Two reliable methods are described for identifying infection of laboratory rats with the nematode Trichosomoides crassicauda. The first is a rapid method where cryostat sections of the rat urinary bladder are stained with acridine orange and viewed under a fluorescence microscope. The second involves the stabilization of the bladder surface prior to examination using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
