Abstract
The protozoan Sarcocystis rangiferi Gjerde, 1984 was found for the fir st time in the skeletal muscle of a reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), born in a German zoological garden. It is characterized by the ultrastruct ural cyst wall type 15 of Dubey et al. (1989). Another, not determinab le Sarcocystis species with parasite-induced encapsulation was found i n the oesophageal musculature of a free ranging roe deer (Capreolus ca preolus) from Germany. Its cyst wall was similar to type 24 of Dubey e t al. (1989).
