Parasitological Examination
Parasitological examination is a systematic laboratory diagnostic process for detecting and identifying parasites and parasitic infections in animals. Foundational to veterinary medicine since the 1800s and formalized through modern standard operating procedures, it relies on morphological identification of eggs, larvae, oocysts, or adult parasites in feces, blood, tissue, or other body specimens to establish parasitic diagnoses and guide therapeutic and preventive decisions.
