First molecular characterisation of <i>Sarcocystis miescheriana</i> in a pig carcass condemned during routine meat inspection in Poland
This study shows that <i>Sarcocystis</i> spp. may be present in swine muscle tissue and cause lesions leading to carcass discard. Further analyses are needed to fully recognise the prevalence and impact of <i>Sarcocystis</i> spp. on animal and human health, especially taking into account the possible presence of the zoonotic <i>S. suihominis</i>.
