<i>Sarcocystis</i>species in red deer revisited: with a re-description of two known species as<i>Sarcocystis elongata</i>n. sp. and<i>Sarcocystis truncata</i>n. sp. based on mitochondrial<i>cox1</i>sequences

Abstract excerpt

In a previous investigation, five Sarcocystis species were described from Norwegian red deer and believed to be conspecific with species occurring in either reindeer or moose based on sarcocyst morphology and nucleotide sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA unit. The aim of the present study was to characterize numerous isolates of these sarcocyst types at the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene...
