The prevalence of Sarcocystis (Protozoa: Sarcocystidae) in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from northeastern Minnesota was determined by histologic examination of tongue samples. Seventy-nine of 100 deer were infected; infection was higher in yearlings and adults than in fawns. Sporocysts of Sarcocystis were found in 3% of 72 wolf (Canis lupus) scats. Three of four captive wolves fed muscle from a white-tailed deer naturally infected with Sarcocystis shed sporocysts 12-14 days later.
通过对明尼苏达州东北部白尾鹿（弗吉尼亚鹿）舌头样本进行组织学检查，确定了肉孢子虫（原生动物：肉孢子虫科）在该地区白尾鹿中的感染率。100只鹿中有79只被感染；一岁鹿和成年鹿的感染率高于幼鹿。在72份狼（犬属灰狼）粪便样本中，3%发现了肉孢子虫的孢子囊。四只圈养狼投喂了自然感染肉孢子虫的白尾鹿肌肉后，其中三只在12 - 14天后排出了孢子囊。
