Parasitological diagnostics
We offer a wide range of parasitological examinations for livestock and pets, as well as screening of ticks for pathogens. Our diagnostic services include classical copromicroscopical examination methods as well as PCR resepectively DNA analyses.
We are a diagnostic laboratory and do not offer consulting services.
Please contact your veterinarian for questions regarding parasite treatment and prophylaxis.
Copromicroscopic examinations
- Flotation method (detection of gastrointestinal parasites)
- Sedimentation method (detection of liver flukes and other trematodes)
- Baermann funnel method (detection of lungworms)
- Larval culture (identification of gastrointestinal strongylids)
- McMaster method, Mini-Flotac and Flotac (quantitative determination of egg and oocyst counts)
Microscopic identification of parasites
- Endoparasites (worms, cestode proglottids, Leishmania in cytological preparations)
- Ectoparasites (ticks, mites, fleas...)
- Household pests
Blood tests
- Blood smear (microfilariae, protozoa)
Molecular biological methods (PCR respectively DNA analyses)
- Detection of pathogens in ticks (Borrelia, Anaplasma, TBE virus)

- Molecular identification of other endo- and ectoparasites
Further investigations
- Urine analysis for kidney and bladder parasites
- Detection of parasites in organs
