Grams of faeces, dilution factors, and multiplication factors used to calculate eggs per gram estimates derived from the trematode egg counts

Grams of faeces	Dilution factora	Multiplication factorb
0.1	150.0	75.0
0.2	75.0	37.5
0.3	50.0	25.0
0.4	37.5	18.5
0.5	30.0	15.0
0.6	25.0	12.5
0.7	21.5	10.5

^aCalculated by dividing the final volume of the solution (15 ml) by the amount of faeces analysed (0.1–0.7 g)

^bCalculated by dividing the corresponding dilution factor by the analysed volume of 2 ml
