Resumen:
In sarcocystosis, the endothelium and muscles and other soft tissues are invaded by Apicomplexan protozoans of the genus Sarcocystis. As the name implies, Sarcocystis spp (from Greek sarkos: muscle and kystis: cysts) form cysts in muscles of various intermediate hosts?humans, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, birds, rodents, camelids, wildlife, and reptiles. The cysts vary in size from a few micrometers to several centimeters, depending on the host and species. Most of Sarcocystis spp infections are worldwide distributed.
