Golden-brown fragments of the liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) eggs after being disrupted on a bench top homogeniser with the aid of ceramic beads prior to DNA 'eggs'-traction. The eggs, which are notoriously hard to crack and even remain intact after freezing, are shown here under a light microscope suspended in lysis buffer. Complete disruption is an important precursor enabling access to the DNA within, ultimately allowing the development of a diagnostic workflow for detection of Fasciola-positive faecal samples.
