Answer: Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura eggs.
As noted by a few of the readers, both fertilized and unfertilized Ascaris ova are present. It is common to see co-infections with geohelminths in patients from endemic settings. Therefore, a good take home point is: if you see one parasite, keep looking!
