Overview
Parasitology testing identifies parasites in blood, stool, or other body fluids.

Typical Tests

• Malaria parasite microscopy and rapid tests

• Stool parasite exam (ova and cysts)

• Blood tests for filariasis and other tropical infections

Why It Matters
Early detection of parasitic infections prevents chronic illness and stops spread to others.

Preparation Tips

• Provide fresh stool or blood samples as instructed.

• Inform the lab if you have recently taken anti-parasitic medication.
