Based on uterine braching characteristics, I'm gonna go for Diphyllobothrium latum. The eggs are kinda shrunken/dehydrated-looking, but I'm guessing this is due to the staining procedure. (Maybe a pathologist got a hold of it!) :)
I agree with Heather. D. latum is most likely. The knobby bits at the end are very subtle. D.latum is cool b/c it is the very longest tapeworm human can host, right?
