“…This suggests that the glycogen in the sarcoplasm is heavily involved in the nutritional metabolism of the sarcosporidium. We have detected this protozoan in 8 (80.0 ~o) of 10 common squirrel monkeys, while SuzuKI et al (1978) detected it in 7 (18.9 ~o) of 37. As an example in primates, DuBIN and WILcox (1947) reported the occurrence of the parasite in rhesus monkeys among Old World monkeys.…”

ABSTRACT. Abnormally enlarged muscle fiber cells of ring form were incidentally detected in transverse sections of muscles of the common squirrel monkey during microscopic investigation of the composition of muscle fibers. Longitudinal sections showed slender capsule-like cysts in the sarcoplasm. Detailed examination revealed these cysts to be those of Sarcocystis. Among the three types of muscle fiber cells that compose the skeletal muscle, staining with Sudan black B revealed that this parasite selectively infested type II white fibers with a large diameter and a high glycogen content.

“…Examples of parasitism by this protozoan in common squirrel monkeys include 8 found by the author among 10 animals and 7 found by SUZUKI et al (1978) among a total of 37 animals, by histologic examination of the skeletal muscle. The frequency of this parasitism is thus high in New World monkeys.…”
