Abstract

Sodium hypochlorite digestion (NaClo) method and enzyme method were compared in the hatching of Taenia solium eggs. Both methods are effective, but the sodium hypochlorite digestion shows higher hatching rate (96.4%) and viability (89.0%) in a shorter reaction time (< 5 min) without needing expensive reagents.
