50 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

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.

Modified Fluke Egg Technique

Add 15 ml detergent solution then mix well with a stirring rod


Add 15 ml detergent solution then mix well with a stirring rod

15 ml

Modified Fluke Egg Technique, add ____ ml detergent solution then mix well with a stirring rod

50 ml centrifuge

In Modified Fluke Egg Technique, strain the mixture through the funnel strainer into a ________ tube

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

2-3 ml

Decant all liquid down to about . Do not disturb the sediment

Iodine

Add 2-3 drops of ______ to the sediment, allowing the sediment to stand for 2-5 minutes

Modified Fluke Egg Technique

Using a pipette, transfer the sediment to a microslide and apply coverglass

LPO

Search the sediment on the slide using the _______ of microscope.

McMaster Egg-Counting Technique

This is placed in a glass jar containing beads or in a mortar of small basin

3 grams

In McMaster Egg-Counting Technique, the sample of feces is well mixed and _____ grams are weighed out.

58 ml

To it is added ______ml of saturated (or half-saturated) salt solution and are vigorously mixed until an even emulsion is obtained.

McMaster Egg-Counting Technique

The suspension may be passed through a fine mesh strainer (coffee strainer) to remove the larger debris if desired.

40% sugar solution


33% saturated zinc sulfate solution

what can be used instead of the saturated salt solution?

wide bore Pasteur pipette

While mixing is in progress a sample is quickly withdrawn with a ________pipette and the material run into the mounting chamber of the McMaster slide.

McMaster Egg-Counting Technique

The slide is then left for 1-2 minutes to allow the eggs to float to the surface of the salt or sugar solution

McMaster Egg-Counting Technique

total number of eggs appearing within the ruled areas of the uppermost slide is counted microscopically.

McMaster Egg-Counting Technique

The eggs rest on the under surface of the upper slide, and with a low-power magnification both the ruled areas and the eggs are in focus.

0.15 cm2

The number of eggs in each cm2represent the eggs in ______ of the emulsion.

Total number of eggs in the one chamber multiplied by 200 or average number of eggs in the 2 chambers multiplied by 200
