2 Weigh 4 grams of feces off.
3 Add 26 ml flotation salt solution and mix well.
4 Filter the liquid with a tea strainer.
5 Take 2 ml from the top of the liquid with a syringe.
6 Fill both sides of the McMaster counting chamber and place the counting chamber under a microscope.
7 Count the worm eggs in the two grids of the McMaster counting chamber.
8 Multiply the number of eggs found with 25 for the number of Eggs Per Gram (EPG).<\/p>\n
