Infection survey, molecular, pathogenicity, and morphological characteristics of Sarcocystis species naturally infected water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in Egypt
The findings revealed a notably high prevalence of Sarcocystis infection (72.2%) in buffaloes from Egypt, with skeletal muscle identified as the organ most susceptible to the parasite. Two Sarcocystis species were detected: S. fusiformis and S. cruzi.
