title = "Capillaria ova and diagnosis of trichuris trichiura infection in humans by Kato-Katz Smear, Liberia",
abstract = "We examined human stool samples from Liberia for soil-transmitted helminth ova by Kato-Katz smear and by quantitative PCR. Twenty-five samples were positive for Trichuris trichiura by smear but negative by quantitative PCR. Reexamination of samples showed that they contained Capillaria eggs that resemble T. trichiura in Kato-Katz smears.",
