[Cyclospora sp]. / Cyclospora sp.

A few years ago, a new Coccidian, "Cyclospora sp', has been found in the stools of both immuno-competents and AIDS patients with diarrhoeal illness. The epidemiology, natural history and clinical manifestations of Cyclospora infection have been charted, but its life cycle has not been described yet. We present here 19 cases of Cyclospora infections diagnosed in our laboratories in the past two years.
