In this work, we developed an automated system for the detection and classification of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and Schistosoma (S.) mansoni eggs in microscopic images of fecal smears. We assembled an STH and S. mansoni dataset comprising ove...
Equine strongylids are ubiquitous and can cause severe health issues. Anthelmintic resistance is widely common in cyathostomin parasites, and recent studies have documented increasing incidence of resistance to the macrocyclic lactone drug class. Sev...
BACKGROUND: Current methods for obtaining fecal egg counts in horses are often inaccurate and variable depending on the analyst's skill and experience. Automated digital scanning of fecal sample slides integrated with analysis by an artificial intell...
BACKGROUND: Intestinal parasitic infections are still a serious public health problem in developing countries, and the diagnosis of parasitic infections requires the first step of parasite/egg detection of samples. Automated detection can eliminate t...
BACKGROUND: Conventional microscopy of Kato-Katz (KK1.0) thick smears, the primary method for diagnosing soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, has limited sensitivity and is error-prone. Artificial intelligence-based digital pathology (AI-DP) m...
spp. (root-knot nematodes [RKNs]) are a major threat to a wide range of agricultural crops worldwide. Breeding crops for RKN resistance is an effective management strategy, yet assaying large numbers of breeding lines requires laborious bioassays th...
BACKGROUND: Fecal examinations in pet cats and dogs are key components of routine veterinary practice; however, their accuracy is influenced by diagnostic methodologies and the experience level of personnel performing the tests. The VETSCAN IMAGYST s...
BACKGROUND: Fecal examination is an important component of routine companion animal wellness exams. Sensitivity and specificity of fecal examinations, however, are influenced by sample preparation methodologies and the level of training and experienc...

Children are frequently invited to exercise before micturition, as it is believed that this activity will result in higher egg excretion, and hence, increases sensitivity of microscopic diagnoses. However, the evidence of this recommendation is scan...
