A New Technique for Demonstration of Trichinella Spiralis Larvae in Suspensions of Digested Muscle Tissue

Abstract

Up to now, a sedimentation technique has been used for demonstration of Trichinella spiralis larvae released by artificial digestion (Henriksen 1973, Skovgaard 1975, Thomsen 1976, 1977, and others).
