Archived, frozen tongues of 56 bobcats (Lynx rufus) from Oklahoma, USA, were tested for parasites. Testing Sarcocystis infections included microscopic examination unstained muscle squashes, histological sections paraffin-embedded tissues, and molecular characterization. By a combination both compression methods histology, sarcocysts found in 28 (50.0%) bobcats. In preparations, the sarcocyst wall appeared thin protrusions not clear. Histologically, tissues degraded and, most tongues, only few found, except bobcat #35. Multilocus genotyping utilizing 18S rRNA, 28S cox1 genes yielded sequences exhibiting 98–100% identity with arctica caninum isolates available NCBI database. Hepatozoon rufi-like meronts two is first report Oklahoma.
