Fecal flotation was performed on feces from a sheep and a donkey at different times and from different locations in Grenada, West Indies. The following egg was found in both fecals.
Dear Camille
Again, I recommend you to use the service of Diagnostic Assistance of the CDC for Parasites. This is very useful. I have used it before. Did you used it with the previous eggs found in feces from Lontra longicaudis?
Please check this link: http://www.cdc.gov/dpdx/contact.html
There, is also the information required to send the images for diagnosis.
Finally, please if you consider this answer appropriate, please upvote it using the green up arrow click. Thanks.
This could be an egg of Cooperia maybe...?
Do you have the dimensions of these eggs? That should be really helpful!
In parasitology, size DOES matter!
I agree that a measurement is important for egg identification. It has a relative thick egg shell, suggesting n non-strongylid-type egg.
Cooperia is not a parasite of donkey. In my opinion it could also be an acarina egg... however, it's difficult to say with one small image only
