VMX 2023 Presentation: Parasight System Validation
Learn about Parasight’s in depth validation from parasitologist Jennifer Cain. This presentation was acknowledged as one of the best uses of AI technology in the companion animal field during the North American Veterinary Meeting and Exposition in Orlando, Florida, January 2023.
Comprehensive discussion of fecal egg counts and AI technology. Addresses global drug resistance affecting almost all available anthelmintics, breakthroughs in AI parasite detection, and practical clinical advantages of using AI driven fecal egg count technology.

Paul Slusarewicz, PhD, adjunct professor at the University of Kentucky Gluck Equine Research Center, and cofounder and chief scientific officer at MEP Equine Solutions LLC, is developing a method to rapidly detect and count the number of parasite eggs in feces. Slusarewicz, who began this work as a visiting scholar at UK, has been collaborating with and working in the lab of Martin Nielsen, DVM, PhD, DEVPC, DACVM, assistant professor in the Department of Veterinary Science at the Gluck Center…

The World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology recently released new recommendations for the design of fecal egg count (FEC) reduction tests for livestock. These provide suggestions as to the number of animals to be sampled and the minimum number of eggs that must be counted to produce statistically meaningful results.
Parasight’s All-in-One fecal analyzer was identified as having superior capabilities in detecting parasites in dogs and cats.
