Procedures for the isolation and titration of sarcocystine or parasite toxin of sarcocystis genus

摘要

The present invention provides the technique for isolating the toxin of the Sarcocystis protozoa, which may be later used in the production of specific antibodies against the sarcocystine responsible for the symptoms of sarcocystosis. The technique of the invention consists of separating the blood serum of an infected animal followed by dialysis thereof and finally the sample is dried. The technique is more effective when heart muscle material from an intermediate host with Sarcocystis cysts is used to contaminate a carnivorous mammal final host.
