Table 1 Impact of liver blending time, incubation time of agar-gels, and addition of gentamycin on numbers of A. suum larvae (mean ± D) recovered from liver tissue of pigs. Every hour gels were transferred to new jars and migrated larvae were sedimented 1 h in incubation jars, followed by 1 h sedimentation in conical beakers, n = 4.
