Abnormalities of Baylisascaris procyonis eggs shed by experimentally inoculated dogs and raccoons, visualized on fecal flotation. A) Triangular egg. B) Pear-shaped egg. C) Almond-shaped egg. D) Triangular egg with indented edge. E) “Immature” egg with underdeveloped morula and no cortex or proteinaceous coat. F) Budded egg. G) Twin conjoined eggs with separate morulae and vitelline membranes. H) Triplet conjoined eggs with distinct morulae; vitelline membrane might be shared between 2 eggs. Arro
