Fresh preparations of micro-isolated sarcocysts from skeletal and cardiac muscle of 12 reindeer were examined by light microscopy. On the basis of cyst structure and cyst wall structure 4 Sarcocystis spp. could be differentiated. New names have been proposed for 2 previously unnamed Sarcocystis spp. of reindeer, and S. grueneri has been redefined. S. rangiferi n. sp. had macroscopic cysts in skeletal muscle measuring 2106×403 µm. The cyst wall protrusions were finger-like and measured 13.2×6.7 µm. The cysts were surrounded by a layer of fibrillar material. S. tarandi n. sp. had micro- to macroscopic cysts primarily in skeletal muscle, but a few cysts were found in the heart of one animal. In skeletal muscle the cysts measured 999×75µm; in the heart the cysts were shorter and wider. The cyst wall protrusions were fingerlike and measured 9.2×2.2 µm. S. grueneri had micro- to macroscopic cysts in cardiac muscle measuring 581×137 µm. The cyst wall was thin and relatively smooth with no visible protrusions. Sarcocystis sp. had micro- to macroscopic, slender cysts in skeletal muscle measuring 916×64 µm The cyst wall had tightly packed, short, knob-like protrusions. The cysts of this species were previously classified as cysts of S. grueneri.
对12头驯鹿骨骼肌和心肌中的微分离肉孢子虫新鲜制剂进行了光学显微镜检查。根据包囊结构和囊壁结构，可以区分出4种肉孢子虫属物种。已为2种先前未命名的驯鹿肉孢子虫属物种提出了新名称，并对格鲁内肉孢子虫进行了重新定义。驯鹿肉孢子虫新种在骨骼肌中有肉眼可见的包囊，大小为2106×403µm。囊壁突起呈指状，大小为13.2×6.7µm。包囊被一层纤维状物质包围。塔兰迪肉孢子虫新种主要在骨骼肌中有微至肉眼可见的包囊，但在一只动物的心脏中发现了少数包囊。在骨骼肌中，包囊大小为999×75µm；在心脏中，包囊更短更宽。囊壁突起呈指状，大小为9.2×2.2µm。格鲁内肉孢子虫在心肌中有微至肉眼可见的包囊，大小为581×137µm。囊壁薄且相对光滑，无可见突起。肉孢子虫属物种在骨骼肌中有微至肉眼可见的细长包囊，大小为916×64µm。囊壁有紧密排列的短瘤状突起。该物种的包囊以前被归类为格鲁内肉孢子虫的包囊。
