Title: <i>Sarcocystis peromysci</i> n. sp. and <i>S</i>. <i>idahoensis</i> in deer mouse (<i>Peromyscus maniculatus</i>) in Montana
Abstract: Two structurally distinct sarcocysts with thin and thick walls were found in 25 of 98 deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) in Montana. Thin-walled S. idahoensis sarcocysts were seen in 11 mice. Thick-walled sarcocysts were seen in 13 mice. A new name, S. peromysci, is proposed for the thick-walled sarcocysts. Sarcocystis peromysci sarcocysts were up to 1875 × 81 μm and contained 11.2 × 3.1 μm bradyzoites with prominent granules. The sarcocyst wall was 2–5.5 μm thick and had hairlike protrusions on its wall.
