Sporocysts were first found in +hcir feces on the 8thor 9th day after feeding. Fifty sporocysts measured 12.8(12.5-13.1)×8.6(8.3-9.4) um in average.Fifty bradyzoites in BBS measured 18.1(15.7-19.7) ×3.9(3.3-4.7)um in average.EM study revealed that the cyst wall of this parasite forms protrusions which have the characteristic 'cauliflower appearance' and contain filament elements.The above study indicates that this parasite should be Sarcocystis fusiformis.Read More
