Resumo (EN)

Objective – Evaluate sensitivity and compare the techniques of parasitology, Willis-Mollay, Hoffman, Pons & Janer (HPJ) and Faust in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal helminths and protozoa frequently used in veterinary medical laboratory clinical routine. Methods – 80% of the 100 samples analyzed were positive. However, no single coproparasitological method was able to diagnose, with 100% accuracy, all species of intestinal helminths present in the studied locations. Results – There were 80% positivem samples identified, of the 100 analyzed, therefore, for the diagnosis of intestinal helminths, there were no standard coproparasitological methods that identified with 100% effectiveness all species found in these locations. Conclusion – However, among the techniques evaluated, the spontaneous sedimentation method (Hoffman, Pons and Janer) showed the greatest sensitivity.
