ABSTRACT
The presentation consists of two main parts which deal on the evaluation of the Merthiolate-Iodine-Formaldehyde-Concentration (MIFC) technique of stool examination and the recommended improved method for schistosome egg counting. It is felt that studies along this line will be a practical value in the assessment of the efficacy of schistosomicidal drugs for so far, no drug against Schistosoma japonicum infection has been found to give a 100% cure rate within a span of six months follow-up. From the point of view of disease transmission, a good quantitative procedure for egg counts is likewise deemed important.(Auth. Abs.)
