A ‘new’ parasite: human infection with Cyclospora cayetanensis [PDF]

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1994
Introduction In 1986, a diarrhoeal syndrome was reported in 4 immunologically competent patients, 3 having visited Haiti and one Mexico, whose faeces contained numerous structures 8-9 urn in diameter with a well defined outer wall and granular material inside (SOAVE et al., 1986).
