| الوصف: | Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis) is a soil-borne helminth but its prevalence in water samples is underestimated. The aim of the present study is to propose non-nutrient agar (NNA) as a novel culture method in the diagnosis of Strongyloides and to detect the prevalence rate of S. stercoralis larvae in tap water samples in Beni-Suef Governorate, Egypt. Eighty tap water samples were collected from Beni-Suef Governorate and each sample was filtered in three steps using three filters: one filter for microscopic examination of wet mount, while the remaining two filters were cultured on both NNA and nutrient agar plate (APC). S. stercoralis larvae, adults, and eggs were detected in two (2.5%) and four (5%) out of 80 samples after examination of wet mount preparation and cultures on both NNA and APC, respectively. NNA succeeded to maintain Strongyloides alive for up to 1 month. Our study is the first to detect Strongyloides larvae in tap water in Egypt and the first to use NNA as a novel culture media for Strongyloides. |
