This is the first report of a disseminated protozoal infection in a wild feathertail glider (Acrobates pygmaeus) from south-eastern Australia. The glider was found dead in poor body condition. Histologically, large numbers of zoites were seen predominantly in macrophages in the liver, spleen and lung, with protozoal cysts present in the liver. Molecular and phylogenetic analyses inferred that the protozoan parasite belongs to the family Sarcocystidae and is closely related to previously identified apicomplexans found in yellow-bellied gliders (Petaurus australis) in Australia and southern mouse opossums (Thylamys elegans) in Chile.

在澳大利亚的野生羽毛尾滑翔机（Acrobates pygmaeus）中传播了原生动物感染。
这是来自澳大利亚东南部的野生羽毛尾滑翔机（Acrobates pygmaeus）中传播的原生动物感染的首次报道。发现滑翔机死于身体状况不佳。从组织学上看，在肝脏，脾脏和肺部的巨噬细胞中主要见到大量的沸石，肝脏中存在原生动物的囊肿。分子和系统发育分析推断，原生动物寄生虫属于石藻科，与先前在澳大利亚的黄腹滑翔机（Petrarus australis）和智利南部的鼠负鼠（Thylamys elegans）中发现的apicomplexans密切相关。
