It's time for our fun monthly case from Idzi Potters and the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp. The following objects were seen in a stool specimen (direct wet prep) from a child with watery diarrhea. The objects measure approximately 40-45 µm in length. Identification?

Stomi (con cellule di guardia) su foglia di pianta
Leaves with stomata only on the top page.
Just a few pollen grains. These may be mistaken for parasites ova.

My wrong, agree with above comments.

Agree with turgid guard cells, with stomatal pores.
Estoma de hojas, artefactos
Before these can be seen in stool, they must be first passed through the stoma-ch! :-)
Idzi, I couldn't identify. Thanks for the lesson.
Trichuris spp

Woaaw! I feel honored! Something that Old One could not identify! That’s not easy to find! ;-)
Most of the time, I am learning from you, Old One! So allow me to thank you for those lessons too! And the same counts for Blaine, Florida Fan, Bernardino, Luis, Sir Galahad (and probably a bunch of others that I forgot at this moment, sorry) too! And of course for Dr. Pritt who created this wonderful platform of knowledge! So thanks Bobbi! Thanks everyone!
Three cheers.
