[An electron microscopic study of the macro- and microcysts of coccidia in the genus Sarcocystis from buffalo].
Two sarcosporidian species from muscles of the water buffalo examined in Azerbaijan were studied. The one making macrocysts was identified as S. fusiformis, whereas the other producing microcysts appeared to be not S. levinei as it might have been expected. Indeed, the microcysts found in the muscles of the buffalo in the slaughterhouse [correction of slaughtery] of Baku differed essentially in morphology of the cyst wall from that of S. levinei, sooner resembling that of S. cruzi from cattle. The cyst wall of these microcysts was seen to make deep invaginations towards the ground substance of cysts. From these invaginations some curved channels were grown outlined with a filamentous material. The described pattern of cyst wall is not characteristic of the S. cruzi sarcocyst. No specification was achieved, and the sarcocysts found in the bubaline muscles are designated as Sarcocystis sp. from the buffalo.
