Answer: Bertiella sp. eggs
Great job everyone! I thought this would be a tough one, but received lots of correct answers. Bertiella is a genus of cestodes (tapeworms) that typically infect non-human primates, although humans are also occasionally infected.
The diagnosis can be made from the presence of the classic pyriform apparatus, an inner membrane with projections around a 6-hooked embryo.
