Digital Parasite Identification now available at WADDL

WADDL is excited to announce that we are now offering Digital Parasite Identification. This test was developed to assist veterinary professionals and clients by rapidly (often same day for established clients) identifying external and internal parasites from images submitted online rather than shipping a physical sample.

The Digital Parasitology Test can assist with identification of parasites from the following sources:

  • Ova/Oocysts/Cysts from fecal floats
  • Worms associated with the gastrointestinal tract
  • External parasites such as mites, lice and arthropods

Key benefits:

  • Images reviewed by a trained veterinary laboratory technician
  • Rapid identification
  • An official WADDL diagnostic report

How to order

Digital images can be submitted easily by a computer or your cell phone through our Digital Parasitology Submission Form. See full submission instructions

The price for this service is $20.00

Our team is available to answer any questions or to consult before submission. Contact us at WADDL@vetmed.wsu.edu, call at 509-335-9696.

Thank you for choosing WADDL as your partner in veterinary diagnostics. We’re here to support your clinical decisions with fast, reliable results.

Warm regards,
Dr. Laura Williams, DVM, PhD
