چکیده
The genus Cyclospora is in the subclass Coccidia, phylum Apicomplexa. This genus is taxonomically related to coccidian genera in humans. This organism has previously been referred to as a cyanobacterium-like body (CLB) and, in recent years, a new coccidian pathogen, Cyclospora cayetanensis, has been putatively identified (1, 2). No other species of Cyclospora affecting humans have yet been determined (3). This organism has been detected in diarrheal stools of patients with the HIV-virus and in travelers with diarrhea (1).
