title: [Zoonotic sarcocystosis: from sarcocystic coccidiosis to sarcocystic eosinophilic myositis].
abstract: This first deals with the taxinomy and general features of the genus Sarcocystis, which leads to the classification of sarcocystoses and their general epidemiology. Enteral forms of the sarcocystoses, i.e. sarcocystic coccidioses are conjured up and their zoonotic aetiology and their differences with other human coccidioses are emphasized. The main part of the paper is devoted to exenteral sarcocystoses, that can include two forms: acute, seldom recognized, and chronic, including eosinophilic myosites. The author discusses the nature of the parasites involved and the aetiology and epidemiology of the disease.
