Sarcocystis sp. schizonts were found in the cerebellum of a northern gannet (Morus bassanus), exhibiting neurologic signs, found on the Florida (USA) east coast. Based upon molecular characterization of DNA isolated from the brain of the gannet, this Sarcocystis sp. appeared to be closely related, if not identical, to an unnamed Sarcocystis sp. typified by isolates 1085 and 1086 collected from feces of a Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) on the east coast of Florida. Because the life cycle of this parasite appears to be land based, urban waste discharge to marine/estuarine environments may be a source of infection for marine species.
在一只出现神经症状的北方塘鹅（Morus bassanus）的小脑中发现了肉孢子虫属（Sarcocystis sp.）的裂殖体，该塘鹅在美国佛罗里达州东海岸被发现。基于从塘鹅大脑中分离出的DNA的分子特征，这种肉孢子虫属似乎与一种未命名的肉孢子虫属密切相关，甚至可能相同，该未命名的肉孢子虫属以从佛罗里达州东海岸一只弗吉尼亚负鼠（Didelphis virginiana）粪便中收集的分离株1085和1086为代表。由于这种寄生虫的生命周期似乎以陆地为基础，城市污水排放到海洋/河口环境可能是海洋物种的感染源。
