Abstract: The genus of sarcocystis parasites have two hosts in their life cycle and are zoonotic. They also have special importance in industrial veterinary. The best way for prevention and control in zoonotic disease is vaccination. This research was planned for sheep sarcocystis antigen isolation by chromatography and a 35 kD antigen was separated by ion exchange chromatography using alkaline (pH=8) CM cellulose resin.
