The National Veterinary Research Institute in Poland reports the first molecular detection of Sarcocystis miescheriana in a condemned pig carcass in that country.

The research confirms only the fourth known occurrence of visible cystic lesions caused by sarcocystosis in domestic pigs worldwide.

The source of the infection remains unknown, and the infections are not lethal to the animal, though they can suffer mildly.
