Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl . 2016 May; 5(1):5-16. PMID: 27141438
Tissue-cyst forming coccidia in the family Sarcocystidae are etiologic agents of protozoal encephalitis in marine mammals including the federally listed Southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris). California sea lions (Zalophus californianus),...

Colegrove K, Grigg M, Carlson-Bremer D, Miller R, Gulland F, Ferguson D, et al.
J Parasitol . 2011 Apr; 97(5):868-77. PMID: 21495828
Enteric protozoal infection was identified in 5 stranded California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). Microscopically, the apical cytoplasm of distal jejunal enterocytes contained multiple stages of coccidian parasites, including schizonts with...

Shapiro K, Largier J, Mazet J, Bernt W, Ell J, Melli A, et al.
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2008 Dec; 75(4):1185-91. PMID: 19060174
The physical properties that govern the waterborne transmission of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts from land to sea were evaluated and compared to the properties of carboxylated microspheres, which could serve as...
