Hello, I'm working on my MSc project related to Parasitology of Marine mammals, particularly cetaceans. I've been identifying some eggs and adult specimens by morphological methodologies, however, there are some of them that I can't identify, for that reason I was wondering if some of you could help me to identify some of these parasite eggs.
To start, it is important to refer that the samples were taken from stranded cetaceans who were already dead and to which cetacean species I found each egg.
I've attached a PDF Document with 13 Figures, each figure has specified to which species it belongs. I hope you can help me with this challenge.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

If you have a morphological approximation of the possible parasites, then you should have a primer made of those species of parasites. Then DNA extraction from the eggs, which can be with a protocol for tissue and subsequently PCR with the primers of the parasite to be searched for.
