Objective: Ascaris lumbricoides eggs are naturally available in contaminated soil and embryonated eggs are the source of Ascariasis infection to human. Investigation of in vitro culturing of Ascaris eggs in laboratory in not routinely reported in the literature. Hence, this study was carried out to investigate a simple method on in vitro culturing method for Ascaris lumbricoides eggs isolated from soil samples from an indigenous village in Malaysia.
Results: Four stages of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs from the first-cell stage until the fourth stage were obtained. At the embryonation stage, the larvae of Ascaris worm was observed indicating survival of the eggs under an acidic environment.
