The prevalence of sarcocysts of Sarcocystis capracanis in oesophagus and tail muscles of 76 goats slaughtered at Jabalpur, India, was found to be 67.10 and 46.05%, respectively. A total of 79.3% of oesophagi and 72.4% of tails had sarcocysts in older goats (greater than 1 year), but their prevalence in younger animals (less than 1 year) was 40.0% in oesophagi and none in tails. Therefore examination by biopsy of the tail muscles can be used to monitor the development of Sarcocystis sarcocysts in experimental infection without killing the animal.
在印度贾巴尔普尔屠宰的76只山羊的食管和尾部肌肉中，山羊犬肉孢子虫的肉孢子囊患病率分别为67.10%和46.05%。在年龄较大的山羊（大于1岁）中，共有79.3%的食管和72.4%的尾部有肉孢子囊，但在年龄较小的动物（小于1岁）中，食管中的患病率为40.0%，尾部则没有。因此，通过活检尾部肌肉进行检查可用于监测实验性感染中肉孢子虫肉孢子囊的发育情况，而无需处死动物。
