Morphological and Molecular Identification of <i>Sarcocystis arctica</i> in Captive Cheetahs (<i>Acinonyx jubatus</i>) in China Helps Clarify Phylogenetic Relationships with <i>Sarcocystis caninum</i> and <i>Sarcocystis felis</i>

Morphological and Molecular Identification of <i>Sarcocystis arctica</i> in Captive Cheetahs (<i>Acinonyx jubatus</i>) in China Helps Clarify Phylogenetic Relationships with <i>Sarcocystis caninum</i> and <i>Sarcocystis felis</i>

To date, only one case is known where protozoan parasites of the genus <i>Sarcocystis</i> were found to infect cheetahs (<i>Acinonyx jubatus</i>); the cysts in the musculature were morphologically identified as <i>S. felis</i>. Here, we characterized sarcocysts by...
