Comparison of OvaCyte™ Speciation and PNA staining for the detection of Haemonchus contortus in ovine faecal samples
These findings validate OvaCyte™ Speciation as a reliable alternative to the peanut agglutinin staining method, particularly in field and clinical settings where rapid turnaround and ease of use are critical. Its application could enhance routine herd surveillance and enable evidence-based parasite control in resource-limited or on-farm environments.
