Fecal flotations are still the mainstay of gastrointestinal parasite detection in small animal practice. Simple flotation techniques are popular over centrifugation due to their simplicity and perceived cost benefit. However, studies have shown centrifugation enhances detection of parasite eggs, cysts or oocysts. A recently introduced single-use, disposable device for centrifugal flotation uses a coring tool to obtain the sample, thus minimizing mess while maintaining centrifugation’s benefits. We evaluated this new technique using 55 feline and 70 canine fecal samples in animals from an area of relatively low parasite prevalence.
