Though pinworm infestation remains common in laboratory rodent colonies, there is little information regarding current practices for pinworm detection and their relative efficacy. The authors surveyed research institutions to find out the prevalence of pinworm infestations and the detection methods they used. They also tested mice and rats from colonies that were known to be infested with Syphacia sp. and compared the following detection methods: perianal tape test, fecal flotation, fecal concentration, cecal content examination, cecal flotation and histological examination. Though the different methods yielded comparable efficacy overall, the authors recommend using more than one type of test to increase detection potential.
尽管蛲虫感染在实验室啮齿动物群体中仍然很常见，但关于当前蛲虫检测方法及其相对有效性的信息却很少。作者对研究机构进行了调查，以了解蛲虫感染的流行情况以及他们使用的检测方法。他们还对已知感染了管形线虫属的群体中的小鼠和大鼠进行了检测，并比较了以下检测方法：肛周胶带试验、粪便漂浮法、粪便浓缩法、盲肠内容物检查、盲肠漂浮法和组织学检查。尽管不同方法总体上产生了相当的效果，但作者建议使用不止一种检测方法来提高检测潜力。
