Test Details

Testing by CLIA approved lab: LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics

The Ova and Parasite stool test may be ordered when an individual is experiencing symptoms of parasitic infection, such as:

Prolonged abdominal cramping
Prolonged diarrhea
nausea and vomiting
blood or mucus in the stool

It is important to note that one negative result does not rule out the possibility of parasitic infection. Repeat testing may be necessary for the most accurate results.

This test is commonly ordered with the Stool Culture test.

When ordering the Ova and Parasite stool test, it is required to go to the lab to obtain a proper specimen container prior to collection and review collection technique to avoid specimen rejection. Specimens for the parasitic stool examination should be collected before the start of therapies such as antidiarrheal or antiparasitic.

O&P exams may detect trophozoites and/or cysts of important human parasitic pathogens including; Coccidia sp, Entamoeba histolytica, E histolytica/dispar, Giardia sp, Isospora sp, Microsporidia sp, Schistosoma mansoni, and Schistosoma haematobium, as well as non-pathogenic parasites that indicate exposure to unclean environmental sources. This test does not include testing for Cryptosporidium parvum, Cyclospora, or Microsporidia.
