The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of muscular sarcosporidiosis in pigs using the pepsin digestion technique. A total of 150 fresh heart, oesophagus and thigh muscle samples from 50 Yorkshire and Landrace pigs were collected from two local abattoirs in Perak from May to August 2014. All the fresh muscle samples were thoroughly examined for macrocyst-forming\u00a0Sarcocystis\u00a0spp. and processed using the peptic digestion technique to detect bradyzoites. The results from the muscle samples showed that 58% (29 out of 50) of the pigs were positive for\u00a0Sarcocystis\u00a0spp. These findings highlight the importance of implementing stringent measures for screening pigs in abattoirs for\u00a0Sarcocystis\u00a0spp. infection because this infection in pigs is a public health concern.\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\nSarkosporidiosis adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh parasit protozoa intraselular iaitu\u00a0Sarcocystis\u00a0spp. Pada khinzir, tiga spesis\u00a0Sarcocystis\u00a0spp. telah dikenalpasti antaranya\u00a0Sarcocystis meischeriana,\u00a0Sarcocystis porcifelis\u00a0dan\u00a0Sarcocystis suihominis. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menentukan prevalens sarkosporidiosis otot pada khinzir dengan menggunakan teknik penghadaman peptik. Sebanyak 150 sampel segar otot jantung, esofagus dan paha daripada 50 khinzir jenis Yorkshire dan Landrace telah dikumpulkan dari dua buah tempat sembelihan tempatan di Perak mulai bulan Mei hingga Ogos 2014. Kesemua sampel segar tersebut diperiksa secara kasar untuk mengesan pembentukan-makrosis\u00a0Sarcocystis\u00a0spp. dan seterusnya diproses secara teknik penghadaman peptik bagi mengesan kehadiran bradizoit. Hasil yang diperolehi menunjukkan 58% (29 daripada 50) khinzir adalah positif terhadap\u00a0Sarcocystis\u00a0spp. Penemuan ini menggambarkan kepentingan untuk melaksanakan langkah-langkah yang ketat dalam pemeriksaan khinzir-khinzir di rumah sembelihan terhadap infeksi\u00a0Sarcocystis\u00a0spp. kerana kepentingannya terhadap kesihatan awam.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.21315\/tlsr2017.28.1.12","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,7]],"date-time":"2017-02-07T04:35:33Z","timestamp":1486442133000},"page":"161-166","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Prevalence of Muscular Sarcosporidiosis in Slaughtered Domestic Pigs in Perak, Peninsular Malaysia"],"prefix":"10.21315","volume":"28","author":[{"family":"Fazly Ann Zainalabidin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Muhamad Syamsul Naim Noorazmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Wan Normaziah Wan Omar Bakri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Geethamalar Sathaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Mohd Iswadi Ismail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"8963","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,31]]},"container-title":["Tropical Life Sciences Research"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ejournal.usm.my\/tlsr\/article\/download\/tlsr_vol28-no-1-2017_12\/pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/ejournal.usm.my\/tlsr\/article\/download\/tlsr_vol28-no-1-2017_12\/epub","content-type":"application\/epub+zip","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/ejournal.usm.my\/tlsr\/article\/download\/tlsr_vol28-no-1-2017_12\/pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,6]],"date-time":"2024-03-06T22:01:51Z","timestamp":1709762511000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ejournal.usm.my\/tlsr\/article\/view\/tlsr_vol28-no-1-2017_12"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,31]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,31]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.21315\/tlsr2017.28.1.12","relation":{},"ISSN":["2180-4249","1985-3718"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2180-4249","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1985-3718","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,31]]}}}
