    The document describes the key identifying characteristics of eggs from various parasites found in stool samples: 1) It provides details on size, shape, color, structures within (e.g. segmented ovum), presence of bile staining, ability to float in salt solution, and whether eggs are fertilized or unfertilized for parasite eggs including Taenia, Hymenolepsis nana, Ascaris, hookworms, Enterobius vermicularis, Trichuris trichuria, Strongyloides stercoralis, trematode flukes, and Fasciola hepatica. 2) The eggs are differentiated based on these morphological features to identify the parasite species.
