Resumo

The Baermann method is a classical method for isolation of nematode larvae from either biological material or sou. The inclusion of a second gauze filter in the funnel resulted in a cleaner suspension of Angioslrongylus costaricensis fírst stage larvae (Li) from expenmentally infected rodent feces, without retention of LI as compared to the original method, if the preparation is left at rest for 12 hours. The second filter is a 2x2 cm gauze (4 layers) inserted in the opening of the straight portion of the funnel. A cleaner larvae suspension is important as a first step for purification and decontamination of the parasites to be cultivated in vitro.
