Abstract

Wild and feral animals in New Zealand were examined by a muscle-digest technique, and histology. Sarcocystis spp. were found in red deer, feral goats, feral pigs, rats, mice, and rabbits, and the prevalence of infection recorded. No Sarcocystis spp. were found in 8 wallabies and 62 possums. Sarcocystis spp. in rats and rabbits were transmitted to cats, and a species in goats to dogs.
