The ISU VDL offers parasitology services including routine fecal flotation, quantitative flotation (McMaster’s and Modified Wisconsin), fecal sedimentation, and parasite ID services for ectoparasites.
Telephone consultation with a VDL pathologist prior to submission may be useful to determine which tests to request, particularly if a large number of samples will be submitted or if the diagnostic investigation is complex.
Please call the laboratory (515-294-1950) and talk to one of the diagnostic pathologists at any time if you have questions.
