title: [Sarcosporidias of cloven-hoofed wild animals. Sarcosporidias in wild deer].
abstract: 500 adult roes and 100 fawns were examined microscopically for the presence of Sarcocystis gracilis von Ratz, 1901. 95.80 per cent of the roes examined had Sarcosporidias. The parasites were noticed macroscopically in less than a third of them. The abdominal muscles were affected most frequently and most strongly. The leg muscles were affected least of all. Roe bucks were affected to a lesser extent than does. From the third month of life the fawns showed an incidence of parasites which increased with advancing age. During the period of research from May till November hardly any significant difference of parasitical attack occurred in adult roes.
