Improvement of the Merthiolate-Iodine-Formalin (MIF) Fecal Technique for Hookworm, Trichuris trichiura, and Ascaris lumbricoides Eggs

The merthiolate-iodine-formalin (MIF) technique to detect human intestinal parasites in feces was inefficient for the detection of hookworm and Trichuris trichiura eggs.
