@Vet_Parasites There are species with oocysts smaller than 25 um as well.

[Pablo David Jimenez Castro🇨🇴 @PabloDavidJime2]

@Vet_Parasites Humans have their own species, Trichuris trichura

[Pablo David Jimenez Castro🇨🇴 @PabloDavidJime2]

@Vet_Parasites Endoparasites are referred to as infections though, whereas infestations for ectoparasites

@Vet_Parasites Lovely strobila!!!

[Pablo David Jimenez Castro🇨🇴 @PabloDavidJime2]

@Vet_Parasites Parascaris spp.

[Pablo David Jimenez Castro🇨🇴 @PabloDavidJime2]

@parasitesrule Would be great to include the veterinary parasitology conferences as well.

[Pablo David Jimenez Castro🇨🇴 @PabloDavidJime2]

@Vet_Parasites I wouldn’t refer to this as a heavy infection rather as a heavy egg burden. Number of eggs doesn’t translate into establishment rate in the host

@RonelPienaar8 Beautiful!! Where are you located?

Hot off the press!

Only then can he observe the rules of courtesy and humility, obey the conventions and rules of society, and achieve order

So I was shampooing at 14

@Vet_Parasites Please note that you cannot distinguish these from Echinococcus spp., so the more accurate diagnosis would be Taenia-type or taeniid eggs

[Pablo David Jimenez Castro🇨🇴 @PabloDavidJime2]

@Vet_Parasites Please note that this would be classified as Taenia-type eggs or Taeniid eggs as you cannot say for certain that these are Taenia spp. eggs.

[Pablo David Jimenez Castro🇨🇴 @PabloDavidJime2]

@Vet_Parasites Please note that this could be Toxocara cati as it can be difficult to differentiate these two species based on egg morphology. Also, because T. leonina also uses félida as definitive hosts, I would not discard coprophagia and these just being spurious parasites in this dog

[Pablo David Jimenez Castro🇨🇴 @PabloDavidJime2]

@Vet_Parasites Please note that Taenia spp. eggs cannot be differentiated from Echinococcus spp. eggs based on morphology. Thus, we can only say Taenia-type or taeniid eggs.

@Vet_Parasites Please note that the infective stage is the first stage larva, not the second stage.

@Vet_Parasites Transplacentally is actually a more important route of transmission for puppies
