| sarcocystis | A genus of protozoa found in reptiles, birds, and mammals, including humans. This heteroxenous parasite produces muscle cysts in intermediate hosts such as domestic herbivores (cattle, sheep, pigs) and rodents. Final hosts are predators such as dogs, cats, and man. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Sarcocystis bovihominis | A species now recognised as a two-host infection, with beef serving as the intermediate host source of infective tissue cysts to humans, as the final host. Gamogony and sporogony occur in mucosal cells of the human small intestine; cattle become infected from human faeces contaminated with Sarcocystis hominis sporocysts. Synonym: Sarcocystis bovihominis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sarcocystis fusiformis | A species found in the striated and heart muscle of cattle and water buffalo. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sarcocystis hominis | A species now recognised as a two-host infection, with beef serving as the intermediate host source of infective tissue cysts to humans, as the final host. Gamogony and sporogony occur in mucosal cells of the human small intestine; cattle become infected from human faeces contaminated with Sarcocystis hominis sporocysts. Synonym: Sarcocystis bovihominis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sarcocystis lindemanni | A species described on rare occasions from the striated and heart muscles of humans, probably as an infection due to various species, possibly from domestic dogs or other final hosts from which infective oocysts or sporocysts were passed to man via water or direct exposure; in these instances man serves as an intermediate rather than a final host. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sarcocystis miescheriana | A common species of worldwide distribution that is found in the striated and heart muscle of pigs; it is the type species of the genus Sarcocystis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sarcocystis suihominis | A form of Sarcocystis in which man serves as the final host, with the pig serving as intermediate host, the source of infected tissues to humans. The life cycle and moderate disease induced follow the pattern of Sarcocystis hominis, though the disease appears to be somewhat more pathogenic. Human infection is widespread, having been reported in Europe, the Mediterranean area, northern and western Africa, Indonesia, and South America. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sarcocystis tenella | An extremely common species of worldwide distribution that is found in the striated and heart muscle of sheep and goats. (05 Mar 2000) |
