Summary
The parasitic members of the genus Sarcocystis are coccidia protozoa belonging to the Sarcocystidae family that cause intracellular cysts This family currently contains more than 220 species [1]. These parasites have 2 obligatory hosts in their life cycle, including intermediate and definitive. The parasitic pathogen is mainly caused by intermediate hosts and is mild in the definitive host. Strains of Sarcocystis recognized as infectious agents in domestic poultry around the world but they are usually less pathologically important Cysts caused by this protozoan in intermediate hosts are large (macrocystic) or small (microcystic) depending on the species and definitive host of the parasite. This study for the first time investigates the contamination of Sarcocystis (Microcyst) in native birds of Mazandaran province (Amol city)
