Experimental Transmission of Sarcocystis muris (Apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae) Sporocysts from a Naturally Infected Cat (Felis catus) to Immunocompetent and Immunocompromised Mice

Cats serve as definitive hosts for zoonotic Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan that threatens human reproductive health, but they also excrete sporocysts of related protozoan that pose no known human health risk. Here we provide the first definitive evidence for natural infection with the enzootic paras...
