Includes the testing of fecal, blood, tissues and skin specimens to diagnose and taxonomically identify human and animal-borne parasitic organisms and agents of medical and public health importance. These include over 40 species of protozoan (single-celled organisms), cysts and trophozoites, eggs and other stages of metazoans (multiple-celled parasites like roundworms, tapeworms, flukes, and other parasitic organisms) that may be found in biological specimens, e.g., fecal, blood, tissues, and skin. PCI uses state of the art technologies for staining, processing and identifying parasites in fecal samples presented via mailable kits or shipped as whole worms. STF (Streck Tissue Fixative) is utilized for preserving and transporting of collected fecal specimens that are subsequently concentrated, processed and stained in the laboratory.  Optical microscopy is connected with a video camera, monitor and printer for identification and verification. Results for each parasite tested on blood, tissues, fecal, and skin specimens are quantified on a scale of 1 (light infection) to 4 (heavy infection).

Parasitology Center, Inc. is the only facility in the world working with Neuro-cutaneous Syndrome (NCS) which Dr. Amin recently described from patients experiencing dermatological abnormalities (elevated itchy skin sores that may develop into mucoid lesions) and neurological symptoms (movement, pin prick or crawling sensations) caused by toxic dental materials. We provide a comprehensive and definitive diagnosis including blood bio-compatibility testing, among others, and design a management program for  individual patients' rehabilitation. All patients fully complying with our 5-track protocol have invariably recovered. For more information about NCS, see links to relevant articles on our home page.
