Sarcocystis kirkpatricki n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae) in muscles of raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Illinois

Sarcocysts of Sarcocystis kirkpatricki n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae) are described from the skeletal and heart musculature of 66 (66%) of 100 raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Illinois. Histologic examination of muscle tissues from tongue, diaphragm, esophagus, and heart revealed that 61%, 47%, 32...
