The European badger (Carnivora:Mustelidae) as intermediate host of further three Sarcocystis species (Sporozoa).
Three species of sarcocysts are described by light and electron microscopy from the European badger (Meles meles): Sarcocystis hofmanni n. sp. (a species otherwise occurring in roe deer, Capreolus capreolus), S. sp., cf. sebeki (c species usually parasitizing certain murids); and S. melis n. sp. (c species presumably specific for the badger).
