Overview

Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. It is a pathogenic protozoan transmitted by feces or feces-contaminated fresh produce and water. Outbreaks have been reported in imported raspberries. Fortunately it is not spread from person to person. It is commonly the cause of diarrhea for many travelers.
