A semi-quantitative estimation of the number of eggs in unknown samples. a A calibration curve of faecal concentration series ranging from 7500 to 1 EPG. The data points are the median of three replicates of two independently diluted series. The equation and R2 linearity value resulting from the linear regression analysis are shown on the graph. b The formula serves to convert plasmid copy numbers to EPG and was created by assignment of plasmid standard copy numbers to corresponding EPG counts correlated based on faecal concentration series
