How effective is the agar plate method for Strongyloides stercoralis?
J Parasitol.
1992 Feb.
Abstract
The sensitivity of the agar plate method for the diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis was studied experimentally. Results demonstrated that this method was sensitive enough to detect S. stercoralis even when only a few worms were present.
