Abstract

Sarcocystosis in water buffalo is caused by eating of contaminated vegetables or water with sporocysts of Sarcocystis spp. it's  forming two types of sarcocysts are macrocysts or microcysts in their muscles  , The aim of current study is to detect  effect of macrocysts on the muscular tissue of infected water buffaloes . Histological examination carried out on infected oesophageal muscle of  five , more than four years water buffaloes. The histological examination was showed presence of inflammation , hypertrophy and necrosis in the affected muscle tissue , addition to loss of the nuclei in the muscle cells that containing the macrocysts of sarcocystis spp. This is the first study for Histological effect of macroscopic Sarcocystis spp. infecting muscles of  Iraqi water buffaloes .
