2.2.1. Alaria alata

Alaria alata eggs were identified in individual faeces samples by sedimentation. Briefly, 4 g faeces were diluted in 36 ml tap water, filtered through gauze, the filtrate distributed into 10 ml tubes and centrifuged at 1000× g for 10 min. The supernatant was removed, flotation fluid added to each tube up to 8 ml and centrifuged at 53× g for 1 min. The supernatant was filtered through a 20 μm sieve and the sieves examined microscopically for A. alata eggs using a Leica DMRB light microscope (Leica Microsystems A/S, Brønshøj, Denmark).
