Simultaneous Detection of <i>Sarcocystis hominis</i>, <i>S. heydorni</i>, and <i>S. sigmoideus</i> in Human Intestinal Sarcocystosis, France, 2021–2024
To elucidate the epidemiology of Sarcocystis spp. parasites in human intestinal infections, we used high-throughput sequencing to investigate human intestinal sarcocystosis cases identified by microscopy in France during 2021-2024. Our results indicate that humans are a definitive host of S. sigmoideus parasites and that occurrence of multiple species in 1 patient is common.
