Cross-sections of a calcified gross cystic lesion and the surrounding skeletal muscle tissue from a condemned pig carcass observed after staining with haematoxylin and eosin solution. Histopathological changes in the muscle tissue are shown. 1 – muscle fibres; 2 – connective tissue fibres forming a capsule around the cyst; 3 – necrotic lesions in the centre of the cyst; 4 – dense lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate; 5 – oedema in the connective tissue of the muscle

Neighbor-Joining phylogenetic tree based on 70 partial sequences from 57 taxa of the cox1 mtDNA gene, including 56 members of the Sarcocystidae family and a Neospora caninum sequence as outgroup. The percentages of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test are shown next to the branches (1,000 replicates), together with the accession numbers of GenBank partial sequences
