Morphometric characteristics of Sarcocystis spp. cysts from cattle

Abstract

The form of Sarcocystis spp. cysts is studied.; the area occupied with cysts from young cattle depending on localization and intensity of infection is deter- mined. It is established that the form, the size and the area of cysts depend on a functional condition of muscular tissue. Cysts occupy more than 50 % of the area of myocardium, tongue, legs of diaphragm and the longest muscle of a back from calves at strong intensity of infection and 50 % - in masseter and diaphragm legs at average intensity of infection
