Emerging pathogen Cyclospora cayetanensis infection in Nepal.
Cylospora cayetanensis, an emerging parasitic pathogen of human is being increasingly recognized throughout the world, however the means of transmission and the possibility of a reservoir host remain an enigma. A longitudinal study on cyclosporiasis in different parts of Nepal was carried out from April, 1995 until November, 2000. Fecal specimens were collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic...
متن کاملEpidemiologic studies of Cyclospora cayetanensis in Guatemala.
In 1996 and 1997, cyclosporiasis outbreaks in North America were linked to eating Guatemalan raspberries. We conducted a study in health-care facilities and among raspberry farm workers, as well as a case-control study, to assess risk factors for the disease in Guatemala. From April 6, 1997, to March 19, 1998, 126 (2.3%) of 5, 552 surveillance specimens tested positive for Cyclospora; prevalenc...
متن کاملImplications of culture-independent panel-based detection of Cyclospora cayetanensis.
The Nebraska Medical Center (TNMC) was conducting an Institutional Review Board 8 approved research study utilizing the BioFire FilmArray Gastrointestinal Panel (BioFire 9 Diagnostics, Salt Lake City, UT) when an outbreak of cyclosporiasis occurred in Iowa and 10 Nebraska (1). The FilmArray GI Panel is a culture-independent molecular test that 11 simultaneously detects 14 bacterial, 5 viral, an...
متن کاملHuman Challenge Pilot Study with Cyclospora cayetanensis
We describe a pilot study that attempted to infect human volunteers with Cyclospora cayetanensis. Seven healthy volunteers ingested an inoculum of Cyclospora oocysts (approximately 200-49,000 oocysts). The volunteers did not experience symptoms of gastroenteritis, and no oocysts were detected in any stool samples during the 16 weeks volunteers were monitored.
متن کاملPCR confirmation of infection with Cyclospora cayetanensis.
persons and the public health relevance of this emerging pathogen as a potential cause of diarrheal outbreaks (3,4) make prompt disclosure of the epidemiologic features and behavior of the parasite necessary. As we propose the possible participation of poultry in the epidemiologic cycle of the coccidia, we invite other Cyclospora working groups worldwide to confirm the so far putative reservoir...
