Abstract

: Goat sarcocystosis of Dohuk governorate / north of Iraq – Kurdistan region , showed to be occur in percentage of 70 – 93 % for microscopic cysts( microcysts ) of Sarcocystis spp. of goats by several diagnostic techniques ( gross exam , trichinoscopy , squeezing method and post trichinoscopy drop exam ) which are varies in their efficiency depending on organ and the parasitic stage that can be detected by the used technique .Seasonal effect showed to be not effect in the distribution of the infection and that very important in the epidemiology of the disease by depending statistical analysis. In addition, the study confirms the suitability of used techniques, as they are not to be highly expansive which make them reliable for epidemiological study
