Metoda Kaledina i Romanienki w badaniach zanieczyszczeń przedmiotów użytkowych jajami pasożytów

Examinations were made of household objects contaminated with eggs of Enterobius vermicularis, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura by using a device, joined to a vacuum cleaner, worked out by Kaledin and Romanienko and modified by the authors. The method by Kaledin and Romanienko has been found to be simple, rapid and effective because in the course of collecting samples, ready microscopic preparations are obtained. The obtained results concerning the degree of contamination of various objects with eggs of parasites are in agreement with the mechanism of transmission of eggs found in the environment and are in accordance with the observations of other authors. It seems that the method of Kaledin and Romanienko may be used in complex parasitic examinations.
