Dogs fed buffalo heart muscle containing sarcocysts of Sarcosystis levinei and heated at 65-75 degrees C did not shed sporocysts, whereas other dogs fed infected heart muscle heated between 40 and 60 degrees C shed sporocysts. Dogs fed infected heart muscle stored at -4 degrees C for 48 h did not shed sporocysts, but those fed similar infected tissues stored at -2 degrees C for 24 h shed sporocysts. The results indicate that sarcocysts of S. levinei are rendered noninfective by heating to 65 degrees C or by freezing at -4 degrees C.
喂食含有莱氏肉孢子虫包囊的水牛心肌且加热至65 - 75摄氏度的犬只未排出孢子囊，而其他喂食在40至60摄氏度之间加热的感染心肌的犬只排出了孢子囊。喂食在-4摄氏度储存48小时的感染心肌的犬只未排出孢子囊，但喂食在-2摄氏度储存24小时的类似感染组织的犬只排出了孢子囊。结果表明，莱氏肉孢子虫的包囊通过加热至65摄氏度或在-4摄氏度冷冻而失去感染性。
