High impact information on Cyclospora

Co-trimoxazole for Cyclospora infection [1].
Leftover cake was positive for Cyclospora DNA by polymerase chain reaction analyses [2].
We report on safranin-based stain that uniformly stains oocysts of Cyclospora a brilliant reddish orange, provided that the fecal smears are heated in a microwave oven prior to staining [3].
A modified Kato technique was used to quantify Cyclospora oocysts during successive days prior to, during, and after successful cotrimoxazole therapy (160 mg of trimethoprim, 800 mg sulfamethoxazole twice a day for seven days) for this infection [4].
In contrast, the formalin-ether sedimentation technique was found to be the least reliable concentration technique for the detection of Cyclospora in human feces [5].

Gene context of Cyclospora

A study of diarrheal diseases associated with Cyclospora cayetanensis was conducted in Nepal and Lao PDR [6].
