He was beside himself. Then someone told him of a Smithy in the next village with great success curing this malady both in man and beast. So off our Hero went to the next village seeking a cure.<br /><br />He found the Smithy bent over a huge anvil crafting horseshoes with his mighty hammer. “Good day friend” said the Smithy “how can I help you?” Hero said “I have worms and I need to be rid of them”. Smithy looked him up and down. “Yes I can help. Wait hear and I’ll get my tools”. Soon Smithy returned with 2 unshelled hardboiled eggs. “Friend, drop your leggings and lean over the anvil”. He complied, willing to do anything to end his torment. The Smithy then gently placed both eggs into Hero’s rectum. “ Now go back to your village and return in one week and I will repeat the treatment”.<br /><br />Hero did what he was told and returned the next week. The process was repeated. This went on for two months. Then the day came for the cure.<br /><br />Bent over the anvil, Hero noticed the Smithy had but one egg, which he gently deposited. Hero’s lower bowels began to rumble and he began to feel rectal urgency. A delicate head had emerged, connected to a ribbon like body. The “thing” appeared to look around, though it had no eyes. Then it spoke. “Where’s my other hardboiled egg”<br /><br />WHAM… The mighty hammer stuck, smashing the tiny head.<br />Old Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517349371972756602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-282860940006639472019-09-11T13:09:29.704-05:002019-09-11T13:09:29.704-05:00Io aggiungerei anche il colore leggermente giallas...Io aggiungerei anche il colore leggermente giallastro, che H.nana non ha, avendo un aspetto jalinoSir Galahadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629414661390580009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-3352544651052893862019-09-11T10:23:43.682-05:002019-09-11T10:23:43.682-05:00Hymenolepsis diminuta - lack of polar filaments an...Hymenolepsis diminuta - lack of polar filaments and the larger size. <br />Husain Poonawalanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-15016686496342971722019-09-11T07:32:10.603-05:002019-09-11T07:32:10.603-05:00Thank you Blaine for the concise explanation.

So, at the time of its description, H. diminuta may have been the smallest tapeworm known from humans (I am not sure what host it was originally described from).<br /><br /><br />Blaine A.
