Development of a rapid and cost-effective Allele-Specific PCR assay targeting the 18S rRNA gene for differential detection of Sarcocystis species in Cattle and Water Buffalo, and phylogenetic analysis of macrocyst-forming species in cattle in Iran.

Abstract excerpt

Sarcocystis species are highly prevalent in bovine intermediate hosts, represent an important veterinary and economic concern. The most documented losses are related to condemnation of Sarcocystis infected carcasses because of macroscopic sarcocysts or infection associated BEM (Bovine eosinophilic myositis) lesions. Previous studies have indicated some similarities between Sarcocystis species in cattle and water...
