Abstract
Pregnant female Rattus norvegicus were infected with Sarcocystis rodentifelis by feeding them portions of laboratory rats heavily laden with sarcocysts. After infecting dams in the first or last weeks of pregnancy, offspring were also found to harbour infections at 51,1 and 90,6 %, respectively. Rats infected with S. rodentifelis are able to transmit this parasite to their offspring.
