    Author: Olias P, Gruber AD, Kohls A, Hafez HM, Heydorn AO, Mehlhorn H, Lierz M.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2010 Mar; 16(3):497-9. PubMed ID: 20202429.
    Abstract:
    A large number of Sarcocystis spp. infect birds as intermediate hosts, but pigeons are rarely affected. We identified a novel Sarcocystis sp. that causes lethal neurologic disease in domestic pigeons in Germany. Experimental infections indicated transmission by northern goshawks, and sequence analyses indicated transnational distribution. Worldwide spread is possible.
