Abstract
Recent studies by Dubey (1976, 1981 and 1982), Fayer (1976) and Stalhe im et al (1980) established that Sarcocystis causes pyrexia, anaemia, ataxia, abortion, reduced milk production, wool breakage, weight loss, lameness, retarded growth and even death in cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats, both in natural and experimental infection. The pathogenesi s of Sarcocystis is dependent upon the dose, species of parasite, age, nutritional status and susceptibility of the host (Dubey and Fayer, 1 983). The present paper deals with the pathology of Sarcocystis infect ion in cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats, naturally infected with S. cruzi, S. fusiformis, S. ovicanis and S. capracanis respectively.
