From the literature, we have hypothesized that helminth parasite could be present in the soil. In this regard the guidance of learned community of Parasitologists is saught.
Dr. Ahmad,
I am not a parasitologist but having worked with nematodes including their eggs and cysts, we used an elutriator which separates these structures from soils using a washing-sieving method. You might consult the following for the method to determine if this might be adapted for your particular needs:
