Transmission electron microscopy was used to the cysts and their walls of Sarcocystis arieticanis within cardiac muscle of naturally infected sheep. The general ultrastructural features of the cysts, previously described by other authors, were confirmed. The cyst walls of S. arieticanis and the size and shape of the protrusions at different locations on the cyst wall were explained in detail. The cysts were 35-62.5 micro m x 52.5-162.5 micro m in size and the cyst wall had different-shaped protrusions. Aged cysts that were localized in the heart and differences in the morphology of their protrusions were noticed.

D006321 Heart The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood. Hearts
D006790 Host-Parasite Interactions The relationship between an invertebrate and another organism (the host), one of which lives at the expense of the other. Traditionally excluded from definition of parasites are pathogenic BACTERIA; FUNGI; VIRUSES; and PLANTS; though they may live parasitically.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012522 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. Sarcosporidia,Sarcocysti,Sarcosporidias
D012523 Sarcocystosis Infection of the striated muscle of mammals by parasites of the genus SARCOCYSTIS. Disease symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness, and paralysis are produced by sarcocystin, a toxin produced by the organism. Sarcosporidiosis,Sarcocystoses,Sarcosporidioses
D012756 Sheep Any of the ruminant mammals with curved horns in the genus Ovis, family Bovidae. They possess lachrymal grooves and interdigital glands, which are absent in GOATS. Ovis,Sheep, Dall,Dall Sheep,Ovis dalli
D012757 Sheep Diseases Diseases of domestic and mountain sheep of the genus Ovis. Ovine Diseases,Disease, Ovine,Disease, Sheep,Diseases, Ovine,Diseases, Sheep,Ovine Disease,Sheep Disease
