1. A method for evaluating the viability of parasitic or non-parasitic worms, for example helminths, comprising(a) providing a sample comprising one or more parasitic or non-parasitic worms, for example helminths;

  • (b) contacting the parasitic or non-parasitic worms with a concentration of a first fluorescent dye sufficient to yield a detectable first colour fluorescence in any live parasitic or non-parasitic worms present in the sample and a concentration of a second fluorescent dye sufficient to yield a detectable second colour fluorescence in any dead parasitic or non-parasitic worms present in the sample; and

    (c) detecting the first and second fluorescence of the parasitic or non-parasitic worms.
