Morphologic and genetic identification of sarcocystis fulicae n. Sp. (apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae) from the eurasian coot (fulica atra)
One morphologic type of sarcocyst was found in 26% (7/27) of Eurasian Coots (Fulica atra) and was described as Sarcocystis fulicae n. sp. using morphologic, 18S ribosomal (r)DNA, 28S rDNA, and internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) analysis. By light microscope, cysts were ribbon-shaped and measured 7...
