Blaine: Enterobius v.
ReplyDeleteJeff: Proglottids Taenia Solium and Diana, I'm sorry, it looks like a female tick.
Happy Halloween...Enterobius vermicularis, Onchocerca sp., Oestrus ovis, Clonorchis sinensis, Planorbidae snail and super Pediculus hominis capitis
ReplyDeleteE. vermicularis, microfilarium possibly a Loa Loa, myasis Dermatobia hominis, C. sinensis and Pediculus Superhumanus. Happy Halloween everyone.

Enterobius vermicularis; I'd go for Wuchereria bancrofti; Dermatobia hominis; an adult fluke with a freshwater snail; and parasite gal has both a louse (Pediculus humanus) and a bed bug (Cimex lectularius - mask).
ReplyDeleteVery nice cup cakes too!!!
Trick or treat!
E. vermicularis, Wuchereria bancrofti, Calliphora/Lucilia L-III, Clonorchis sinensis and snail vector and finally "The Captain Pediculus humanus".
ReplyDeleteWarm greetings everyone.
Super! Heather Rose and family are Ixodes ticks, I think! (Shield and anal groove -sorry no offence intended)
ReplyDeleteBlaine looks like he might have Trichinella cysts.
ReplyDeleteDr. Bryson has a non-staining sheath, and nuclei that don't extend all the way down th tail, so I think maybe Brugia timori?.
Patty and Sue have straight spiracular slits that point toward their buttons, and a complete peritreme. Lucilia?
I see a family of hard ticks, and then a fluke of some sort with it's host snail. Dicrocoelium?
I came to work yesterday as a hookworm.
Two hookworms, really.

I’d love to see photos Mark! Bobbi
DeleteI can't figure out how to share them here, so I posted them on your google+ page. I'm already thinking about next year's costume!
ReplyDelete- Mark
Mark, can you email them to me at b_pritt@yahoo.com? I’m having trouble accessing the links you sent me.
DeleteSorry,somehow I missed the whole family of Ixodes.
