[Sarcosporidiosis of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.)].
Examination of 197 specimens of roe deer, of 8 regions of Bohemia, both males and females of various age, revealed sarcosporidiosis in 76% of animals. The incidence of sarcosporidiosis was higher in the regions where the landscape was not much influenced by cultivating. Two types of microscopical sarcocysts, thin-walled and thick-walled ones, were found for the first time in roe deer. The thick-walled cysts were observed in one region only. Then, the sarcosporidiosis in roe deer seems to be caused by two species of coccidia. In almost 14% of positive cases of sarcosporidiosis, a pathological reaction of the infected musculature was observed.
