Dear Mohsen

I recommend you to use the service of Diagnostic Assistance of the CDC for Parasites. This is very useful. I have used it before.

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.
