:: Ah, I didn't know that. In sanitation we often speak of "helminth eggs" and then specifically of "Ascaris eggs" (because they are the easiest to count under a microscope??). Could someone add the right sentence then, e.g. "Most of the common helminths that are causing helminth infections inflicting humans reproduce via an egg phase. These helminth eggs are also called ova and can be detected in the faeces of an infected person as well as in the faecal sludge from pit latrines. One example for a helminth that is reproducing via eggs is Ascaris". Can someone verify if tis is correctly worded like this?
