Comparative study of cultivation of feces in vermiculite or charcoal to obtain larvae of Strongyloides venezuelensis
Introduction We compared feces culturing in charcoal or vermiculite to obtain Strongyloides venezuelensis larvae. Methods Feces (5g) from infected rats was mixed with vermiculite (10g) or coal (10g) in plastic cups and incubated at 28°C for 48h. Larvae were recovered using Baermann-Moraes method. Re...
