Maria, a 5-year-old girl, presented to a local clinic complaining of diarrhea and gastrointestinal pain and bleeding. Patient history revealed that Maria recently emigrated to the United States from Puerto Rico. The physician on duty ordered a series of stool samples for O&P. Barrel-shaped structures that appeared to have plugs at each end were seen on the direct wet preps, concentrated wet preps after performing a zinc sulfate flotation method, and permanent stains. How did Maria contract this parasite? what is the common name of the parasite? what is the scientific name and morphologic form of the parasitepresent in Maria's samples?
