title: Histological preparation of the Echinococcus sp. tapeworms: staining affinity of the adult form.
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.
