Abstract
A new counting method based on demonstrating blood parasites with the fluorescent dye 33258 Hoechst (Bisbenzimide) is described. Glutaraldehyde-fixed blood incubated in dye solution was dispensed as 1 mm3 droplets. Using a direct counting technique, accurate estimates of parasitacmia were obtained with Babesia bovis, B. bigemina, B. rodhaini, Plasmodium berghei, Trypanosoma lewisi and Anaplasma centrale.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
