| sequence variability in the first internal transcribed spacer region within and among cyclospora species is consistent with polyparasitism. | cyclospora cayetanensis is a coccidian parasite which causes severe gastroenteritis in humans. molecular information on this newly emerging pathogen is scarce. our objectives were to assess genetic variation within and between human-associated c. cayetanensis and baboon-associated cyclospora papionis by examining the internal transcribed spacer (its) region of the ribosomal rna operon, and to develop an efficient polymerase chain reaction- (pcr)-based method to distinguish c. cayetanensis from o ... | 2001 | 11595235 |
| a survey for cyclospora spp. in kenyan primates, with some notes on its biology. | from march 1999 through august 2000, 511 stool samples collected from 11 different primate species in 10 geographically distinct locations in kenya, east africa, were screened for the presence of cyclospora spp. oocysts. positive samples (43/102, 42%) were identified in vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) in 4 of 4 locations; 19/206 (9%) in yellow and olive baboons (papio cynocephalus, p. anubis, respectively) in 5 of 5 locations; and 19/76 (25%) in black and white colobus monkeys (colobus a ... | 2001 | 11780827 |
| Cyclospora papionis, Cryptosporidium hominis, and Human-Pathogenic Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Captive Baboons in Kenya. | Cyclospora papionis, Cryptosporidium hominis, and Enterocytozoon bieneusi were detected in 42 (17.9%), 6 (2.6%), and 29 (12.3%) of 235 newly captured baboons in Kenya, respectively. Most C. hominis subtypes and E. bieneusi genotypes found have been detected in humans in the area, suggesting that cross-species transmission of cryptosporidiosis and microsporidiosis is possible. | 2011 | 21956988 |
