Which McMaster egg counting technique is the most reliable?
Original language description
This study focuses on the comparison of three selected modifications of the McMaster counting technique, namely the McMaster method modified by Wetzel (W) and Zajíček (Z), as well as the concentration McMaster technique according to Roepstorff and Nansen(R&N). To investigate the sensitivity and reliability of these methods, nematode eggs (Teladorsagia circumcincta) were used. We prepared the exact number of eggs which were added to the parasite negative faeces; the faecal sample was then investigated.The highest sensitivity and reliability was obtained using the Roepstorff and Nansen modification. This McMaster modification is able to detect 20 eggs per sample (in 70% of samples). Concentrations of 200 and 500 eggs can be found in almost 100% of samples. Moreover, this method is simple, cheap and fast. For these reasons, we can recommend this method for routine veterinary practice.
