Detection of helminth ova genera using in-situ biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles

In this study, a presumptive colorimetric method was used to detect and differentiate the ova of two major soil transmitted helminths in wastewater, Ascaris and Trichuris. Gold nanoparticles were synthesised following the reduction of tetrachloroauric acid by the surface moiety of Ascaris suum, resu...
