Cyclospora cayetanensis is a parasite made of one cell, This parasite causes an intestinal infection called cyclosporiasis. It is too small to see without a microscope.
Cyclosporiasis.is spread by people ingesting something, such as food or water, that is contaminated with feces. Cyclospora needs days to weeks after being passed in a bowel movement to become infectious for another person. Therefore, it is unlikely that cyclospora is passed directly from one person to another.
People living or traveling in tropical or subtropical regions of the world may be at increased risk of infection. Foodborne outbreaks of the illness in the U.S. have been linked to various types of imported fresh produce, such as raspberries, basil, snow peas and mesclun lettuce. In some countries the people who pick produce are not given places to wash their hands after going to the bathroom.This can spread many bacterial diseases. People need to wash all fresh produce.
The symptoms of cyclospora infection can last for weeks in otherwise healthy people. They include fatigue, lack of appetite, nausea, abdominal cramping and a low-grade fever.People with compromised immune symptoms will have more severe and longer-lasting symptoms.
