2-3 g of dung sample was taken, mixed with water and then sieved. The mixture was centrifuged at 2000 rpm for about 2 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and a drop of the sediment was placed on a slide with a cover clip on top. It was then examined under foldscope. It was observed that the Amphistome egg is colorless, oval in shape with composite yolk (figure 1)
