Ordering info (EPIC SmartText)Ova and Parasite Examination is used to detect gastrointestinal parasites including helminths, cestodes, and protozoa in preserved stool specimens. A complete exam includes microscopic evaluation of both a concentrated iodine-stained wet preparation and a permanent stained (Trichrome) preparation. Optimal sensitivity is obtained by collecting three serial stool specimens over the course of three days.
