Cyclospora cayetanensis, a microscopic parasite, has the potential to be transmitted through both food and water sources, leading to the development of intestinal disease known as Cyclosporiasis in humans. In order to provide a comprehensive understanding of this parasite and its impact on human health, Cyclospora and Cyclosporiasis: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, Detection, and Control delves into the examination of 22 different species of Cyclospora. Furthermore, it explores the infection of C. cayetanensis in humans, offering valuable insights into the taxonomy, biology, molecular characteristics, and transmission of the parasite. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, public health officials, and food safety officials alike. It offers comprehensive coverage that encompasses taxonomy and biology, molecular characteristics, and transmission of the parasite. Additionally, it provides essential data for the epidemiology of Cyclospora spp., including C. cayetanensis, as well as strategies for monitoring large-scale outbreaks of these parasites.

The book goes beyond the basics and delves into the clinical symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment and prevention strategies for Cyclosporiasis. It also educates readers about the hazards associated with the parasite, common means of transmission, and self-protection measures that can be taken to minimize the risk of infection. By providing a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of Cyclospora and its effects on human health, Cyclospora and Cyclosporiasis: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, Detection, and Control serves as a valuable tool for those seeking to better understand and address this important parasite.
