Description:

Cyclospora cayetanensis is the causative agent of cyclosporiasis, an emerging infections disease. A new method for the purification of Cycloposra cayetanensis oocysts from fecal matter has been developed, using a modified detachment solution and a Renocal-sucrose gradient sedimentation. This method yields an abundant number of oocysts free from adherent fecal debris and pure enough for flow cytometry.
