Amino acids and their metabolites in Sarcocystis fusiformis and S. gigantea cysts

It has been established that cysts S. fusiformis and S. gigantea of parasites isolated from the esophagi of infected buffaloes and sheep have the identical set of free amino acids and their metabolites. These species differ from each other in 7 components of 34 studied that points to their metabolic closeness and to specific differences of sarcocysts from different hosts.
