Abstract
The development of a dog:goat species of Sarcocystis was studied experimentally in goats. Schizogony in vascular endothelium at 18 and 19 days after infection was associated with-pyrexia, anaemia, anorexia, depression and death. Clinical signswere dose-related and doses of 6 × 105 or more sporocysts were fatal. Muscle invasion took place before 34 days. At 129 days, sarcocysts were infective for dogs and the life cycle was completed. Sporocysts of this dog:goat species were not infective for sheep.Keywords
