Reliability of three common fecal egg counting techniques for detecting strongylid and ascarid infections in horses
Original language description
The detection and quantification of nematode eggs using fecal egg count techniques have an irreplaceable role in equine parasitic control. The aim of this study was to compare three fecal egg count techniques used for the detection of the two most common equine nematode infections: strongylid and ascarid. The Simple McMaster, Concentration McMaster and Mini-FLOTAC techniques were tested on spiked fecal samples with various levels of egg concentration (50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 3000 eggs per gram) and naturally infected mixed strongylid-ascarid samples with 30 replicates. The Simple McMaster, Concentration McMaster and Mini- FLOTAC techniques had precision coefficients of variation of 44,33, 35,64 and 18,25% for the strongylid infection and 62,95, 35,71 and 18,95% for the ascarid infection, and percent accuracies (mean count/number of eggs spiked) of 97,53, 88,39 and 74,18% for the strongylid infection and 65,53, 83,18 and 90,28% for the ascarid infection, respectively. Accuracy depended greatly on
