TLDR
Sarcocysts from a palaearctic moose have been studied for the first time by light and electron microscopy and are assigned to this species of moose because of coincidences in morphology.Abstract:
Sarcocysts from a palaearctic moose have been studied for the first time by light and electron microscopy. Because of coincidences in morphology of the cysts, especially of the cyst wall structure and the cystozoides, with the North American species Sarcocystis alceslatrans DUBEY, 1980, they are assigned to this species.read more

The present state of species-systematics in Sarcocystis Lankester, 1882 (Protista, Sporozoa, Coccidia)
TL;DR: The genus Sarcocystis Lankester, 1882, including the synonymous genus Frenkelia Biocca, 1968, (SarcocyStidae Poche, 1913) is revised on the basis of named species and it is stressed that the ultrastructure of the sarcocyst wall is a reliable character in mature sarcocysts, contrary to misleading interpretations.

Sarcocystis in moose ( Alces alces ): molecular identification and phylogeny of six Sarcocystis species in moose, and a morphological description of three new species
Stina S. Dahlgren,Bjørn Gjerde +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that molecular methods are necessary for unequivocal species identification, as different cervid hosts harbour morphologically indistinguishable sarcocysts, and six Sarcocystis species from moose and species from reindeer and Sika deer.

Morphological and molecular characterization and phylogenetic placement of Sarcocystis capreolicanis and Sarcocystis silva n. sp. from roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ) in Norway
TL;DR: DNA derived from numerous cysts of S. gracilis harboured numerous oocysts, measuring about 20 × 15 μm, in their intestinal mucosa upon euthanasia 14 days post-inoculation, confirming for the first time by molecular methods that foxes are definitive hosts for this species.

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) are definitive hosts of Sarcocystis alces and Sarcocystis hjorti from moose (Alces alces).

TL;DR: It is proved that canids (the red fox and arctic fox) are definitive hosts for S. alces and S. hjorti, as had been inferred from the phylogenetic position of these species.

TL;DR: Fresh (frozen/thawed) muscle samples from four 2–12-year-old roe deer from the Sondrio province in north-eastern Italy were examined under a dissecting microscope, and about 180 sarcocysts were isolated and identified to morphological type in wet mounts by light microscopy (LM).
