During 2005-2006, 100 stray cats on St. Kitts were examined using standard parasitological methods. Eggs identified were those of hookworms (88%), Trichuris spp. (71%), Eucoleus aerophillus (16%), Mammomonogamus spp. (45%), Physaloptera spp. (18%), Toxocara spp. (4%), Platynosomum spp. (81%) and taeniids (30%). Coccidian oocysts were found in 12% of the cats and Ctenocephalides felis found on 26%. When the direct fecal smear, benchtop flotation, modified double centrifugation, fecal sedimentation and adhesive tape/scotch tape methods were compared, the modified double centrifugation and benchtop flotation techniques detected most of the positive samples for the widest variety of parasites; 50% (Toxocara spp.) to 100% (hookworms) and 100% (Toxocara spp.) to 96% (hookworms), respectively.
2005 年至 2006 年期间，对圣基茨的 100 只流浪猫进行了检查，使用了标准的寄生虫学方法。鉴定出的虫卵有钩虫（88%）、类圆线虫属（71%）、嗜气毛细线虫（16%）、毛细线虫属（45%）、双腔吸虫属（18%）、弓首蛔虫属（4%）、平角属（81%）和带绦虫（30%）。在 12%的猫中发现了球虫卵囊，在 26%的猫中发现了猫栉首蚤。当比较直接粪便涂片、台式浮选、改良双重离心、粪便沉淀和胶带/透明胶带方法时，改良双重离心和台式浮选技术检测到了大多数阳性样本，这些样本最能检测到各种各样的寄生虫；50%（弓首蛔虫属）到 100%（钩虫）和 100%（弓首蛔虫属）到 96%（钩虫）。
