The final step in the SDLC, and arguably the most crucial, is the testing, deployment, and maintenance of development environments and applications. DZone's category for these SDLC stages serves as the pinnacle of application planning, design, and coding. The Zones in this category offer ...
For increased sensitivity, concentration techniques can be used. These include centrifugation of the blood sample lyzed in 2% formalin (Knott's technique), or filtration through a Nucleopore-membrane. Serology is not very useful for diagnosis. Because the adult worms live mainly in pleural and ...
