Waterborne Ectoparasite Examination

Waterborne Ectoparasite Examination

Multiple specimens were cultured from a stagnant pond and neutralized for dissecting microscopy. Two living specimens of Huridinea (Leech), three of Anisoptera (Dragonfly - Larvae), and two yet-to-be-identified specimens (codified as "SpeedDemon" and "DosLegs") were assessed. No parasitism was identified, likely due to the out-of-season collection of specimens.
