After almost 2 months of treating my geckos for pinworms, I'm still finding oocysts in the fecal floatation. I'm starting to believe that the oocysts that I'm seeing is a type of roach pinworms. Marly, one of the 3 "infected" gecko, had negative results for a whole month already; but today, I spotted oocysts in his feces again! During the past month, he ate only mealworms and silkworms, and all these times, his fecals had always been clean. I only fed him several discoids some days ago, and I immediately get a positive result. The other 2 that are infected never had a clean negative, and they had discoids as their mainfood.
I know for the insect species of pins, I should see the actual worm in the feces; but since I only did floatation and not smears, maybe only the oocysts floated up? I'm going to stop feeding off the discoids to all 3, and see if that's the problem...:main_no:
