Abstract

In this study we analyze 15 samples with Bailenguer method, of which 8 were positive, demonstrating that the method was able to determine the presence of eggs and larvae of parasitic helminths in water. This method has no history of use in Cuba and its introduction is of great importance for the development of this theme for the implications that exist between the eggs of parasitic helminths of medical importance and waste water to public health.
