Abstract
Sarcocysts from the musculature of a dwarf zebu born in a German zoo a re described by light and transmission electron microscopy. In additio n to the three named bovine Sarcocystis species (Sarcocystis cruzi, S. hominis, and S. hirsuta) a fourth species was found which was not pre viously reported from cattle. It mostly resembles Sarcocystis gracilis Ratz, 1909 from roe deer.
