【 摘 要 】

The cysts of Sarcocystis grueneri were detected and characterized from the cardiac muscles of the Korean water deer ( Hydropotes inermis argyropus ). Of the 38 heart muscle samples examined by light microscopy, 10 were found infected with the cysts of Sarcocystis sp. The cysts appeared oval to spherical shape and measured 110–380 μm in length and 90–170 μm in width. A phylogenetic tree of the 18S rRNA sequences (1.5 kb) revealed a close relationship of the infected cysts to genus Sarcocystis . The 18S rRNA sequence of the infected cysts showed 100% identity to S. grueneri and 97% to S. capracanis . Here, we first report the S. grueneri infections in the Korean water deer.
