Abstract: Eleven goats given dog-derived Sarcocystis sporocysts, showed illness from day 18. Doses of 5 x 10⁶ sporocysts caused a progressive temperature rise, with peaks at 6, 11 and 18 days. Necropsy at 18 and 19 days revealed multiple petechiation and schizogony in endothelial cells. In goats given smaller doses, Hb, PCV and TP levels fell from day 17. IFAT titres rose from day 28.
