. Parts of the cysts were prepared for electron microscopical investigation. The studies showed three Sarcocystis spp. in sheep - S. tenella (S. ovicans), S. arieticanis and S. gigantea (S. ovifelis) and two in goats - S. capracanis and S. hircicanis. The morphological features of cyst protrusions, the primary cyst wall and the presence or lack of a secondary cyst wall, specific for Sarcocystis in sheep and goats, were described.
