These recommendations andlessons are indicated by the following: Fecal Float Hints and Tips. Where applicable,I have made mention of important parasite lessons and fecal float interpretation tips that were gained from having performed each of the fecal flotation tests. After all, parasitism in animals always needsto be interpreted cautiously, with complete consideration given to an animal's background history,living circumstances and the presence (or absence) of clinical signs.
Every parasite on this page has been richly presented as a complete case study to give you a complete overview of the signs and symptoms and circumstances surrounding theanimal that underwent the fecal float test. Aside from the great fecal flotation parasite photos presented on this page, I have also includedpictures of adult parasites and post-mortem photos of severely-parasitised animals to help you to betterunderstand and appreciate the significance of parasitic diseases in animals.
