Cyclospora infection is triggered by a single-cell parasite. The infection is known to source watery diarrhea. At times, the diarrhea caused by it can be explosive.

The parasite manages to get into the body while someone consumes contaminated water or food.

  • Older adults.
  • Young children.
  • Infants.

How Is Cyclospora Infection Diagnosis ?
