Description

With this test you will be tested for the most common parasites that we encounter with our clients. We  make use of PCR testing for some amoebas and microscopic analysis for worms, amoebas and flukes. If you have a worm, fluke or Giardia and treatment is needed with a prescription drug, an appointment with a Dr is included.

This stool analysis evaluates:

  • Armed Tapeworm (Taenia Solium)
  • Whipworm (Trichuriasis)
  • Human roundworm (Ascaris)
  • Pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis)
  • Hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale)
  • Hymenolepis Nana
  • Dipylidium caninum
  • Diphyllobothrium latum
  • Strongyloides stercoralis
  • Taenia Saginata
• Amoebas and Protozoas
  • Giardia lamblia
  • Cryptosporidium spp
  • Blastocystis spp * (PCR)
  • Dientamoeba fragilis * (PCR)
• Flukes
  • Fasciola Hepatica
  • Fasciolopsis Buski

If you want to add a specific PCR test for any of the mentioned worms above or Shistosoma haematobium (or any other specific worms or protozoa), we can do so for an additional cost of GBP 45 – just email us and we will add it on a separate invoice.

* For these protozoans, no Drs appointment is included, but can be arranged for an extra fee.
