Sequences of the small subunit rRNA genes were obtained for two coccidians, Sarcocystis dispersa and an unnamed Sarcocystis sp. which parasitise the European barn owl and an African viperid snake as their final host, respectively, and share mouse as their intermediate host. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequence data showed that Sarcocystis sp. from the viperid snake is most closely related to another Sarcocystis sp. isolated from an American crotalid snake, while S. dispersa grouped with other bird-transmitted species. The available dataset failed to resolve the evolutionary relationships among four major branches into which all Sarcocystidae and Isospora spp. were split. However, within these branches, the phylogenetic relationships of the majority of analysed members of the genus Sarcocystis reflected coevolution with their final, rather than intermediate hosts.
