Sarcocystis Suihominis

Sarcosporidosis (Sarcosporidiosi)

Sarcosporidosis is a disease caused by parasitism of specific cells in the cells of eukaryotic organisms. Sarcosporidia causes disease in animals and humans.

Mitosporum intestinalis is also known as Sarcocystosis suihominum / Sarcocystidium suihominissi or Cystoisospora belli. It is a parasite for cats and dogs, but can be transmitted to humans through flea bites. The name "suihominis" comes from the Italian word for "pig" because the pathogen passes through pigs before it infects humans. Sarcosporidium is usually found in the intestines of infected animals, where they develop and multiply.

Human infection with Sarcospiridium intestinalis results from the ingestion of parasite eggs that enter the intestines from the meat and milk of infected animals. They can be spread by the digestive system of animals through digestive juices or other fluids.



Sarcocystis suihrminis (Sucio rhina minis) is a parasitic organism that causes intestinal sarcosporidosis in humans. Intestinal sarcosepiasis is a disease caused by infections transmitted through animal intermediate hosts and the spread of which is controlled by animal diseases (AVD).
