Abstract: Fifty specimens of Cervus elaphus from 4 geographical regions of Hungary were examined for Sarcocystis infections. The heart muscles of 15(30%) animals were found to be infected with Sarcocystis. The cysts were studied by means of electron microscopy. The discussion of the literature of Sarcocystis of Cervus elaphus led to the conclusion that the three species names, S. grüneri, S. cervicanis and S. wapiti are synonyms and that S. grüneri has priority.
