Harada-Mori Method

Harada Mori is a method for diagnosing helminthiasis that was developed by Japanese scientists in the 1950s. It is based on analyzing the patient's stool for the presence of helminth eggs.

The Harada Mori method includes several steps:

1. Preparing a stool sample. The patient needs to collect stool in a clean container and take it to the laboratory.
2. Sample analysis. The stool sample is placed in a special container that contains a solution containing helminth eggs. The container is then placed in a centrifuge, where the solution and helminth eggs are separated. After this, helminth eggs are examined under a microscope.
3. Interpretation of results. If helminth eggs were found in the sample, this means that the patient is infected with helminthiasis. The number of eggs can also indicate the extent of the infestation.

The Harada Mori method is one of the most common methods for diagnosing helminthiasis in Japan. It is easy to use and allows you to get results quickly. However, this method is not the only way to diagnose helminthiasis and can be supplemented by other methods, such as a blood test for antibodies to helminths or ultrasound of the abdominal cavity.

**Harady - Mori method** Method for microscopic examination of dwarf roundworms (desktop parasites, volvocrines). Determined in pus, scrapings of ulcers, unwashed fecal sediments, sputum, duodenal contents, cerebrospinal fluid, etc., using preliminary preparation of the material. Taxonomist A. S. Komarovsky conducted research into similar phenomena in molluscum contagiosum, which was common in a certain period of development. But these reports are speculation.
