A new method for counting microfilariae in skin snips is described. The method, in which slide specimens are reconstituted after drying, is compared quantitatively with two existing methods that are used when the counting of microfilariae has to be postponed. Counts obtained by the new method were closely correlated with those taken in fresh specimens. Other advantages of the new method are discussed and its use in onchocerciasis field surveys is recommended.
本文描述了一种用于计算皮肤切片中微丝蚴数量的新方法。该方法是在干燥后重新制作玻片标本,并与两种在必须推迟微丝蚴计数时使用的现有方法进行了定量比较。新方法获得的计数结果与新鲜标本中的计数结果密切相关。文中还讨论了新方法的其他优点,并建议将其用于盘尾丝虫病的现场调查。
