SPECIMEN COLLECTION: Intestinal Tract

Do you have to collect the stool specimen any differently if you are looking for the coccidia (Cryptosporidium parvum, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Isospora belli)?

Fresh stool or specimens preserved in routine stool fixatives (formalin-based) can be used for diagnostic procedures for the identification of the coccidial oocysts.
