Abstract

In the past ten years over 400 research papers have been written on the subject of Sarcocystis. Most papers have described either the life cycles and routes of transmission from one host animal to another, the clinical signs of disease, or methods of diagnosis. With such information now available practitioners and clinicians have been able to diagnose outbreaks in dairy and beef cattle that heretofore would have been misdiagnosed or would remain undiagnosed. Furthermore, they can explain to the producer how to prevent subsequent losses.
