Excited to share another AI parasitology study by my former coworkers at ARUP and I. Post implementation of AI for O&Ps. Increased diagnostic yield 🪱🦠 and workflow efficiency 🙌🏼🔥! These are truly exciting times for parasitology benches and labs. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128… – at Scarborough, ME

Excited to present with this star-studded line-up of parasitology experts at ASM Health Meeting. There is still time to register. Come on...everyone needs a full day reboot of their parasitology knowledge and best practices. Come join the cool kids in parasitic perfection! – at Maine, USA

This was amazing work by an amazing team! Happy to see it rolling out and changing the game! – at Scarborough, ME

A prime welcome back to the northeast. This poor patient had a rip-roaring case of anaplasmosis diagnosed initially by blood smear and confirmed by PCR. The ticks are bad this year!!! (Removed these from my clothes with packing tape after a casual walk in the woods!) – at Scarborough, ME

Happy Medical Laboratory Professionals Week 2025 to all my amazing lab folks! Keep doing the amazing "dirty" work that nobody else sees. 🧪🧫🧬💩 🤜🔬🤛 @NorDxLab – at Maine, USA

This was a very fun experience to present 5 years of work in just a few minutes. But the audience was great and the discussions with colleagues afterwards was very enriching. The AI movement is huge in microbiology. The more work and the more experiences, the better it will be! – at Vienna, Austria

Really enjoying catching up with colleagues and learning new disciplines such as ASP, IP, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Never too old to learn new tricks 😀 Vienna is a wonderful host. If you are here at ESCMID 2025, please come say hi. – at Vienna, Austria

This was a fun. The worm was barely recognizable as a worm. It vaguely looked like a proglottid, but the specimen was badly degraded. Clearing the tissue with some lactophenol exposed the genus-level ID. Taenia eggs in utero. Hooklets visible even! #Parasitology @ParasiteGal

When is Strongy, too much Strongy? Well, anytime... But especially...when moms look like they are taking their kids out to the park to play!? Three adult female Strongy and numerous L1 larvae. So much Strongy! #parasitology @ARUPLabs

journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128… Super excited for this new work our team published (Dr. Angela Ma now at Public Health Ontario & Blaine Mathison at ARUP!). UV autofluorescence microscopy is a great tool that I share pictures of here often 💡🔬🪩 #parasitology @ParasiteGal @ARUPLabs

Just another stool, another Strongyloides L1 larvae. 🪱 #parasitology @ARUPLabs @ParasiteGal

Friday, Funday. This is what we consider...a whole lot of Dientamoeba fragilis! Mostly binucleate forms with variably fragmented karyosomes. #parasitology @ARUPLabs @ParasiteGal

I was just inspired to get off my butt and share some more images on here by a colleague at ACLPS 2024 😉 UV image of Paracapillaria in a stool specimen. #parasitology @ParasiteGal @ARUPLabs

This was a fun case. Beautiful little (lesser known) critter! "Sounds" like a pain though... 😆🤣 Photo Quiz: An ear-resistible occupant in a 73-year-old patient | Journal of Clinical Microbiology journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128… #parasitology @ParasiteGal @ARUPLabs @JClinMicro

This is amazing and cool to see. Admittedly, I have not seen this often at all. Continued development of embryos in Ascaris eggs...in fixative! Talk about resilient 🪱! #parasitology @ParasiteGal @ARUPLabs

I love Balantioides coli. 🦠 Such a fun organism...but, be careful with iodine and 40X objectives though...easy to overlook. 10X objective screening is critical for this organism. See the difference? Look at those cute little cilia! #parasitology @ARUPLabs @ParasiteGal
