Molecular characterisation of Sarcocystis lutrae n. sp. and Toxoplasma gondii from the musculature of two Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra) in Norway.

Parasitology research - 1 Mar 2015

Gjerde Bjørn, Josefsen Terje D

Abstract excerpt

Sarcocysts were detected in routinely processed histological sections of skeletal muscle, but not cardiac muscle, of two adult male otters (Lutra lutra; Mustelidae) from northern Norway following their post-mortem examination in 1999 and 2000. The sarcocysts were slender, spindle-shaped, up to 970 μm long and 35-70 μm in greatest diameter. The sarcocyst wall was thin (∼ 0.5 μm) and smooth with no visible...
