Cyclosporiasis – Vaccine research
There is no vaccine to control "Cyclospora" infection in humans at present, but one is available for reduction of fetal losses in sheep.
Cyclosporiasis – Mode of infection
When an oocyst of "Cyclospora cayetanensis" enters the small intestine, it invades the mucosa, where it incubates for about one week. After incubation, the infected person begins to experience severe watery diarrhea, bloating, fever, stomach cramps, and muscle aches.
The parasite particularly affects the jejunum of the small intestine. Of nine patients in Nepal who were diagnosed with this illness, all had inflammation of the lamina propria along with an increase of plasma in the lamina propria. Of this sample, Oocysts were observed in the duodenal aspirates.
Oocysts are often present in the environment as a result of using contaminated water or human feces as fertilizer. Cyclosporiasis primarily affects humans and primates.
