It looks like Paragonumus westermani.
It looks too big to me to be a Paragonimus. It looks more like a Fasciola hepatica.
I agree with the Fasciola hepatica. The miracidium are being released from the operculum.
Great blog you got here. It would be great to read something more concerning this topic.
BTW check the design I've made myself A level escort
Fasciola species, either buski or hepatica. BW in VT
This parasite has a fragile egg. I have seen parts of broken eggs.In this specimen the operculum has popped probably due to pressure of the coverslip.
Based the size and morphology Fasciolopsis or Fasciola eggs.
Since the operculum is clear and the abopercular end is slighlty irregular or "roughen" appearance, I would call it,
Fasciola hepatica egg
This sure beats the Hookworm eggs I found this week
Thanks again for sharing
