COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTIC OF MODIFICATIONS OF THE BERMAN METHOD IN DIAGNOSTICS OF STRONGYLIDOIDOSIS IN DOGS
Abstract
The article compares the classical method of Berman and itsmodifications in the diagnosis of strongyloidiasis.
It is established that the method of Berman and its modifications have
high efficiency in the diagnosis of this disease. Modification using a centrifuge
proved to be effective because of better storage capacity. The method of
Berman using analogues of special. utensils can be recommended for the
diagnosis of strictogiloidosis in dogs in the absence of proper equipment.
Keywords: strongyloidiasis of dogs, diagnosis, Berman's method,
modifications, efficacy
