A 4-year-old boy in the southeastern U.S. presented to his family physician suffering from diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. Blood was drawn for analysis and revealed a hemoglobin level of 12 mg/dL. A culture of bacterial pathogens was ordered, and three stool specimens were submitted for ova and parasite examination. The bacterial culture was negative for enteric pathogens. Microscopic analysis of concentrated sediments of stool specimens revealed numerous bile-stained, barrel-shaped nematode eggs. The eggs were characterized by having clear, prominent polar plugs.

attention to confirm that her home remedy was effective. A stool specimen was collected and tested for ova-and-parasites (O&P) by her primary health care provider. The figure below shows an example of what was observed in low numbers in a formalin-ethyl acetate (FEA) concentration of the stool. What is the Genus and species of this organism? Taenia solium Ascaris lumbricoides Ascaris suum Trichinella spiralis Taenia saginata

A previously healthy 24-year-old man visits his physician complaining of significant weight loss, flatulence, and foul-smelling stools. He reports feeling fatigued since his return from Peru 3 months previously and has suffered abdominal cramping and intermittent loose, nonbloody stools since then. The patient's stool ova studies demonstrated characteristic trophozoites.
