Abstract:
Sarcocystis could cause significant economic losses of animal husbandry,and threaten to public health and the quality of food safety.S.tenella,S.arieticanis,S.gigantea and S.medusi formis are four species Sarcocystis in sheep (Ovis aries).While S.capracanis,S.hircicanis and S.moulei are three species of Sarcocystis in goat (Capra hircus).The life cycle,epidemiological,pathogenicity,morphological characteristics and diagnostic methods of sheep and goats were reviewed in this paper.The research of biological characteristics of Sarcocystis provides a powerful basis for diagnosis in sheep and goat in China.
