Magnified 125X, this photomicrograph revealed the presence of two trematode eggs, a Fasciolopsis buski egg on the right, and an Echinostoma sp. egg seen of the left, which were found in an unstained formalin-preserved stool sample. Note how much larger the F. buski is compared to that of the Echinostoma sp. egg. F. buski trematodes are the largest intestinal flukes found parasitizing human beings. These flukes inhabit Asia and the Indian subcontinent, especially in areas where humans raise pigs, and consume freshwater plants.
