**4.6 Treatment and control**

There is no effective treatment for sarcocystosis described in the literature (Urquhart et al., 1987; Radostits et al., 2008; Smith and George, 2009). Treatment of infected calves and sheep with salinomycin (4 mg /kg and 1-2 mg /kg BW; respectively) has been recommended. Amprolium 100 mg /kg, for 30 days reduces the severity of infection (Radostits et al., 2008; Smith and George, 2009).

After beginning nervous system symptoms in sheep, Encephalitic Sarcocystosis recovery has not been observed (Ozmen et al., 2009).

Control of disease is based on protection the food supply of ruminants. Feed bunk should be kept clean, also farm dogs and cats that have access to the feed or pastures should not be fed uncooked meat (Urquhart et al., 1987; Smith and George, 2009).
