These four techniques were applied separately to analyze 154 fecal samples, and their accuracy was analyzed based on an evaluation of their sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and Kappa index, resulting in the selection of the Willis technique as the nominal gold standard. Of the 154 samples, 115 (74.68%) tested positive for intestinal parasites. The analysis of the frequency of positivity indicated that the HPLJ technique detected 86.1% of the positive samples and was the closest to the gold standard. The analysis of the accuracy of the techniques was evaluated using the most prevalent parasites. The Sheather technique showed the highest accuracy in the detection of Ancylostomatidae, while the Sheather and HPLJ techniques showed similar accuracies in the detection of Cystoisospora spp. when compared to the gold standard. Lastly, the Faust technique showed the highest accuracy in the detection of Toxoplasma gondii when compared to the gold standard. This study underscores the importance of combining parasitological techniques in the diagnosis of intestinal parasites in cats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612015069","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,7]],"date-time":"2015-11-07T22:40:20Z","timestamp":1446936020000},"page":"471-474","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Evaluation of the accuracy of parasitological techniques for the diagnosis of intestinal parasites in cats"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Hanstter Hallison Alves","family":"Rezende","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juliana Boaventura","family":"Avelar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helo\u00edsa Ribeiro","family":"Storchilo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marina Clare","family":"Vinaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana Maria de","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Epi Info","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"1","article-title":"An\u00e1lise comparativa da sensibilidade da t\u00e9cnica de Willis, no diagn\u00f3stico parasitol\u00f3gico da Ancilostom\u00edase","volume":"5","author":"Cerqueira EJL","year":"2007","journal-title":"Di\u00e1logos de Ci\u00eancia"},{"issue":"5","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"916","DOI":"10.2307\/3281005","article-title":"Determination of the specific gravity of certain helminth eggs using sucrose density gradient centrifugation","volume":"68","author":"David ED","year":"1982","journal-title":"J Parasitol"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Parasitologia cl\u00ednica: sele\u00e7\u00e3o de m\u00e9todos e t\u00e9cnicas de laborat\u00f3rio para o diagn\u00f3stico das parasitoses humanas","first-page":"577","volume-title":"Controle de qualidade em parasitologia cl\u00ednica","author":"De Carli GA","year":"2001"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Parasitologia cl\u00ednica: sele\u00e7\u00e3o de m\u00e9todos e t\u00e9cnicas de laborat\u00f3rio para o diagn\u00f3stico das parasitoses humanas","first-page":"3","volume-title":"Colheita e preserva\u00e7\u00e3o da amostra fecal","author":"De Carli GA","year":"2001"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref6","first-page":"15","article-title":"Comparison of common fecal flotation techniques for the recovery of parasite eggs and oocysts","volume":"6","author":"Dryden MW","year":"2005","journal-title":"Vet Ther"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.1938.s1-18.169","article-title":"A critical study of clinical laboratory technics for the diagnosis of protozoan cysts and helminth eggs in feces","volume":"18","author":"Faust EC","year":"1938","journal-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref8","first-page":"1","article-title":"Giardia - diagnosis, clinical course and epidemiology.
