Hymenolepis diminuta – Egg (60-80 µm long) in stools

France, Marty Pierre

The egg of H. diminuta is larger than that of H. nana. The light brown outer shell is rather thick, and displays a finely radial pattern, which is well apparent on this pic. The inner shell is seldom thickened at both poles, and never bears chalazas.
