Advances in Parasitology

Abstract

Cyclospora cayetanensis is a coccidian pathogen in humans. Cyclosporiasis is characterized by mild to severe nausea, anorexia, abdominal cramping, and watery diarrhea. Cyclospora has now been described from patients with protracted diarrheal illness in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Africa, Bangladesh, south-east Asia, Australia, England, and eastern Europe, and is characterized by marked seasonality. Routes of transmission are still unknown, although the fecal-oral route, either directly or via water, is probably the major one. A recent outbreak in the USA suggested transmission of Cyclospora by ingestion of contaminated berries. Cyclospora oocysts can be detected by phase contrast microscopy, modified acid-fast staining, autofluorescence, and amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. Oocysts are not sporulated when excreted in the feces, and sporulated oocysts are needed for infection. Each sporulated oocyst contains two sporocysts and each sporocyst contains two sporozoites. Humans seem to be the only host for this parasite. Histopathological examination of jejunal biopsies from infected individuals showed mild to moderate acute inflammation of the lamina propria and surface epithelial disarray. Paras...Continue Reading
