Table 5 Nucleotide polymorphisms identified in the Sarcocystis neurona merozoite surface antigen 3 (SnSAG3) locus amplified from zoites grown in MA104 cell cultures inoculated with sporulated, excysted oocysts from California sea lion (CSL) fecal samples. Sequences from the CSL-derived zoites are aligned with GenBank sequences of S. neurona isolates from sea otter, opossum and horse tissues.
