Abstract: Sarcocystis tissue cysts from the Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) were studied by light and electron microscopy. Seven out of eight roe deer were infected (85%). Cysts were macroscopically visible measuring 1-4 mm in length and 0.1-0.5 mm in width. They contained typical Sarcocystis merozoites 10.8 μm in length and 2.4 μm in width. The taxonomic relation of Sarcocystis sibirica (Matchulski, 1947) to Sarcocystis species of the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is discussed.
Keywords: taxonomy, Sarcocystis sibirica, merozoites, fine structure, Siberian roe deer
