The Answer to the Parasite Case of the Week 777 is up - and it's a jackpot of parasite eggs!
Easy version:
- Trichuris trichura
- Ascaris lumbridoides
- Taenia sp.
Hard version:
- Bertiella sp.
- Acanthocephalan egg (M. moniliformis - expressed from the worm so slightly immature, which is why it's not as clear as you would expect)
- Inermicapsifer or Raillietina (Actually Inermicapsifer, but as Idzi mentioned, you cannot tell the egg capsules apart from these two).
How many of you got the jackpot?!?
Thank you for playing for more than 18 years and 777 cases 😉
