Dipylidium caninum
Body lice eggs.
D. caninum proglottids->egg packets
Grain of rice appearance. Dipylidium caninum proglottids for sure. Have only seen D. caninum proglottids once in my career. FP in Vt
marvellous! Was the child actually infected with D. caninum, or had she/he been playing in a dog poo area...?
Definitely Dipylidium caninum. Was it merely coincidental that you posted Ctenocephalides last week? Regardless, it's very appropriate, seeing as that both adult C. canis and C. felis can carry the cysticercoid form of D. caninum to people. Excellent case!
Yo is there anybody out there... I have some very interesting pictures I would like to share with someone.
