Abstract
Light and electron microscope studies on the Sarcocystis of Rattus fuscipes showed that sarcocysts of two types occurred in this rat. These types could be distinguished from each other on the morphology of their cyst walls, on the size and micromorphology of their zoites, as well as by the changes they induced in the host cell. On the basis of these differences, it was concluded that the two sarcocyst types belonged to distinct Sarcocystis species. The possible life histories of the infections occurring in the rats were considered.Keywords
