Sarcocystose of pigs in Omsk region

Chebotareva T. Yu.

Summary

Sarcocystose – protozoan disease common to animals and humans of many kinds of warm-blooded animals, birds, reptiles, and also humans, characterized by formation of cysts in muscles, cardiac muscle and other tissues. As sarcocysts affect muscle tissue, preventing the possibility of invasion of the animals will significantly improve the quality of meat products and reduce costs to receive it. Sarcocysts from pigs are pathogenic for humans, and allocated sporocysts are pathogenic for pigs. Is necessary to consider the possibility of influence specific toxic products of metabolism of sarcocysts – sarcocystine on the human organism. Distribution of sarcocystose among pigs in Omsk region is studied. Disease occurs in all the areas studied by the authors. Extent of infestation of sarcocystose of pigs ranged from 26,3% to 75,0%.

Key words: sarcocystose, protozoa, laboratory, muscles microscopic examination, infection, dissemination.
