Epidemiology and diagnosis of sarcocystosis.
The studies included a total of 788 swine, of which 395 animals were raised on state farms and 393 on privately owned farms. Using artificial digestion (by trypsin) of diaphragm muscles, cystozoites were detected in 193 swine; 24.49% out of 788 animals examined. Among the 395 swine raised on state farms, the presence of cystozoites was demonstrated in 63 (15.95%) of the animals, while in 393 swine from privately-owned farms, cystozoites were found in 130 (33.07%) of those examined. By histological methods cystozoites were detected in 43 swine (18.14%) of the tested animals.
