title: A fixative for intestinal parasites permitting the use of concentration and permanent staining procedures.
abstract: Results obtained with stools preserved in a simple, stable and relatively nontoxic fixative (SAF) composed of sodium acetate, acetic acid and formalin, suggest that this fixative is a suitable alternative to other fixatives for the preservation and recovery of intestinal parasites by diphasic concentration methods and permanent staining.
