Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A method for hatching second-stage larvae of Toxocara canis is described. Whole adult worms are processed by centrifugation in the presence of hypochlorite which allows the grinding step to be eliminated. The technique is more rapid and a high yield is obtained.
