The correct
answer is B, these are eggs of Trichuris vulpis, the dog whipworm.
Presence of T. vulpis eggs in human specimens may be associated with
poor hygiene. T. vulpis eggs can be acquired from the environment
contaminated by infected dogs. Children may acquire this infection
by fecal-oral contamination. Appropriate hygiene practices like hand
washing associated with chemotherapy is recommended to control the infection
in this setting.
