The aim of this study was to determine the toxic effects of two sizes of Sarcocystis aucheniae macrocystic (> 0.5 mm and 1.3 mm) in rabbits experimentally inoculated through survival time, clinical manifestations and pathological changes. For the study were collected neck macrocystic of alpacas from the slaughterhouse of Huancavelica. The concentrations of antigenic proteins for macrocystic large and small, measured by the Biuret method, were 3.3 and 2.4 mg/mL, respectively. Fifty-two (52) rabbits were used of which 25 were inoculated with large macrocystic extracts, 25 with small macrocystic extracts and 2 animals were used as controls. Each treatment group consisted of 5 sub-groups of 5 rabbits each, which were applied in doses of 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 25 μg of protein per kg of body weight, IM route. The evaluation of survival time was 72 hours, the average time of death occurs at 7 hrs post-inoculation and increased lethality dose is 15 μg for both sizes of microcysts. Frequent clinical manifestations were: hyperthermia, tachypnea, diarrhea, inappetence, incoordination and prostration. The principal lesion at necropsy was congestion of blood vessels in various organs and brain fluid in the abdominal, thoracic and pericardial cavities. We also found degenerative damage in the brain, liver and kidney, and brain edema. No changes were observed in skeletal muscle. The severity of the injury was related to the size of cyst. There were statistical differences in survival time of rabbits, the effect of the dose and size of macrocystic, showing 96% survival for animals inoculated with large macrocystic and 68% for animals inoculated with small macrocystic.
