Dear parasitologyst researchers, In order to research the helminth eggs in treated water. We looking the most species found and the method used in the laboratory to identify them.
The most common nematode found in water is the "Ascaris lumbricoides," which causes intestinal roundworm infections. In vitro investigation methods may involve collecting water samples and using concentration techniques like sedimentation or centrifugation. Microscopic examination of the concentrated material allows for the identification of nematode eggs, particularly Ascaris eggs, based on morphological characteristics. Staining methods, such as the use of iodine, may enhance the visibility of the eggs during microscopic analysis.
