V.A. Salimov, O.A. Salimova, V.I. Abakumov, R.R. Gasanov
The form of Sarcocystis spp. cysts is studied.; the area occupied with cysts from young cattle depending on localization and intensity of infection is determined. It is established that the form, the size and the area of cysts depend on a functional condition of muscular tissue. Cysts occupy more than 50 % of the area of myocardium, tongue, legs of diaphragm and the longest muscle of a back from calves at strong intensity of infection and 50 % – in masseter and diaphragm legs at average intensity of infection.
Keywords: morphology, Sarcocystis spp. localization, cattle.
