Efficacy of agar-plate culture in detection of Strongyloides stercoralis infection
J Parasitol.
1990 Jun.
Abstract
Agar-plate culture of feces using a modified petri dish proved to be highly efficient in the detection of Strongyloides stercoralis infection. Furrows left by S. stercoralis on the agar plate were distinguished readily in size from those left by Necator americanus.
