Systematic Parasitology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A list is given of the present 93 species of the apicomplexan protozoan genus Sarcocystis together with their definitive and intermediate hosts (if known), synonyms, homonyms, lapsi calami, etc. The names of many species of this genus are poorly known, in doubt or controversial due to lack of access to some of the literature and to failure to accept the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

The following taxonomic innovations are introduced: New species—S. nontenella for S. tenella Eble, 1961 [non] S. tenella (Railliet, 1886) from the buzzard Buteo buteo; S. scotti for Sarcocystis sp. from the housemouse completing its sexual development in the tawny owl, Strix aluco (see Tadros & Laarman, 1980); New combinations—S. ctenosauris for Cryptosporidium ctenosauris Duszynski, 1969 from the lizard Ctenosaura similis; S. lampropeltis for Cryptosporodium lampropeltis Anderson, Duszynski & Marquardt, 1968 from the king snake Lampropeltis c. calligaster; S. roudabushi for Isospora roudabushi Pellérdy, 1974 from the gopher snake Pituophis s. sayi; and S. tropicalis for Isospora tropicalis Mukherjea & Krassner, 1965 from the golden jackal Canis aureus.
