From tapeworm eggs to parasites in blood
The collection presents parasites through whole mounts, cross-sections and blood specimens. The tapeworm slides allow observation of both eggs and a sectioned body segment, while muscle containing Trichinella larvae and rabbit liver with coccidiosis show parasites within affected tissues.
All specimens are already prepared, so there is no need to cut sections or make blood smears. Individual descriptions help identify each slide, and the supplied box keeps the collection organised between observations.
