- Asymptomatic
The clinical course usually is mild and in many cases asymptomatic, although the severity is correlated with the number of ingested sarcocysts. [profdoc.um.ac.ir]
Sarcocystosis, the host that is responsible for sexual replication of the parasite, is humans The intermediate host, the host that allows facilitated infection of the definitive host, is livestock, most often cattle and swine In most cases, the infection is asymptomatic [dovemed.com]

- Suggestibility
Based on unverifiable evidence, it was suggested that the same parasite infects cattle. In addition, S. sinensis was recently declared as nomen nudum because its naming violated the rules of International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Combined with their morphological structure, these sequence data indicate that the 4 isolates from cattle and water buffalo might be the same species, i.e., S. hominis, suggesting that both cattle and water buffalo may serve as the intermediate hosts [bioone.org]
