Abstract
THE study of the relative infectivity of Dracunculus larvæ in various species of Cyclops which we undertook at the Department of Parasitology in the University College, Ibadan, involved the examination of thousands of Cyclops. Ordinarily there are two ways of identifying infected Cyclops: to examine them alive, which could be done if one is dealing with a few specimens; or, when large numbers have to be dealt with, to stain them in bulk and then examine them, one by one, later.
