Sarcocystis infection in wild ungulates in Lithuania
Prevalence and intensity of Sarcocystis infection in red deer (Cervus elaphus), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), moose (Alces alces), farmed sika deer (Cervus nippon), and wild boar (Sus scrofa) were established. Data on sika deer sarcocystosis are published in Baltic countries for the first time. Sa...
