Procedure for the evaluation of protocols for the recovery of Taenia saginata eggs from the exoskeleton of house flies. A The pulvillus/claw region of each fly was spiked with 3 to 5 T. saginata eggs using the Micro Pick and Place System (Nepa Gene Co. Ltd.). B Two-phase systematic assessment and modification of the recovery protocols. The black arrow indicates the best-performing protocol, as determined by performance evaluation, which was repeated in the subsequent phase. Protocol notation: E, exoskeleton; I–II, phase during which the protocol was evaluated; 1–3, protocol within that phase. PBS, Phosphate-buffered saline
