Identification of Sarcocystis Species: The First Study of Its Kind Worldwide

Recently researchers from the laboratory of Molecular ecology published an article in MDPI Biology journal (Microscopic and Molecular Identification of Sarcocystis spp. in Intestines of Canids and Mustelids Associated with Sarcocyst-Forming Species in Rodent Muscles) on the molecular identification of Sarcocysts species using available samples of intestines from different species of Canidae and Mustelidae. To date, no molecular studies worldwide have investigated the presence of Sarcocystis spp. in the intestines of wild carnivores, for which rodents serve as intermediate hosts. This research was funded by the Research Council of Lithuania (grant number S-MIP-23-3).
