Description

Sarcocyst in skeletal muscle This high power view shows a cyst in human skeletal muscle. The cyst is packed with Sarcocystis sp. zoites. H&E stain. Sarcocystis sp. are protozoan parasites and can be transmitted from uncooked beef or pork, and also from the faeces of infected animals. The zoites are separated by fibrous septae to form compartments of oval nodules.
