Abstract

Sarcocysts from the musculature of a dwarf zebu born in a German zoo are described by light and transmission electron microscopy. In addition to the three named bovine Sarcocystis species ( Sarcocystis cruzi, S. hominis, and S. hirsuta) a fourth species was found which was not previously reported from cattle. It mostly resembles Sarcocystis gracilis Rátz, 1909 from roe deer.
