However, the detection of these parasitic elements may be insufficient and quantification of the parasitic burden may be required. As such, faecal egg counts can play a crucial role in providing these extra data. Herewith we describe the McMaster method, one of the most used faecal egg count methods described.engMcMaster methodParasitesDiagnosticjournal article10.12968/vetn.2017.8.8.458
