| 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) |
| sarcocystosis | Infection of the striated muscle of mammals by parasites of the genus sarcocystis. Disease symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle weakness, and paralysis are produced by sarcocystin, a toxin produced by the organism. (12 Dec 1998) |

| sarcocyst |
1. a protozoan of the genus Sarcocystis. 2. one of the elongated, fusiform, cylindrical, membrane-bound hyaline bodies containing the numerous crescentic or banana-shaped, uninucleate trophozoites (Rainey's corpuscles) of the protozoan Sarcocystis, found in the muscles of those with sarcocystosis. Called also Miescher's tube or tubule, Rainey's tube or tubule, and sarcosporidian cyst.

| sarcocystosis |
infection with protozoa of the genus Sarcocystis, which in humans is usually asymptomatic or manifested either by muscle cysts associated with myositis or myocarditis or by intestinal infection. It is usually transmitted by the eating of raw or undercooked beef or pork containing sporocysts of the parasites or by ingestion of sporocysts from the feces of an infected animal, usually in contaminated soil. Heavy infections in cattle and other animals may be associated with anorexia, emaciation, fever, nervousness, lameness, hypersalivation, anemia, and abortion. Called also sarcosporidiasis and sarcosporidiosis.
