Dear Flowers:
Having recently embarked on some avian coccidiosis vaccine protection trials,
one of the tedious tasks is counting the number of sporulated oocysts for
challenge studies. This would seem to be a task readily amenable to
cytometry. Does anyone have experience with detection of sporulated versus
unsporulated oocysts by flow?
