| Abstract: | Thirty specimens of Echinococcus sp. obtained by anti-helminthic treatment using arecoline hydrobromide from a dog from an Echinococcosis endemic region were fixed in 10% formalin. The material was processed histologically by a rapid manual method and stained using eleven different techniques. Green Trichrome staining as modified in the present study permitted the observation of large structures of Echinococcus sp. tapeworms. |
