Mange or scrub mites |
_________ may be licked or nibbled from the skin, thus accounting for their appearance in the feces. |
|
status of digestion |
Fecal examination may also reveal the _________ as is shown by the presence of starch, fat droplets, of undigested muscle |
|
pseudoparasites |
Animals may swallow certain objects that resemble parasite forms. |
|
pollen grains plant hairs grain mites mold spores harmless plant & animal debris |
Examples of pseudoparasites |
|
spurious |
parasite eggs or cyst from one species of host may be found in the feces of a scavenger or predator host as the result of coprophagy. |
|
dehydrated |
Old samples may become ________, making suspension difficult |
|
true |
worm ova or coccidial cyst may undergo development, hatching or disintegration to such a degree as to interfere with diagnosis |
|
10% formalin solution |
If fecal material is to be transported for more than a few hours it must be preserved using __________ to saturate the sample. |
|
Refrigeration |
will also keep samples in good condition for several days. |
|
10x |
The fixative/preservative should be _____ the volume of the specimen |
|
Microscopic Examination of Feces |
This may include several techniques such as the Simple Fecal Smear Method Qualitative Concentration Method Quantitative Concentration Method |
|
Simple Fecal Smear Method |
This technique should be used only when very small samples are available or when lack of equipment or time prevents the use of more accurate techniques. |
|
Simple Fecal Smear |
what technique involves placing a drop of tap water on the center of the slide |
|
grain of rice |
In Simple Fecal Smear, with a toothpick, or some similar instrument, detach from the fecal mass a small amount, about the size of a ______ |
|
LOW POWER |
magnification in Simple Fecal Smear |
|
sodium chloride sucrose glycerine zinc sulfate zinc acetate sodium nitrate sodium acetate magnesium sulfate. |
heavy flotation solutions |
|
Glycerine |
has too high a viscosity, hence flotation is slow. |
|
saline solutions |
low in viscosity but they tend to dehydrate and thus distort parasite forms |
|
saline solutions |
also they crystallize rather quickly on the microslide. |
|
high specific gravity |
Solutions of _____ will float too much debris, thus defeating the purpose for which they are intended. |
|
Sugar Flotation Technique |
In Sugar Flotation Technique, emulsify ________ gram of feces in 3 ml sugar solution in a vial or other suitable container |
|
20 minutes |
In Sugar Flotation Technique, apply coverglass or slide to surface film for __________ |
|
wet side |
Remove coverglass with adherent fluid and place, _______ down, on a slide for examination. If slide is used for surface films, mount with coverglass. |
|
Willi's Brine Flotation Technique |
This method is unsatisfactory for protozoan cysts and trematode ova. |
|
1 gram, 2ml |
In Willi's Brine Flotation Technique, emulsify ________ of feces in _____ ml of brine in a glass cylinder about 2.5 cm in diameter. |
|
steel wool |
In Willi's Brine Flotation Technique, he cylinder may be plugged with a small amount of _______ to hold down the large fecal particles. |
|
meniscus |
Add enough brine to form a _____ at the top of the tube |
|
10-60 minutes |
In Willi's Brine Flotation Technique, place a clean slide on the meniscus and allow it to remain for ________ minutes. Remove the slide, invert and examine. |
|

flooding, swirling |
Pour enough detergent solution in a ______,______ motion through the feces in the funnel strainer to fill the centrifuge tube |
|
5 to 15 minutes |
In Modified Fluke Egg Technique, Allow the mixture to stand for ______ |
|
3/4 |
Decant ____ of the fluid from the centrifuge tube |
|
true |
Rewash the fecal materials in the funnel-strainer to refill the centrifuge tube, in order to obtain any ova trapped previously |
|
