Parasites which might be missed:Tape worms (cestodes)
Unfortunately with intestinal tapeworms, the release of egg containing parts (proglottida) is only intermittent. There might be samples without any traces. But the tapeworm parts can be seen with the naked eye as little white worm like bits in the stool. The stool has to be observed in case of a suspicion.

Diphyllobothrium latum : Fish tape worm
Taenia solium: Pig tape worm
Taenia saginata: Cattle tape worm
Dipylidium caninum: Cucumber tapeworm or the double-pore tapeworm,
