Parasitology services in Tifton
In parasitology, we test specimens from all animal species (domestic, exotic, laboratory, and wildlife) for diagnostic stages of parasites.
SERVICES
- Fecal exams to determine diagnostic state of endoparasites including fecal flotations and direct smears of any animal species.
- Quantitative tests for livestock including McMasters for equine, bovine, small ruminants, and exotic hoofstock.
- McMaster pre and post-treatment. This can be an integral component of parasite management that can monitor anthelmintic resistance of specific important trichostrongyle parasites of ruminants and horses when performed at pre and post treatment time points.
- Heartworm testing for canine and feline species using Microfilariae detection (Knott) to detect Dirofilaria immitis.
- Parasite identification of internal (worms in general) and external (ticks, lice, fleas, maggots, etc.) parasites of domestic and wild animals
- General assistance and sample processing for research projects that require diagnostic parasitology testing.
