Sažetak
Attempts to prove endoparasites in the feces date back to 1681., when A. Van Leeuwenhoeck found a protozoon (probably Giardia sp.) using his own self-constructed microscope. From that time, till now, many methods for proving the parasites in the feces were developed. Some of them were discarded due to non-satisfactory results, while the other were accepted and further modified to improve. Also, some of them were recently developed. Despite the fact that other diagnostic methods exist (e.g. molecular diagnostic), microscopic coprological examination is still main method of diagnostics in parasitological diseases. In order to confirm or exclude a correct diagnosis, the appropriate method/methods must be selected and precisely executed. As a potential result of coprological examination, a discovered parasites and their developmental stages must be morphologically recognized and distinguished from the other structures and ?Pseudoparasites? present in fecal samples. This workshop is a practical guide to the basics of coprological examination i.e. sampling of the feces, amount of the feces to be examined, choosing the appropriate method, executing the method and detection/recognizing the parasites in the sample.
