Proglottids are necessary for differentiation between T. saginata and T. solium, and these are very nice representations of T. saginata gravid proglottids with greater than 13 uterine branches. Nice picture of Taenia egg as well, although species identification cannot be made from the egg alone.

The eggs of T.solium and T.saginata are identical, so not useful to differentiate between the species. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
