A study was conducted to test the infectivity of bradyzoites of a Besnoitia species infecting goats in Kenya to rats, mice, rabbits, sheep and goats. Only goats developed infection resulting in tissue cyst formation. Eighteen cats were tested for their role in transmission of this Besnoitia species. Ten of the cats were fed on goat tissues with numerous Besnoitia cysts; four cats were orally inoculated with bradyzoites and four others fed on mice and rat carcasses previously inoculated with bradyzoites. None of these cats produced Besnoitia oocysts in their faeces for 30 days.
开展了一项研究，以测试感染肯尼亚山羊的贝诺孢子虫缓殖子对大鼠、小鼠、家兔、绵羊和山羊的感染性。只有山羊发生感染并形成组织包囊。对18只猫在该贝诺孢子虫传播中的作用进行了测试。10只猫喂食含有大量贝诺孢子虫包囊的山羊组织；4只猫经口接种缓殖子，另外4只猫喂食先前接种过缓殖子的小鼠和大鼠尸体。在30天内，这些猫的粪便中均未产生贝诺孢子虫卵囊。
