A novel automated microscopy system for the study of population statistics of parasitic nematode

Abstract

This paper presents a novel automated microscopy system for the analysis of population statistics of parasitic nematode. This system produces a novel and more accurate quantifiable way to determine the effect of anthelmintic drugs/compounds in C. elegans. The aim of this system is to help biomedical researchers improve diagnosis and screen for novel anthelmintics and undertake drug mode of action studies.
