Baermann technique: Procedure step 6 |  |
  |
Purpose |
||
| Check sedimented sample in a petri dish for the presence of larvae. This may be all that is required to diagnose the presence of nematode parasites but often more detailed examination is required. This is because other parasitic or free-living nematode life-cycle
stages may be present if the faecal
sample was not fresh when processed
or if it was collected from the ground. |
