Abstract
Sporocysts of Sarcocystis spp were found in the faeces of 39.3 per cent and 25 per cent of farm dogs and foxes respectively. The indirect haemagglutination serodiagnostic test suggested that nearly all sheep in the area sampled became infected early in life and diagnosis of infection by this means correlates well with trichinoscopy findings. The sarcocystis antigens used in serodiagnostic tests did not cross react with sera positive for Toxoplasma gondii. Sarcocystis antigens derived from cattle cross reacted with ovine sera but comparative tests showed the titres to be less than where the homologous antigen was used.
