Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Wild boars (Sus scrofa) play a pivotal role in the sylvatic cycle of tissue cyst-forming apicomplexan parasites. However, molecular epidemiological data from Turkish populations is limited. The objective of this study was to ascertain the molecular prevalence, genetic diversity, and co-infection patterns of Sarcocystis spp., Toxoplasma gondii, and Neospora caninum in wild boars from the Central Black Sea...
