Fasciola hepatica Ova whole mount, natural color, Parasitology Slides

Our Fasciola hepatica ova whole mount slides are meticulously prepared to showcase the distinct morphological features required for accurate identification in veterinary and medical parasitology.

Product Specifications:

Dimensions: 25.4mm x 76.2mm (1″ x 3″)
Staining: Naturally preserved or lightly counter-stained to highlight the operculum and internal yolk cells. The shell typically retains its natural golden-brown bile-stained color.
Quality Control: Each slide is inspected to ensure the presence of clear, undistorted eggs with visible internal structures.

Key Identification Features:

Large Size: These are among the largest helminth eggs, typically measuring 130–150 µm in length.
Ellipsoidal Shape: The eggs have a consistent oval, symmetrical shape.
Operculum: A distinct “cap” or lid is present at one pole (though it can be difficult to see if not slightly open).
Internal Contents: The egg is unembryonated when passed, containing a central zygote surrounded by numerous vitelline (yolk) cells.
Smooth Shell: The shell is thin, smooth, and lacks the lateral or terminal spines seen in Schistosoma species.

Biological Significance:

Pathogenesis: Causes Fascioliasis, leading to liver inflammation, bile duct obstruction, and fibrosis.
Transmission: Infection occurs by ingesting metacercariae encysted on aquatic vegetation (like watercress).
Diagnostic Challenges: These eggs are morphologically nearly identical to those of Fasciolopsis buski. Clinical context (liver vs. intestinal symptoms) is often required for differentiation.
