“…Here, a modified MINI-FLOTAC technique in combination with FILL-FLOTAC were used for parasitological detection of the cysts in the faecal samples of fin and sperm whales. Although this technique has never been used before for whale faecal samples, it has successfully been used in previous coprological surveys for the detection of gastrointestinal parasites in other marine animals as the loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta ) 23 , 24 . The MINI-FLOTAC can be considered as one of the most accurate methods for coprological diagnosis of endoparasite infections and cysts/eggs counting nowadays available in veterinary medicine 25 .…”

“…Each faecal sample was subjected to microscopic investigation by using a flotation solution of ZnSO 4 (specific gravity 1360) and a MINI-FLOTAC technique in combination with FILL-FLOTAC slightly modified as reported elsewhere 24 .…”

“…Dolphin fecal samples were collected in the framework of an ecology research project cetaceans; during the winter and summer boat survey, photo identification and floating feces of the individuals were collected, when possible, from free ranging striped (n. 11) and Risso's (n. 7) dolphins using a fine nylon mesh net, which was changed between each sample, avoiding direct contact with animals as also described in Marangi et al 2021. Sea turtle fecal samples were collected from 20 loggerhead and 3 green sea turtles found stranded along the Ionian Sea coast, but still alive or caught by fisherman, in three different sampling zones (1, 2 and 3) within the Gulf of Taranto and kept at two Sea Turtle Rescue Centres (Calimera and Policoro), according to the methodology reported in Marangi et al 2020. Sample ID, collected species, time of sample collecting, cause of finding and sampling zone are reported in Table 1. The survey data collected, including photo identification, guaranteed that the sampled animals were unique and sampled only once during the monitoring.…”

“…El diagnóstico de helmintiasis en tortugas marinas generalmente se realiza durante la necropsia a través de la recolección y el estudio de parásitos adultos (Greiner y Mader 2006, Chapman et al 2019; no es común realizar exámenes coproparasitológicos, aunque es posible y justificado su uso como método no invasivo (Greiner y Mader 2006). Considerando que el principal método para diagnosticar endoparásitos en estos animales es a través del examen fecal para la detección de huevos, Marangi et al (2020) realizaron el primer estudio coprológico multicéntrico de comunidades de helmintos de tortugas marinas (Caretta caretta) de vida libre.…”
