A COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF METHODS FOR THE DISCOVERY OF HELMINTH EGGS AND COCCIDIA OOCYSTS IN SOIL SAMPLES

Abstract

A comparative investigation of two methods of soil study was performed - a modified by us and a classic flotation method, using standard media and soil. Different flotation solutions and cultures of eggs of Trichuris vulpis, Toxocara canis and Taenia pisisformis and oocysts of Eimeria stiedai were used. A method for use in diagnostic practice is proposed.
