Sarcocystis booliati n.sp. is described from the moonrat Echinosorex gymnurus (Mammalia, Insectivora) from West Malaysia. The cysts are very thin-walled, not visible to the naked eye, and have no trabeculae or cytophaneres. They are found in skeletal but not heart muscle. The zoites are small, 5-8 by 2-3 mum with a mean of 6.5 by 2.2 mum, in dry fixed smears. Octoplasma garnhami n.gen. n.sp., a parasite of undetermined taxonomic status but belonging to the Coccidiasina, Apicomplexa, is also described from the same host. Only schizononts and pseudocysts with typically 8 zoites, have so far been seen in monocytes of the spleen and liver. The zoites are large, 15 by 3 mum and have a distinct nucleolus even in dry-fixed smears.
布氏肉孢子虫新种（Sarcocystis booliati n.sp.）是从西马来西亚的笔尾树鼩（Echinosorex gymnurus，哺乳纲，食虫目）中发现并描述的。这些囊肿壁非常薄，肉眼不可见，且没有小梁或胞质区。它们存在于骨骼肌而非心肌中。在干燥固定涂片上，速殖子较小，大小为5 - 8×2 - 3微米，平均为6.5×2.2微米。八浆体虫新属新种（Octoplasma garnhami n.gen. n.sp.）也从同一宿主中发现并描述，它是一种分类地位未确定但属于顶复门球虫亚纲的寄生虫。到目前为止，仅在脾脏和肝脏的单核细胞中观察到裂殖体和典型含有8个速殖子的假囊肿。速殖子较大，为15×3微米，即使在干燥固定涂片中也有明显的核仁。
