Frequency of Sarcocystis in pigs in Ohio and attempted transmission to cats and dogs. 1979

J P Dubey

Tissues of 236 sows, obtained at slaughter in Xenia, Ohio, were examined microscopically after trypsin digestion. Sarcocystis bradyzoites were found in eight of 236 (3.4%) pigs (in 8 diaphragms, 7 esophagi, and 1 heart) and in three of 101 tongues. After these infected porcine tissues were fed to three dogs and three cats, none of the animals shed Sarcocystis sporocysts in their feces.
