[Comparative value of egg size and larval morphology in the diagnosis of species of ancylostomids. Existence of abnormal larvae]. / Intérêt comparé de la taille des oeufs et de la morphologie des larves dans le diagnostic des espèces d'ankylostomidés. Existence de larves anormales.

The values of eggs mensuration and results of coproculture have been compared for the identification of species of ancylostomia infestations. Results are confirming the necessity of coproculture for this diagnosis when the size of eggs is not inferior to 61 mu or superior to 72 mu. One case of morphological anomaly of some strongyloïd larvae of Necator americanus has been related.
