AIMS
To assess the results from parasitology laboratories taking part in a quality assessment scheme between 1986 and 1991; and to compare performance with repeat specimens.
METHODS
Quality assessment of blood parasitology, including tissue parasites (n = 444; 358 UK, 86 overseas), and faecal parasitology, including extra-intestinal parasites (n = 205; 141 UK, 64 overseas), was performed.
RESULTS
Overall, the standard of performance was poor. A questionnaire distributed to participants showed that a wide range of methods was used, some of which were considered inadequate to achieve reliable results. Teaching material was distributed to participants from time to time in an attempt to improve standards.
CONCLUSIONS
Since the closure of the IMLS fellowship course in 1972, fewer opportunities for specialised training in parasitology are available: more training is needed. Poor performance in the detection of malarial parasites is mainly attributable to incorrect speciation, misidentification, and lack of equipment such as an eyepiece graticule.
目的
评估参与1986年至1991年质量评估计划的寄生虫学实验室的结果；并将其表现与重复样本进行比较。
方法
对血液寄生虫学（包括组织寄生虫，n = 444；英国358例，海外86例）和粪便寄生虫学（包括肠外寄生虫，n = 205；英国141例，海外64例）进行质量评估。
结果
总体而言，表现标准较差。向参与者发放的问卷显示，使用了多种方法，其中一些方法被认为不足以获得可靠结果。为提高标准，不时向参与者分发教材。
结论
自1972年IMLS奖学金课程结束以来，寄生虫学专业培训的机会减少：需要更多培训。疟原虫检测表现不佳主要归因于物种鉴定错误、误认以及缺乏目镜测微尺等设备。
