Cyclospora cayetanensis

Posted on January 18, 2007 by Cyclospora Lawyer

The blog, Messaged from the Outhouse, posted two pictures of Cyclospora in June of 2006. In addition to the photos, the blog's author included a short description of Cyclospora cayatenensis, which includes the following:

UV-light photography of Cyclospora cayatenensis, a human parasite only discovered in 1994 in Peru. This protozoon is transmitted via the faecal-oral route has been popping up all over the world, but seems to be most prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. It causes a prolonged course of up to 12 weeks of watery diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fevers, muscle aches and flatulence, and, when untreated, can lapse regularly.

Visit the blog post to see the pictures of Cyclospora, which are said to look like a new galaxy.
