Abstract

Sarcocystosis is a global parasitic entity with a significant economic impact on meat animals. Additionally, the condition is very zoonotic and affects human well-being. Lately, several species that don’t harbour humans as definitive hosts are now known to affect humans with significant health impacts. The present mini-review comprises zoonotic sarcocystosis along with the miscellaneous species affecting humans. Their pathogenesis, forms, and presentations, along with the control strategies, are also described herewith.

Keywords: Humans; Sarcocystis species; Zoonosis
