Abstract:
In the present investigation total number of 639 specimens of cardiovascular system of goats were examined out of which 48 cases were recorded and found the sarcocystosis. Grossly, there no evidence of sarcocysts in heart muscles. Mostly these are small round, oval and elongated shape. The section of 4-6 micron thickness were cut and stained with routine staining methods by hematoxylin and eosin, results were recorded by gross observations and microscopic lesions. In the processing microscopically, multiple of round or oval shape sarcocyts were found between separated myocardium muscles of the heart. In some cases cysts were found ruptured and their bradizoites were scattered in between the myocardial cells and some sections multiple sarcocyst with degenerated cardiac muscles. Another microphotograph showed elongated multiple sarcocyst in cardiac muscles along with haemorrhages.
