Sarcocystis canis infection was associated with hepatitis in a Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus). Intrahepatocellular protozoal schizonts were among areas of necrosis and inflammation. The parasite was genetically identical to S. canis and is the first report in a Steller sea lion, indicating another intermediate host species for S. canis.
犬肉孢子虫感染与一只北海狗（北海狮）的肝炎有关。肝内的原生动物裂殖体存在于坏死和炎症区域。该寄生虫在基因上与犬肉孢子虫相同，这是在北海狗中的首次报告，表明北海狗是犬肉孢子虫的另一种中间宿主物种。
