The first two out of an experimental group of 17 sheep assigned for orthopaedic surgery died during inhalation anaesthesia with halothane-nitrous oxide-oxygen before the arthrotomy of the knee joint could start. Further casualties could be prevented by the use of epidural anaesthesia. Each of the 17 sheep underwent a pathologic-anatomical, histological, bacteriological and parasitological examination. It was found that all of them were infected with sarcosporidia-oocysts with myocarditis of different intensity. Possible infections with sarcosporidia-oocysts in animals, which could have had contact to carnivora, and which are taken for therapeutic surgery or for an experiment should be taken into consideration, because the lesion in the heart due to sarcosporidia-oocysts can be the cause of sudden death.
在分配用于骨科手术的17只绵羊的实验组中，前两只在膝关节切开术开始前，于氟烷-氧化亚氮-氧气吸入麻醉期间死亡。使用硬膜外麻醉可防止进一步的伤亡。这17只绵羊每只都接受了病理解剖、组织学、细菌学和寄生虫学检查。发现它们全部感染了不同强度心肌炎的肉孢子虫卵囊。对于可能接触过食肉动物、被用于治疗性手术或实验的动物，应考虑其可能感染肉孢子虫卵囊，因为肉孢子虫卵囊引起的心脏病变可能是猝死的原因。
