Sporocysts of Sarcocystis gigantea in cat faeces were placed in vented polystyrene tubes and superficially buried in both open and shaded sites. Their survival, as measured by their ability to excyst in vitro, was then monitored during the course of two separate experiments extending over 12-month periods. The results showed that the viability of these sporocysts declined most rapidly over the summer months and suggested that they were unlikely to remain infective for more than 1 year.
将猫粪便中巨型肉孢子虫的孢子囊置于有通风孔的聚苯乙烯管中，并分别浅埋于开阔地和阴凉处。然后，在两个为期12个月的独立实验过程中，通过体外脱囊能力来监测它们的存活情况。结果表明，这些孢子囊的活力在夏季下降最快，这表明它们不太可能在1年以上仍具有感染性。
