The egg on the left was found in the feces of a Manhattan,
Kansas resident. A friend of yours sent you the fecal sample gratis (yes,
this happens often when you are a parasitologist). The egg measured
about 45 micrometers long x 40 micrometers
wide. What species is represented?
Ascaris lumbricoides
Enterobius vermicularis
Schistosoma japonicum
Trichuris trichiura
