Hymenolepsis nana?
Lee
Agree with above. Hymenolepis nana.
The size of the adult parasite would suggest a dwarf tapeworm, which narrows it down to Hymenolepsis nana and diminuta. The H. nana eggs have polar filaments between the two membranes, which I think I see in the egg :)
Hymenolepis nana it is!
Hymenolepis nana.
The adult size is consistent with nana and diminuta. But what is distinctive between them, is that the egg has polar filaments spread out between the two membranes.
Hymenolepis nana.
