Quick answer
The Ova and Parasite test looks for parasite eggs, larvae, or cysts in a urine sample. It is requested when a urinary parasite infection is suspected, often alongside other urine studies and a clinical assessment. Detection depends on the organisms present in the sample, so results are interpreted with the person's symptoms and exposure history.
What this test measures
Parasites can occasionally involve the urinary tract, either as a primary infection or as part of a broader illness. The Ova and Parasite test uses microscopy to look for eggs, larvae, or other parasite structures in urine. Some organisms, such as Schistosoma species, can shed eggs into the urinary tract, which is one reason this test may be ordered.
A urine sample is collected and processed in the laboratory, where a trained technologist examines it under a microscope. The test may be combined with other urine tests such as a urinalysis or a parasite-specific assay. Because shedding can vary over time, a single sample might miss an infection, and repeat collections are sometimes requested.
The test is not a stand-alone diagnosis. A negative result does not fully rule out infection, and a positive result is interpreted with the person's travel, exposure, and symptom history. A qualified healthcare provider decides whether confirmatory testing or further evaluation is appropriate.
