Physaloptera rara = Larvated eggs fecal flotation or worms in vomitus. Spirocerca lupi = Eggs in feces in patent infections Ollulanus tricuspis = Baermann technique using vomitus may be useful, but diagnosis can be done by biopsy, endoscopy Strongyloides stercoralis = Worm in direct smear, straight tail
