In 1954, Kato and Miura were the first tointroduce a new method, the “cellophanethick-smear technique” which involved a principle of direct fecal sampling (Kato and Miura,1954).
It is different from the standard directsmear procedure in that a larger amount offecal sample is employed and cellophanestrips are used as cover slips instead of glass.After further refinement, the Kato thick smeartechnique, was adopted in control programsin Japan (Kato, 1960).
A quantitative study of helminthic infections using the Kato method was initially carried out by Martin and Beaver in 1968 for thedetection of specific helminth eggs.

Advantages &Disadvantages• Advantages • N.B. The ideal time for observing Schistosoma eggs
is 24 hrs after preparation except in bright sunlight , the slide will clear rapidly & can be examined.
• Ascaris & Trichuris eggs are visible at any time & hookworm eggs are visible 30 min after preparation .
• The kato- katz template delivers 41.7 mg of faeces . The number of eggs observed is multiplied by 24 to obtain the number of eggs per gm . of faeces.

Advantages &Disadvantages
• Advantages • The aim of this paper is to show the appearanceof
the helminth eggs when malachite green is replacedwith a stain comprised of nigrosin and eosin yellow informalin.
• Several field studies confirm the simplicity,quality, and cost effectiveness of the proposed modification .
• a visual reference of the results of the methodcan be useful to facilitate the recognition of parasite eggs by microscopists willing to adopt this methodology.

Advantages &Disadvantages
• Disadvantages• Take time (The Kato-Katz methods require
between 1 to 2 hoursbefore the glycerin clears the background of the stoolsmear on the slide for accurate visualization of mosthelminth eggs )
• The major problem of the technique isthat few hours after the preparation of the slidehookworm eggs are difficult to recognize due to overclarification by glycerin .

Procedure

Preparation MaterialUse Glass slides and Coverslips with hole

Transfer a small amount of faeces
![Page 10: In 1954, Kato and Miura were the first tointroduce a new method, the cellophanethick-smear technique which involved a principle of direct fecal sampling](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551a6536550346b52d8b4a7c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Transfer a small amount of faeces onto a piece of paper.
Soak the cellophane strips (25×30 mm) in 50% glycerol malachite green Solution for at least 24 hrs before use.

Press the screen on top of faecal specimen.Using a plastic spatula, scrap across the upper surface of the screen to sieve the faecal sample .

Transfer a small amount of the sieved faecal material into the hole of the template & carefully fill the hole. Level with the applicator stick.

Remove the template carefully so that all the faecal material is left on the slide &none is left sticking to the template.

•Cover the faecal sample on the slide with the glycerol-soaked cellophane strip, wipe off excess glycerol with a small piece of toilet paper.•Invert the microscope slide & press faecal sample against cellophane on a smooth surface to spread sample evenly .
