Sarcocystosis in a Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo (Cacatua leadbeateri) Abstract. Sarcocystosis was diagnosed in a female Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo that died unexpectedly. Microscopically, merozoites were observed within pulmonary air capillaries. In addition, parasitic cysts containing metrocytes were observed within the myocardium. This case report describes the gross necropsy findings and histologic lesions associated with fatal sarcocystosis. The life cycle of the parasite is reviewed with attention to methods of disease prevention. http://www.vet.uga.edu/ivcvm/1998/Boyd/boyd.htm
