Tissue samples comprising the oesophagus and diaphragm were collected from 400 sheep and 400 goats slaughtered at the abattoirs in the study area. Out of this number, 36 were positive for Sarcocystis cysts (sarcocysts) in sheep and 56 in goats. The sarcocysts in sheep measured 35.7 to 500 microns lengthwise and the cyst-wall 2.4 microns. They were identified to be Sarcocystis tenella. The cysts in goats measured 98 to 700 microns and the cyst-wall 2.7 microns. They were identified to be Sarcocystis capracanis. In both animals species, the sarcocysts were more frequent in the oesophagus than in the diaphragm. All sarcocysts seen were microscopic.
从研究区域屠宰场宰杀的400只绵羊和400只山羊身上采集了包含食管和横膈膜的组织样本。其中，绵羊中有36只的样本检测出肉孢子虫囊肿（肉孢子囊）呈阳性，山羊中有56只呈阳性。绵羊的肉孢子囊长度为35.7至500微米，囊壁为2.4微米。它们被鉴定为柔嫩肉孢子虫。山羊的囊肿长度为98至700微米，囊壁为2.7微米。它们被鉴定为山羊肉孢子虫。在这两种动物中，食管中的肉孢子囊比横膈膜中的更为常见。所有观察到的肉孢子囊均为显微镜下可见的。
